Just sitting here in Sydney watching an old episode of Top gear. They've got the new C2 VTR, gauging the opinion of a load of folk at the Ace Cafe. One bloke piped up with a suggestion of putting another engine in the back and 4wd - any inspiration?

I think it's awesome.

I dont post here usually but had to say that is class. Ive had a C2 before and loved the look to be twin v6's is awesome. I noticed the gear lever is also cable, how did you get them to work together? I've tried using teleflex morse cables to the rear but just seems so unreliable and you can see when changing gear its not quite right. any light you can shine would be appreciated. Also im aiming for twin T2 turbos on the rear and nitrous on the front engine

Wouldn't both engines need to be the same (as near as makes no difference)? Different power deliveries front and back could be interesting...
