Hmm. Put a proper rear end on it and I'd be tempted.

Work in progress

I like the platform and where Rmagic took it. I'm trying to make it look more production.
Here is a loose attempt.

spooled: need bigger openings in that front bumper for proper airflow. This new 16X is gonna need lots of cold air.

It'd be cool if the 16x was eventually the engine that will be mated with a true MS8. I'd be thrilled if this engine can be tranplanted into the 8 relatively easily. I like my 8 and like 4 seats
