I thought it would be fun put the specifications of some popular kit cars all in one place. Since they're kit cars, it's obvious that the horsepower and weights can be different. However, here's a good start:
Sonic 7:
96" wheelbase
68" track
1,000lbs
175hp with Duratec
5.7:1 hp/weight
Atom
92.3" wheelbase
63" track
1,400lbs
245hp
5.7:1 hp/weight
Superlight Roadster
96" wheelbase
72" track
1,300lbs
220hp with K20a
5.9:1 hp/weight
