Unless your car has 2 steering wheels, one in front of each front seat, and two sets of pedals, doesn't that make it asymmetrical?

Or a central driving position

I hope these cars you speak of also have an exhaust on either side at the rear.

I was going to mention the F1 but that probably doesn't fit the criteria

iirc it;s rear suspension torsion bars positioned behind on behind another but with equal length arms to the hubs ... meaning the hub of the wheel on the rearmost torsion bar is severla inches further back than the other

That's how I understand it, or something along those lines.

I tried telling my cousin's son (my second cousin?) about how the wheelbase was different side to side and he couldn't believe that they did that. It was fun proving it to him.

Not unless the cylinders are in a straight line and it has 2 throttle pedals :-)

That would only work if it had intake and exhaust ports on both sides of the cylinder head
