With no weight overhanging in front of the front axle and if you look close the rear of the engine is where the steering wheel is so the gearbox has to be at or behind the driver and he sits well back it may not be that bad Especially as there is 27 litres of empty space in that engine

Dont think this guys worries about stuff like that though !!!!

Wonder how stiff the springs have to be

That's a good point- weight distribution might be not so bad when the gas tanks are full.

But when they're going on empty, distribution might be a bit wonky.

yeah THough it managed 15 mpg which is better than I get in the RX-8 when competing SO the fuel may not go down as fast as we'd think !!!!

I love that (I presume) he works for Practical Performance Car.. or they at least obviously have a lot to do with it. What part of that is practical?! It's absolutely marvelous though, it might be my favourite thing ever. Bonus points for starting with an SD1 obv.

15mpg.. it's not your engine, it's how you drive it.. and if it never revs above 1000rpm then so much the better!

This is very possibly the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Bar none.
Ladies and gentlemen, the toaster.

For once I'd like to see some drifting action in that... toaster, indeed.
10 seconds were enough to get that it is capable of producing smoke

So that's what they meant by torque steer...

Crappy vid - but since we're on the drag racing theme... wait 'til the driver gets out.

EDIT: DAMMIT, Wouter, can we find what it is that stops the youtbue time parameter being acted on ?

Remember Billy Coleman , a real nice guy
rofl he got £125 for winning the event !!!

Miss the days of overnight rallies and walking out to the middle of nowhere to see six lamps approach you, a glimpse of the side of a car and tw red lights retreat ALL in freezing conditions

Check out the wheel lift at 2'50", setup for the roughest forest stages and then out on tarmac always made for fun handling
