Many sports cars/performance cars are made with a similar offset ( Including original Cobras).
It helps get all of the "cross weights" correct.
It assumes that in high performance situations there will be one driver/no passenger...and it makes a much better balance race car.
Don't worry...it doesn't mean it's not safe with two people on board.

I didn't know the originals were offset. Learning something every day about these cars. ERA definitely offset the drivetrain to the passenger side.
