@Joel Roth posted:Thanks Lane. The mid-engine car is great. But for me, the extra space I am getting with the rear engine location was really important. But even if the mid-engine had the same extra space I would still pick the rear engine layout. I like the look of the interior with the rear seats better than the mid-engine layout with no rear seats.
Also, the rear engine layout allows you to open the rear engine lid and see an engine. Something I like. It is closer to the original in looks. Even though it is "rear engine", it is more forward than the original, and has a modern suspension, so it will handle far better. However, the mid-engine will handle even better because of the weight distribution. So if you are not too tall and plan on racing the car, the mid-engine would be a better choice. But since I am 6'2" and not really planning on racing, the rear engine car was a better choice for me. Comfort and looks were more important than handling for me.
So, like everything else in life it really comes down to personal choice. .
Your car is great. Having the first one is also extra special.
On the seats, Carey said the same thing as you. I am very torn between the two different styles. What do you think about the grommets and the headrests?
@Joel Roth have you sat on the seat? Once you do you will know. Also how your using the car can dictate how comfortable you need them to be 😎
