Don't mean to hijack, but this is a related question for EvilC.

Given the mid-engine layout that VWBloodline is proposing, where do you think the battery should end up?

And then, given my engine location 900lbs front/1300lbs rear with me in it (260lbs ) where do you think would be the best place for mine? My engine layout is identical to a Lotus Elise and the battery is currently where the windscreen washer bottle would be behind the spare, and I've recently moved it to the floor of the spare tire well as an optional location.

If VWBloodlines proposal works out, his weight should be distributed more forward of what I have and I think that may get it close to 50/50.
