As title, did a little search and couldn't find much info here or google apart from other makes of car.

What I'm wondering (because I've had a bonkers moment that seems it's not going to leave) is if this is really as bad as some odd posts say they are. If done correctly, surely it would work well? After all, there's a good few converted mid engine'd hill climb, track and drag cars out there?

I've gist of what I've read seems to be that they are mostly a pile of poo because people have done it on a budget (clearly) and used front end stuff in the rear. If the suspension setup was fabricated correctly, it would be fine?

I think I have got to the end of how far to go with FWD (and there are several FWD cars with more power than mine) and before I spend a load more time and a load more money trying to improve what I've got, I'm exploring other options.

My train of thought has been to stick my engine in a Lotus, but the one I would want is at least £20k. Plus it's got the wrong badge, I'm Ford through and through and it's more of a challenge in my car. Don't get me wrong, it would be a better car being put in a Lotus but if I could end up with it performing somewhere towards a Lotus I think I would be happy.
