	MR layout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contrast to the rear-engined RR layout, the center of mass of the engine is in front of the rear axle.
		This layout is typically chosen for its low polar inertia and relatively favorable weight distribution (the heaviest component is near the center of the car, making the main component of its moment of inertia relatively low).
		In modern racing cars, MR is the usual configuration and is usually synonymous with "rear engine".

	Mid-engine design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mid-mounted engine describes the placement of an automobile engine between the centerline of the rear and front axles.
		This configuration is known as a mid-engine, rear-drive An engine placed in front of the driver's compartment but fully behind the front axle line also meets the definition of a mid-engine.
		Mid-engine designs are usually used in sports or racing cars, as the engine placement provides a low polar moment of inertia by keeping most of the mass close to the center of the vehicle.

		These mid engine plates also permit an easy way to mount a different engine than what may have come in the car or truck you are working on.
		Mid plates open up a wide number of choices of engine types that can be installed in your vehicle.
		The thicker aluminum mid mount plates require that spacers or washers be used where the flexplate mounts to the converter or the tabs on the converter can be made thicker by most converter manufacturers.

	Mid Engine handling dynamics...what do you know? - FerrariChat.com
		Mid engine cars are especially finiky, after they are over the edge you need to WORK to get the car back under control.
		A mid engine car should be more naturally neutral and is usually designed with a little understeer; a push.
		In the modern mid engined Ferraris when you lose traction you have to be careful for there is a lot more power and that is the bigger problem.

	CycleForums - Why is mid engine so great?
		The engines were much easier to work on, and the only real downside was if the transmission died, or the clutch needed replacement.
		mid engine is good, but steering is not as good(understeer), slick pavement can make it throttle off oversteer.
		However, most mid or rear-engine cars do not have 50/50 distribution, and the weight in the back contributes to momentum.......meaning that the rear end wants to keep going straight when you want to turn.

		Dave McL in "Corvettes from the Inside" appears to be a Mid Rear man. He claims that GM ran some studies showing that the Mid Rear design would be 100 lbs lighter than the equivalent mid front.

	[No title]
		But to gain appreciation for what Pontiac engineering "magic" has accomplished, you first have to understand what the Fiero concept started out to be.
		Pontiac engineers wanted Fiero to have an extremely strong chassis structure, but they needed to avoid any excess weight that would negatively affect fuel economy.
		Pontiac engineers knew that in order to achieve this handling goal, the heavy mass of the engine/drivetrain unit had to be placed as close to the center of the car as possible.

	Mid-Engine Transaxle Selection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Since the original McLaren M6B-GT utilized a racing version of the common Chevrolet V8 and that stock engine is readily availabe throughout the US at a relatively low cost, it follows that it is the perfect starting point for a V8 modification for the M6B-GT replica.
		While visibly elegant, the Toronado/Eldorado setup is not technically a mid-engine modification for the McLaren replica since the engine sits over the axle instead of in front of it.
		The Chevrolet engine water pump and belt driven accesories must be repositioned to clear the firewall.

	Is a mid-engine car one where the engine is between the front and rear axles? If so then can there be a rear mid-engine ...
		However many people argue that the term applies strictly to those vehicles that place the engine behind the passenger compartment but in front of the rear axle, possibly because most mid-engine cars are laid out thusly.
		There are cars with "Mid-front" engines that have the engine moved rearward for better weight distribution.
		The engine was oriented longitudinally, rather than transversely, with the gearbox / differential unit in front of the engine.

	SCCAForums.com - how to drive a mid engine
		In an effort to prevent oversteer under any conditions, GM "tuned" the Fiero to understeer, especially in extreme situations, and left foot braking certainly qualifies as extreme.
		Mid engine is the "right" configuration so the prime goal should be tuning/modifying the car to handle properly :-).
		Lots of mid engine drivers left foot brake (Michael Schumacher for one) so I'm sure it isn't the real problem (I'm too uncoordinated to have learned to lfb).
