Only difficulty with this...is finding decent, affordable transaxles that can take decent power...and offer sensible gearing. Most seem to be rated for around 5-600hp at best although some will probably take more than that depending on actual usage.

IMO, it would be worth considering adapting the GTR box for mid/rwd only.

I know I've thought about it !
