True Mid Engine 280Z

I've pushed the 2JZ back 16" to improve overall vehicle dynamics. Benefits include:




Lower PMOI will allow vehicle to rotate more easily.
Increased weight on rear tires will help traction.
Reduced driveshaft length. (weight savings)
Reduced exhaust length. (weight savings)
Fuel Cell up front with very short fuel lines. (weight savings, gravity feed pumps)
Ducting radiator and intercooler airflow over top of car. (improved cooling and aerodynamics)
Rear Diffuser like shown below (improved aero)
