You would have to bring the wheels in some and stretch the fenders out so they would actually do what fenders are suppose to do.

Rooster tails are fun!

There is his more practical BRZ, the Hatch Back.

That is gorgeous

Could the 86 be made mid/rear engine? sure. Mosler Auto put a second northstar v8 in the rear of a Cadillac (3 actually), and kept the rear seating.

Sure. Toyota already got an I Go Crazy:

Surely 86 could go crazy as well. But what exactly is the point? To be like a Ferrari? Standard 86 is already as close to Ferrari California as the proposed mid-engine 86 would be to Ferrari Italia right?

Hm... while back maybe '09 I did all the targa, vert, fastback, hatch & MR 86... not sure where I posted. It's prob be in the pic section of the forum.

Same reason as any rear/mid engine car. Put the mass closer to the center of the car, and reduce the polar moment of inertia.

It's clearly a rally setup.
