Interesting topic Erik.  I'm not familiar with the Spyder rear
suspension, please tell me more about it.
Also, there is a 230 hp, BDC engine, Caterham 7 in Ft. Worth.  I realize
it's a different beast but would there be value in knowing if it has
driveability or overheating issues?  Would the short stroke, engine
you're planning have a less radical cam and be more driveable?  By the
way, how difficult is it to come by a 2 liter aluminum block?
As to FWD/RWD.  It's good for that discussion to be banned for a while. 
It's an agree to disagree topic with no resolution.  As for being "a far
better world with them gone", I'm not so sure.  I would rather not
exclude any Lotus enthusiasts.  You never know, we might get some
Chapman era converts.
