Thanks!
What a neat article! Very interesting to know that back story.
Personally though, I think I'm all done with mid-engine cars. My little '92 MR2 was downright scary to drive hard, especially in the damp. It just had so little margin for error, and it sounds like that's just typical of the engine layout. My buddy had the same problem with a modified X1-9 that he used to auto-x.
I'm really convinced that what makes a car fun to drive isn't how well it sticks to the road, or how fast it goes, but rather, how consistent it performs at the limit. I'd rather be able to drift a car with reckless abandon without going into a spin. So far, only the FR-S and my little 2000lb Fiat on new suspension and tires could do that. Those mid-engine cars sure do look good though...
