    Can't believe nobody has posted one of the greatest front to mid-engine conversions of all time...

    MG Metro 6R4

    Before:




    After:















    They ended up turning into a production car building 200 of them for homologation purposes to run Group B rally. Then another 20 with over 400hp. The same goes for the Renault R5 Turbo 2 and Peugeot 205 T16. Both were also FWD econoboxes converted to mid-engine for rally...then they produced 200 to make them legal.

    Cool thread but it's kind of dumb. Half of these weren't converted, they're tube frame....

    That's still a drive-train conversion dork.

    The FWD/RWD/AWD debate is stupid. Put it this way:

    Say you have three cars of the same chassis and design, but each of them has a different drivetrain setup - fwd, rwd, and awd. If you were in neutral at speed and went into a corner, they would all have the same characteristics. Now with it actually in gear, you just have to change your driving style.

    In the end it is simply preference.
