MR cobalt??
i see all the time people RWDing cobalts, but has anyone ever though of an MR set up. like ive though of AWDing it somehow, but now i wounder if this will work, basicly take the whole drivetrain and cradle to the back of the car, somehow mount it there take out the steering rack mount the steering nuckles soild in rear, put new subframe and suspension on front with steering rack, and raceing fuel tank to front and run all your cooling and turbo pipeing to front bam MR cobalt. ???
