Looks way cool inside but I don't like the front end. The painted grill and yellow headlight/foglight combo don't do it for me.

OK. Why make it a mid engine rwd, why not have the engine up front? Then it could be used in sedan racing? Also from a racers perspective, the pedal arrangment sucks balls. That whould be hella hard to heel-toe shift in that. Otherwise its cool.

first thing i noticed was the pedals, they are WAY apart

I can understand why the left it mid engine, since that is how the gt40 is, and that motor probably wouldnt fit in the front [Big Grin]

If you've got the skills, you don't need to push in the clutch to downshift. Left foot brake, right foot throttle to match RPMs [Big Grin]
