Hmmm... You have me thinking as well here... I have seen two successful
cars with twin- engine/trans setups... One was a twin-engine 1G DSM

The MAIN advantages of a twin-driveline setup:
- mild powered engines yield a large overall power output
- twin transmissions reduce wear and improve overall strengt
The current 3.8s have the same HP and torque as a stock 2.4 turbo 215/245.
