Anything goes. What car + what engine?

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Anything goes. What car + what engine?

Post by Yossarian » Sat Sep 13, 2008 11:28 pm

Simple. Money is no object.

What car would you put what engine in?

Example:

Volvo 480 + XJS V12.

Or:

Mk1 MR2 + Camry V6.

Or:

Saab 9000 + Chevvy 5.7 V8.

Go!

Hopefully for 2009 - 1.7 Turbo.

Money no object, I'd have to say Ferrari F40 with F430 engine. And some carbon brakes, cuz even with its own engine they are apparently not quite as good as they should have been.

More down to earth, I would just like to drive a 480 again. Any at all, really.. :cry:

Another nice one:
Mercedes-Benz W115 or W123 +OM646 (220CDI stock 150hp, chipped 180hp) and a 5 speed automatic.

That would be something quite nice

Lol, you mean, pretty much how it SHOULD have been built!! :rofl:

Personally on this note, putting the Lister XJS 6 bored to 7 litre engine in, with the 4 wheel drive option for a change!

Lol, you could stick the engine into the back, but make sure you have a good roll cage, I can imagine you would need one with a lot of power on 3 wheels! ;)
