Your basic AWD funny car...
Im sure some wrecked Audi has all the right bits.
Sounds like the logical endgame, anyway.
After that its tube frame Tesla time.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

4wheel drive would slow it down 
it would be 150-200kg heavier and it takes some power down also. We have 1500hp audi racing against me with all wheels spinning but few seconds slower 
But yes, Im thinking about adding 20cm of lenght

Frame got some more tubes. about 40kg heavier and weights totaly 165kg now.
As you noticed its 7.5s and its 30cm longer and for custom front axle this time
Some quick progress starts now because we have 2 weeks until first event but its about 50/50 that we can make it because that really really many new parts must be made and fitted. It will be over 1k HP and with some nitrous will be added too

Re: Type 4 to V8 NA to V8 NOS to 800 HP 8s V8 Turbo conversion
Saturday 3rd was the sadest day of my life.
I comleted the car for the event...many nights and days without any sleep and I crashed it.
@ 223km/h (from log) it pulled to side and made 8.5 to 9.5 x 360 degrees. The car is totally toast. No good parts.
I broke my 4th piece in my spine but I´m walking and recovering.
Its hard to retype all in english but I leave a link to my fanpage if anybody is interested: https://www.facebook.com/WhlsUP
Now I have to look for a guy who would be interested of building midengine beast because I can save my trans when I put it into new case and I really have to sell every part I can because I´m not sure how long it takes to recover and earn.
It´s 4 speed dogbox for dragrace. 01E - connects directly to any audi engine (only not vr6 I guess)
Thanks guys for your good response

And that, my friends, is why we should never skimp in the safety department.
Glad to hear you're alive and in decent spirits.

I can't believe you held on to the steering wheel the whole time. Glad you're ok and that cage saved you !

I wasnt sure about my belts and seat, I had once a situation when belt came off the HANS and then it was loose. Now I just pushed myself to the seat as I could with my hands and with my legs....just counted the hits and waited the end of it. I know that somebody tell to hold hands on chest but it was my choice this time. I have not a single blue spot of the belts...it tells me someting. I back was hurt of one side kick from right. I´m glad I had polstered seat and it was quite tight (junior size because I weight a bit under 70kg)
