I think the one of a kind brake system will definitely need a proportioner valve. To adjust the braking force frontwards or backwards.
The weight distribution of the Wood's car looks good visually. It should be at least as well balanced as a stock Mk I.
So with some 9 inch wide front tires, and rear tires closer to a foot wide, it should handle like those hoity toyty Eye-tallion Uber Cars like the Ferrari.
Episode 4 of Season 7 (the current season) of Top Gear has the boys buying old Italian supercars from the 70's for around 20 grand. They bought a Maserati, Ferrari, and Lambo. The most powerful car was 225 HP brand new. They were all dynoed and shown to be running substantially below their advertised HP.
And then a light bulb turned on in my head. And I realized my Mk I could easily have outrun the Top Gear specimens. And probably outrun them new off the showroom floor too!
