i have a cad program on my computer and i was messing around with putting
different engine/driveline combo's in my cadvan, and the one i thought had
the most promise(the coolest by my standpoint) was this one.
engine: volkswagen w-12 longitudinally mounted(as a mid-engine)
sitting between the middle and rear seats
tranny: porsche sequential tranny(gear shifter would still be stock
4-speed floor shifter but adapted to sequential)
fuel cell: like on c5 corvette two 20 gallon "side pods" with a center
output and stock input
electrical: 2 separate wiring harnesses one for engine and one for rest of
van/audio equipment
body: bmw racing fender skirts housing 19" wheels in rear and 17"
wheels up front(like the nsx for most rotational stability)
well now y'all know i really have too much free time here at college.
peace. out.
