I've mentioned this car a couple of times over the last few months in threads about longitudinal transaxles but can't find it...I'm not even 100% sure that last time I saw it was on the latest version of the forums. It's sort of a can-am-looking open-top car with an LS engine going directly into a Corvette transaxle. Blue and white IIRC, the Rides entry had a pic of it in a garage and another on track. The guy who owned it didn't post much. Anyone know what I'm talking about? If it is still on this board, it would've been one of the earlier rides posted on here.

Superlite cars makes a vehicle that uses a drivetrain like you are describing.  They call it the LMP1.  Found a built with a picture for you;

Not the exact car I was looking for, but it's very similar so that's helpful for demonstrating the length of the powertrain, thanks.

Years ago he had a build thread over on the locostusa  site. In the nontraditional section.

Apparently he calls it the "Corv-Am"
