What a cool idea. And also as you guys know, the original "Mustang 1" concept of the early 60s was mid-engine, the late 60s-early 70s "Mach 2" concept was mid-engine (and another Shinoda design IIRC), and the 90s Mach 3 concept as well.
So this idea has some real heritage going for it.
Keep us updated on progress!
