Sure. Just make sure the first accessories you buy for it are a chainsaw and crowbar

 

The pedals are there. They aer mounted from above.





And i would also think with that much of a staggered wheel setup there would be a huge understeering problem, but there are other ways to get around that...

 

Mid-emgined cars, and especially ones that light don't need wide front wheels.

the staggered setup is because the motor is in the back, you always want wider wheels under the heavier section of car in racing. Rear engine wider rear tires...like a formula car. In those pics you can tell the car isn't quite completed, looks to be missing a pedal and some of the cable linkage to the rear isn't connected

got boost?

 

[quote name='BrandonDrecksage' date='Jul 22 2005, 06:41 PM']the staggered withd of the wheels is because of the extreme power. it'll make the car oversteer less because the rear wheels will have a bigger contact patch..of vice versa...the front wheel will loose traction first and cause understeer because of the smaller contact patch. basically...to probably keep a neutral handling feel.

I understand staggered wheel setups. I was refering to the 8.8" width and 11.25" width. Why not just go to a 9" in the front and a 11.5" out back? Why the wierd *** widths?

 

cause they can, and i want one. If only i was rich. but im not and thats why i drive an fc
