    They were awesome, but weird. Ignition between the seats? Fan belts by the firewall? Why the hell not

    There were engineering reasons for those decisions. The ignition on the floor was because they found that the starter worked better/best when the ignition was positioned next to the transmission column. I don't remember why the fan belts were there, but it may have had to do with the rotation of the engine block.
