When Jamie Thomas was storing her 2 Subaru 360s at my shop Mike Leonard and I got the good one running and drove it up the road. OMG, I never feared for my life more driving 30 mph! What a horrible, horrible car. It's no wonder they dumped dozens of them in the ocean when they couldn't sell them in the U.S.

Still, imagine a LeMons car with a WRX engine & tranny mid engine...
Trouble is, the front suspension and steering is no more elaborate than a child's pedal car so you would have to do something about that.

Doivi,

yeah, thats the magic of LeMons, other than hillclimbs (I wish I could find one around here) where you can bring a freaky prototype, which is just about maximum pants-on fun. What ever happened to everyone's big talk about building a rally golf with the engine in the back/rwd (white trash R5)? Not that its a very good idea, and it would likely be scary as hell, but FUN FUN FUN!
