SEATING POSITION
We wanted the engine to be as centralized as possible in this car for dynamic purposes. We found that by using a transaxle from a C5 Corvette, we could have the engine about 16 inches farther forward when compared to a transaxle like the ones found in Porsche 911s. Having the engine in the center of the vehicle doesn't leave copious amounts of room for people. To solve this dilemma, we designed the front suspension in such a manner that the occupants would be able to sit with their legs between the upper and lower A-arms. This layout results in a favorable driving vantage point near the front of the car and leaves enough room to shoehorn the firebreathing, twin-supercharged V8 mill into position.
