With an adaptor kit.

Chevy engine + Porsche transaxle is fairly common among the midengine kit cars that are making big power (lesser powered cars will often use the Pontiac Fiero transaxle and point the engine sideways).

add roll cage, 5pt harness, and a helmet,take it up to about as fast as it can go and cut the wheel as hard as you can and see how many times you can roll it over.

Very common. the Porsche 915 transaxle is routinely used behind a Chevy V8 in kit kars and specialty cars like sand rails and some race cars, and in V8 Porsche conversions in the 914 and 911. A number of companies make the adaptors.

He said that a lot of people ask "what is that?"

I am asking, "what the F*** is that" and "what the f*** was he thinking when he bought it". The worst part is: PEOPLE ARE BIDDING ON IT!!!

Maybe we should all pitc in some money, buy it, and make it our mascot. Or maybe adopt it like you do one of those kids you see on TV. Or, maybe we should just put it out of it's mercy like you would an artficialy created mutant freak.
