also, the idea of a rear mounted trans is really cool but not really needed at this time. the Z34 is pretty close to a 50/50 weight balance. most of the weight at the front is behind the front wheels and the majority of the weight in the back of the car is focused near the rear axle so i don't think they can justify the extra cost of making a transaxle vs using the traditional transmission and differential setup that it currently has.
No prob. If they can achieve the balance without moving the tranny, that would be good. But i like it for many reasons

Easier to improve the car dynamics. Also gives you alot more room in that bay area to work.

oh yea, there's definitely no argument there. i just think the bean counters (unfortunately) will keep it from happening.
