rear mounted engine? - Page 2 - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

It would be a whole lot easier to just sell your car, buy an NSX, and turbocharge it.

Wouldn't it actually help in a front end collision? Basically the entire front end would be a big crumple zone, no?

this is something i have contemplated for a while. now the piece of crap in the other thread was all wrong a mid-engine conversion can be done right. it involves a lot of work but its do-able non the less and without the AWD it should be a hell of a lot lighter too.

You'd need that extra engine to power a 5000lb car!
