Engine layout =/= drivetrain layout :colbert:

Both my answers were about engine layout but the second one got lumped in with FR (because it implies an FR drivetrain anyway).

To be fair, I think my exact answer was front mid engined rwd.

And if we're counting regularly driven vehicles I've owned, its fwd. If its total vehicles I owned, its rwd. I figured the dd beaters would outnumber the funcars for most people. :(

I can think of at least three times someone asked MrChips about this question and wtf he meant by engine layout. I was one of them.

And I drat near busted teeth biting my lip at the time (all of those times in fact) but that would've tainted the result. A big part of the fun's in the interpretation of the question, and this is a prime example.

My actual answer was "Front" for both of them, ultimately I decided that engine layout meant location on the car.

I'd like to thank jerky, for being my friend on the long and lonesome road, a favorite of many people, and giving me a kidney stone 4 years ago.

The V8 Interceptor is a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe so there's at least two that should be grouped. The Interceptor has a XC Cobra based bodykit which is why I went for that as most people presume its actually an XC, not an XB

I agree, but 1 more point (or even 2 if we include the XC Cobra) won't make a difference in my final placing, so no biggy.

Edit: But if all three were grouped, SharkyTM would move into a tie for 2nd, 1 point behind the winner!
