Well funnyou should ask Today I have got the final sports gt astra designed. 2.5ltr v6 vectra engine single turbo upped to about 300hp (give or take) rear wheel drive monster and for best weight distribution the engine and box is going in rear the back seats gone fuel tank in front under bonnet partition put in with sound profing put in so you have a cockpit of two racing bucket seats roll cage and 4 point harness in. the front of car have usal body kit skirt etc same with side skirts but thats were it ends The former bonnet slam in some deep vents to two big electric fans because the rad is still mounted at front for cooling. the rear quater panels cut holes and add ducts each side for ram air to induction kit and boot lid vented for cooling. nice rear wing gt style wing. Plenty of carbon plenty of fibre glass light weight rear engined rear wheel drive vectra turbo astra. what ya think and it not going to be too hard just time consuming and some special one off parts but should be there.
