Too artsy, yes agreed. But you missed the point.

Look again: Cab over engine OVER THE BACK WHEELS, engine up front, like old dragster rail:

This is what Mazduece should do with his COE project.

Signed off on the new springs today. Not just because of how they look, but how they dance. Although they do look pretty good...

Can we take 2 feet out behind the engine and 2 feet in front as well? Then maybe we'd have something?...

Looks like the skirt is bolted on with five shiny bolts.

Fender skirts have some good aero advantages. I wonder why we haven't seen a resurgence? These two cars don't have a whole lot else in common...

I was thinking more of the manufacturers, for whom there is a real benefit to improved aero. You never know what those crazy kids will do next.

Although some of the hypermile guys are pretty creative.

Mazda is the lowest quality? Umm... methinks they're threatened by someone whose cars are raced more than their own.
