I've seen a mini with a 12A street port, but it was converted to RWD

First time I saw it I thought "what the F**k" then I saw the engine bay.

I wonder how he fitted the tranny and driveshaft down the center of the car. I'm guessing he had to modify some of the interior, firewall and flooring to make it fit. Sounds cool though, too bad you don't have any pics.

Oh, its true they do weigh under 1500lbs. They are almost literally a go-kart with a roof.
...sorry I should have made myself clear, I meant the car will not weight 1500lbs with the rew in it

I gotcha. Will be pretty close though. At an average of 1300lbs you would have an extra 200lbs before you went over 1500lbs.
