Re: RCR's Next car should be.....

The RCR mid engine cars are affordable works of engineering genius. However for sheer driving pleasure it is hard to beat a front engine sports car with a nice spacious and easy to enter interior. I know that the type imposes additional engineering challenges, but I believe RCR is up to the task.

That said, there is only one: The 250 GTO. People who have driven one say that it was the most intense experience behind the wheel that they ever had. And they say it with a grin!

People love them and want them. They would sell, I think. As for engine and trans, I bet that it would be possible to "separate" the engine and trans out of a wrecked 348, connect them with a torque tube, and there you have it: a real Ferrari engine connected to a real Ferrari transaxle just like the real thing, only about 1/50 of the price, and reliable enough to drive daily. Of course one could always put in some cost effective American iron and save a bundle.
