soundzero, where is your source?

you say "automotive world" who is that?

many car mags refer to the location of the engine relative to the axles to determine whether it is mid engine, NOT THE LOCATION RELATIVE TO THE DRIVER.

according to your logic, the NSX is rear engined. tell me, what differentiates a rear engine and a mid engine according to your definition? Oh, is it the location relative to the axle? ding ding ding ding!

I bet Z cars could make you a 4WD S2000 if you payed them enough. They are currently building a 4WD twin engined Ultima for some guy.

It's actually called "Front Mid" in the S2000 configuration, the entire engine is behind the front axle.

This is going no where. If you want an AWD car get an Evo/Sti. Anything is possible with money but what's the point
