Personally I would have made it a turbo mid engine RWD, and been done with it. I would think the extra weight of the 2nd engine would make the handling suck.... (I'm not saying for sure is does suck, but it just seams like it would) Being mid engine RWD would help the handling by moving the weight into the middle rather then in the front IMO...
I agree that it should prove to be interesting and i won't know until i bring it to the track. But the cars weight is nearly 50/50 with the rear end being ever slightly more. Remember i can run more power to the rear wheels if i wanted to to make it more RWD. I just have to turn up the boost...

Only time will tell. I've started my maxima project in the mean time :)
