[Mike Drew]

Yup, this stemmed from the original Hemisfear project:

Coincidentally, Foose lived across the street from Lloyd Butfoy so the use of a new RBT ZF was a natural....

     From the side profile of the car and where the seat line is it is
   hard
     to believe there is a V8 and ZF shoehorned behind the driver. Chip
   did
     an awesome job with the lines of the car masking a mid engine and
     although I recall seeing photos of the car previously, never for one
     minute did it cross my mind it was anything other than another front
     engine coupe. Quite the design and engineering feat, I have to
     wonder how it drives!
