The GTM is actually pretty close, sans the wide flares and side intakes. The honda engine is pretty narrow and would also allow the passenger compartment to be further back.
Looking at the K-1 racing cars, those look awesome and despite a few things are pretty close. I'll take a roller please
My plan was to top mount the radiator almost horizontally and scavenge some air from the "channel" and route it the the radiator and out a grillework below the rear window.

The problem is with most of these cars, is that they are designed to provide alot of downforce for racing, but will probably be heavier at speed than not in motion. For a balance of mpg and safety, I think you have to have a _____# car that weighs the same on each wheel at 100mph as it does sitting in a parking lot.
