however, as far as intercooling, we're more limited. most high-hp guys hack up the trunk and put a giant i/c core in there with fans, or they use a/w or meth injection to keep things cool.
EDIT: also, FMR is a silly made-up marketing moniker. it's just FR. i promise.

I think it has a legitimate place in layout nomenclature. There will be a huge difference between the handling properties of this 'FMR' car vs a full FR car like a Supra that has a bunch of iron block sitting in front of the front axles.
