Rear engine one.... and when I say Ferrari Engine, I mean the Formula One kind.... no dumbed down street version. Convertible of course, you want the raw feeling of speed. Crash helmet needed... you may ask ? Yes, but only to avoid a bug hitting your eyes at better than 250 mph, as if you crash, there is no helmet that will save you, other than displaying your head as a sample of the effects of hitting a guard rail at fast speeds.... <g> Enjoy the ride... p.s. I knew a guy that put a real Cosworth Formula 3 engine in a little Ford Escort.... then he would drive at the traffic lights alongside the menacing Porsche Carreras, Ferraris or the like, and "revv" it up a bit.... the macho man, would simply smile and "revv" up his engine in return, as a sign that he had accepted the challenge..... Then as the light would turn green, Hector, (that was his name), would let the powerful Cosworth do its thing at full blast, zooooom, and leave the Porsche almost as if standing still.... the surprised faces of the Porsche/Ferrari drivers could not give credit as the little Escort would smoke them in no time at all.... A great sight....
