I am currently in the process of designing and buildling a supercar for a budget of under $30,000 CAD. Now to clerify to somethings, at this point this project is only a CONCEPT. I have joined this forum with the intent to give my project some publicity. I understand that designing and building a supercar is a painfully long process. at this point in time i am learning to use tool such as "AUTOCAD" and "3D Studio Max". which are both programs by "AUTODESK". this project will take years to complete, and will prove to be a longer and harder process than i expect, and may also exceed my budget (hopefully not!!!).

I am now designing the body using the classic paper(alot of paper) and pencil, as well as "Autocad" and "3D Studio Max". I am also studying many books and literature in order to start designing my chassis(this is an interesting subject to study, quite a bit of physics envloved).

I am still drawing up concept models in order to start designing a model with the exact dimensions i need. My may of thinking is, If its not broken, dont fix it. so rather than use my own dimensions ie: wheel base, track width, weight distribution, i am going to base my car on a existing plat form. The acual car length, width, and hight may change based upon my final design. But the dimnesions and specifications on which the car drives on would remain the same. I have narrowed my selection down to four cars. I still have some blanks to fill in. If you could fill them in i would appriciate this. The stats i have are directly from the manufactures, and i would appriciate accurate information, thanks.

Here are the stats for the four cars i have selected:
