i had considered a single seater very much however i really enjoy taking people out for rides and scaring the crap out of them which you just carnt do in a single seater also when going to shows etc the pasenger seat comes in really handy as a boot.

A single two seater then,like the Furore.

Friend of mine built a Ferrari replica in 1990 fom scratch and no plans, Kwaka 1300 motor and Honda civic box.

Passenger sat behind where the airbox went, FAF and scary handeled like on rails.

Rear engined as discussed here before,move seatback rails forward,feet where engine should be and use Audi/VW engine and box.
Front of engine to centre of d/shaft relatively short and 225 bhp is standard on TT engines given the right engine code, BAM etc.
