At least externally, it looks like there's room to move the front axle forward a good half foot. I guess engine/transaxle packaging was a more pressing concern then the possibility it might understeer like a rocket sled.

Rentals:
2000 Pontiac Montana: If I had to pick a car to drive on the Bonneville Salt Flats, this wouldn't be in the top thousand, but that's how it ended up. The one thing that sticks with me about it is that the gas pedal was incredibly light, it was difficult to hold my foot still enough to keep a constant speed.
2003 Ford Taurus: Very very boring. I was hoping for a Grand Prix or something, but this was all they had.
