Actually I like it. The rear of a vehicle should either have an engine or a truck bed. This makes a 928 into a complete vehicle.

Regards

Would be the first pickup where you can drive down the road and watch your stuff at the same time!

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Seriously guys, this isn't the first 6 wheled sports car. F1 car's sued it in the 70's. Williams would use it today if they could, 4 in the back, two in the front.

Definately takes some time messing with springs and shocks, I've messed with 6 wheel cars in simulations, and finding a nice setup is a bit harder then 4 wheels.

Briggs & Stratton

Known primarily as makers of small air-cooled gasoline-powered engines, Briggs & Stratton commissioned the construction of an electric hybrid utilizing one of their engines. The base chassis was a Marathon C-360 van, which is clear when you see the unique 6-wheel layout. The custom body bore a strong resemblance to a station wagon, and the demonstration vehicle received considerable media attention in 1980. Briggs & Stratton claimed the vehicle was capable of travelling 85 miles on a gallon of gasoline. The vehicle is held by the Briggs & Stratton museum.

Cool, but those cars are just not racy enough. Here's mine. I figure I can carry more students around the track and my wife would probably prefer a four door anyway.

Not bad looking with four doors.
