My idea is you not only need money ,you also need good ideas and ways to implement those ideas and not make them dry out on their way on your car...thats the point...in a normal process of compromise orientated development say 20 % of the idea will be left when it is reaching the car (see Mercedes having their 3 steps forward 2 and a half going back) so your progress will be hampered by your unability to correctly analyse the task before implementing a solution.
The real trick is using an integrating sort of approach and looking for the opportunities in integrating new ideas (adding a aero element that at the same time is a heat shield as a very crude example)..
But thats my half cent ,you might have better ideas..
