So my son (age 9) and a car nut came up with the perfect car.

A Ginetta G12 body/chasis that can handle a Corvette engine and a TVR Tuscan interior.

Your turn.

It all depends on how practical but I would want them all drive-able on the street. At one end it would be a Stealth B6 Sport, detuned Judd V10, sequential Hewland and a few creature comforts like a muffler.



Or Ginetta g12, bubble top for my 6'1 carriage, 6 speed from caterham and then just a powerful and reliable 4 pot - maybe with the intakes plenums sticking out at an angle biggrin



Keep dreaming . . .

The G12 is a minute car, to put a corvette engine in is ridiculous; bear in mind, for a man who has not previously worked as a jockey, to actually get in a G12 is some feat!!
The register shows most orginal G12s as having Lotus Twin Cam engines with one or two having the 997cc Cosworth

In my opinion, stick a powerful bike engine in and see what happens; far more practical with a small lightweight car.

p.s. do you already own a G12; if so is it Ginetta or Dare?
