No progress to report from the past few months. Other cars have been in front of it sadly. Her time will come though, no worries.

HO LEE SHEEEIIIITEEEEE what an emotional rollercoaster. Just got to the end and thought it was dead only to be tickled by some even heavier greatness. No words.

Just please promise not to leave us hanging again.

are you some kind of mad scientis or what

[warshark]

i am watching this build very closely

I could just tell you guys the details, but the speculation is way to fun to read :)

Wonder if it's gonna get a torque tube instead?

That's my guess as well, small set back of the engine, torque tube to the rear, and trans in the back. Seems like someone is trying to balance out a large power plant in a small package.

Here's a secondary thought. By putting the trans in the back, it opens up possibilities for a clean sheet design for a rear suspension with a traction optimized camber curve.

Guys, I highly doubt it will be mid-engine. Im guessing the S38 will occupy all of the engine bay, and the transmission will be sitting in the back to help balance out that heavy ass S38 motor up front. I cant wait.

I don't know, it depends on where you put the seats and pedals in the car. It's about 34" from the back of the door to the rear axle centerline and that S38 is prob about 30" long. The transaxle has the output flanges way towards the front so i bet it could be mid engine without too much trouble.... ;D

Jonathan's 02 be like ....

Holy fuck. This will be the most epic '02 in history with a mid engine S38. What is that transmission from?

[rturbo 930]

Will an S38 even fit behind the driver's seat?
