I remember reading about those cars a long time ago. I've thought many times about the possibility of creating a mid engine car by using a FWD power train.
Pretty cool little car! I thought the SHO Taurus I test drove way back was decently quick, I cant really grasp that engine in another car with half the weight... I liked that engine, but I was told parts were few and far between. Good thing Jays is "bullet proof!"
