Supercharged 3.8 V6 mid engine Buggy
 

Donor car is a front wheel drive, 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix, supercharged 3.8 V6, automatic overdrive trans. What I plan is leaving the motor and trans mounted transversely to the subframe and building the buggy frame so the subframe with motor and trans bolt up to the rear of the buggy to make it mid engine and rear wheel drive. I already have the complete donor car with the supercharged 3.8. I'm already committed to building it as described with the automatic trans so don't try to suggest any changes in that area, please. I'm here to share this build with you all and am open to any and all help and ideas for the rest of the buggy. One area that is still up in the air is seating configuration. It's going to be a two seater but the part that's up in the air is side by side or inline seating. The thing is, if I do it inline, I want to do it with the drivers seat in the rear and call it "The E-Ticket". Who wants to be the first passenger?

You're insane!
(meant as a compliment) :-D

Taken as a compliment, but I think the truly insane one is the willing passenger. Don't you? Im just the enabler supplying the way to show how insane one is. I'm not gonna be in the front seat. I'm not crazy.

Picked up the donor car the other day. Its been sitting for about a year . I charged the battery last night and put a gallon of gas in it this morning and it fired right up so I drove it down the street to my friends and did a burnout in front of his house til the right front tire popped . I did some rough measuring and I figure it will be 6'-7' wide and about 10'-11' long and 6' tall on account of the drivers seat needing to be higher than the passenger seat for the driver to be able to see.

Oh this will be fun for sure...... By all means post progress.

I will definately be posting the progress along with pics and vids of passenger reactions.
