The longer wheelbase helps with stability at higher speeds.

Just like the new GT3.


If you have a Miata with two V8 engines that you use to tow your house - you might be a redneck.

Not asking why but rather how? isn't the back engine in the way of the front engine? IE how does the front engine connect to the wheels? maybe it's simply bolted to the front of the rear so you get a kind of tandem 16 OR Maybe it's the generator for when he's camping!!!!

The tractor pull things have an output shaft connect to the front of the crank of the engine behind it.
