I think so, but i like opinions on it

With 400bhp yes so you could get it off the line, but for a normal powered car it will be more hassle making it, it will be heavier, it wouldnt handle as well, it will cost more and I would put my mortgage that an equally powered normal rear wheel drive roadster would run rings around it in every respect, (unless its was really wet, but then why would you be going out in a car with no roof or windscreen in the wet!)

You would need bespoke bodywork too

Im all for pushing the boundries if thats your thing and it would be nice to see it done

I would watch your build with great interest but you will end up with an inferior car that will cost more to build (in my opinion!)
