Thanks,

Too bad I can't go back in time and un-do those posts because it was never my intention to derail this thread - in fact, quite the opposite - the intention was to help drive it forward. Apologies again to Mark and everyone for having inadvertently done so. In retrospect, in our company too, it's lockdown mode when someone outside ventures into IP...

However, maybe in some small way those posts will stimulate thought for progress.

Best,

A mid engine car would be faster. If I put my engine in a AWD mid engine car it would be faster. If I put my engine in a ZR-1 it would be faster. Just simple physics.

New or mid engine cars have better areo, CG, weight distribution.....

I'm not sure what question your asking.

Hi Mark,

Okay since where talking all this stuff that is way over my knowledge base. What are you thoughts on the new front wheel drive race car that just built and are taking to Le Mans.

Mark, where did you hide the GPS antenna for the Dash2? Did you have any problems getting GPS lock with that location?

Thanks!

Mark,

I'm very relieved and pleased to see that I was in fact wrong. I wasn't really asking any question, but just suggesting, by highlighting the physics, that given all of the ambitious and impressive things you've already done with Camaros, that rather than switch to a platform better suited to mid-engine, you might in fact try the close-to-impossible and make a 1st-gen Camaro that's mid-engine.

Thanks,

I put it on the dash. Works great. It links up on key up in about 30 seconds.
