Which I'm not doing for definite, but I might be....
I would be looking for the following.
200lbs/ft of torque at least. Ideally this should happen from under 2,000 rpm. Auto. (I'm building a 500kg track car with a sequential paddle shift and 10,500rpm limit so I don't need to change gear going to work. ) 30mpg on LPG or 50mpg on Diesel. Minimum budget - around a grand. Any less buys garbage Maximum budget £3,000. Gets you anything you want except Italian exotica.What to get ?
I know what I think, but would appreciate the disparate views of y'all.
