I want to build a car that will do 200mph and still be able to drive it on a regular basis. Not a daily driver, but an every now and then sports car.
There are two ways I see going through this process start from scratch or just add parts to an already assembled car. I already know weight, hp and aero dynamics plays the largest roll. I also know that I want a 6 speed AWD transmission.
What kind of car should I start with?
OR
What kind of frame should I use?
What kind of engine should I use?
Turbo or Supercharged, which is better?
What type of AWD, 6-speed transmission would work best?
Anything else helpful?
Any real input would be helpful, especially if you actually know what you’re talking about and not just full of B.S.

i would start by purchasing a wrecked super-bike and probably wind up with something in between a pulse and a reliant scimitar i would also scrounge aircraft scrapyards for quality tubular components that are light weight for structural members and frames as well as hydraulic needs

Okay awd is not neccesary I run a 90 mustang in the Silver State classic in Nevada. I am currently also shooting for the 200 mark.
even the six speed isnt totally neccesary. but if you have the cash it will help. I am just 24 miles an hour shy. I say the best bet is a twin turbo set up over the supercharger. Turbo's dont rob anypower and now a days turbo lag isnt an issue. Make sure you have a great suspension and one hell of a brake set up. if you want further details I will get specific. gmkiller213@yahoo.com

already built- Ariel Atom, it costs 41,000 and will beat most Ferraris. If you got in a wreck there would be nothing left, its an open-wheel, open-cockpit design.
Do it Yourself- a Corvette can go 190+, so with a Supercharger will push 200 MPH. A supercharger is better because it is a cold air intake, and so is more effective and dosent harm emissions as much. The Corvette is also a usable daily driver.
