For me, its mine . Having built it and decided on what I wanted , gave me more opportunity to make decisions than the ones I bought used and tinkered with.

Just as an aside, unless you need the extra two channels on the FreeWHEEL, it has all the BlinkSTOP functionality built in! You just set channel 1 and 2 to be the indicators.

Are we talking of a road/trackday car, or a competition car?

For the road, I think if I was getting/building another seven style Westfiled, I'd be looking at a V8 engined car.

For sprinting, maybe a supercharged Busa angine in an aerorace chassis/body.
