I am planning a custom car. The guy is starting with an AMC AMX which weighs about 3,500 pounds.
It will have an automatic transmission. What engine setup is good for thirty miles per gallon at 65MPH and do about 13 flat in the quarter mile?
Can't be done. You'll never get that acceleration and that weight with that mileage. 2 of 3 is possible, but not all 3. Cheapest way to go that fast is to give up 2 wheels and get a sport bike, smartest choice is to slow the hell down. IMHO.
