Re: Ok, who's gonna stick an Afla V-6 in this...

Mabye I'm going out on a limb here, but who in the heck decided to make
this horrible thing?  It looks like something a 16-year old hormone crazed kid
would draw.  Add to that the fact that the thing hasn't been crash tested or 
even had the experience of a areodynamics engineer to help it out....talk about a
death trap....Put me in an MG with a hemi V-8 and I'd feel safer.  
Anybody remember the Audi that flipped at Le Mans a few years ago on a straight?

To top it all off, they designed it to accept an ACCORD engine....for god's sake, at 
least make the mounts compatible with crate GM or Ford V-8's....
Say what you want about american cars, but the big block V-8 holds a solt spot with me.

To each his own, I guess....but I think my first instinct would be to laugh if I ever saw one
on the road.
Of course, super-ultra tricked out Civics with bodys kits and such cause the same reaction,
so mabye *I'm* the one who just doesn't get it...

Stumbled across a kit car that is just crying out to have a 164S engine/transaxle slid into the engine bay  behind the seats...

Well, the hood treatment is a *bit* much, but overall... very light, could be a lot of fun.
