Re: How much would a custom Exotic car cost??

What exotic car has a Ford or Chevy drivetrain?

Whats your definition of an exotic car?

Your question is extremely ambiguous. It could range from $100,000 to well over $1,000,000. Please clarify and restate your question.

lol tru i definetly cant . but yea as far as the "exotic car" part I mean like a supercar. Something to compete with the likes of the McLaren F1, Ferrari Enzo. Like a homemade supercar. Like make it with after market cross-drilled discs, triple plate clutch, etc. The custom things would be the body, chassis, glass, etc

The engine and Tranny would prolly cost the most, and you would have to buy it from ferrari or sumthin. im guessing it will cost you around half a Mill or so mabe even the whole million.

Or, you could buy a Noble M12.

Re: How much would a custom Exotic car cost??

I would think that it would cost a fortune to design and build a good exotic that could really compete with a ferrari. It would probably cost about a million just to develop the body. Aerodynamics are so important, and if you screw them up your car will be crap. After spending a million on the body, you won't want to put a Ford engine in it.

Re: How much would a custom Exotic car cost??

To develop a decent new car model takes tens, even hundereds of millions of dollars. And there is a reason aluminum is hardly ever used for frames. It isn't strong enough. Also, you wouldn't build a supercar using a body on frame design, you'd do it carbon fiber unibody.

no i mean like make it without the development work. Just design the body and chassis and make it. Just leave out all the development costs, wind tunnel testing, etc. I would just make it for my use i guess
