mini-camaro

hey everyone well today i got this crazy idea of well building a miniture 87 iroc camaro! i think this would be so cool to have 1 exactly the same as my 87 iroc just well small. how much would this be all together for parts? just like get the shell with all body parts then add a small drivetrain, suspension, exhuast, engine, rims/tires, brakes, a miniture interior, pexiglass and whatever else to make it as light weight as possible and how big of a engine could be fit into 1 and how much possible horsepower/torque can be made. yes i want it totaly driveable and have everything working just like the real thing headlights, stereo, interior lights, interior parts, heater, a/c EVERYTHING. litterly just a mini camaro with everything working. how big of rims could be fit i want it as LOW to the ground as possible to make it look small but have 1 of them suspension lift systems that will raise it a couple extra inches just like in lamboghinis. so how much do you think this is to get the body and all of the other parts. thx i know it sound stupids but iv seen ones but with tiny weak engines i want something actually driveable on the streets. IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.

Re: mini-camaro

how small are you talking about? Miata small? smart car small? go cart small?
just to put your project in to perspective a little, I have herd that it takes $20,000 to build a fiero/ lambergini(sp?) kit car. so Unless you have A) a tone of time and skill. B)a lot of money. C)friends with skill, time and money, dont try it.
