No ****, Sherlock. Way to pick up on that.
Guess where the engine is? Could it possibly be in the rear, making it a "Rear mount"?!
Dur, dee, dur.

The TT z06 Vengeance did with rear mounts where fuel tank is is just nasty.

With the same sized turbo, a front mount will ALWAYS spool quicker than a rear mount... Simple physics... more pipe= more lag.

Recognized that vette as soon as I saw the picture. Mike Fleener. Lives in Lake Jackson. They used to call him Miata Mike cause he was destroying everyone with his Miata and it was fast as ****. I think he sold it to some kid here in town that has a VW and silver camaro lt1 that used to roll with us.
LMR Built it.

I was just reading along, lurking, and am now getting funny looks and scowls from coworkers from laughing aloud.

There were posts about rear mount cars in the 6s. I don't know why you're getting a hard-on for a 1500rwhp street car.
