If you had more resources in the areas of time and money, what vehicle creations would you build that you have floating around in your head.

Give the pros or reasons for why you would like to build it.

Examples:

I would really like to build an S13 240SX or an AE86 Corolla GT-S with an LS1 swap/ six speed, putting down 350-400whp for the road courses  
pros: about 2000lbs (AE86 vers.), nimble, rwd flickability/handling

Second, I have always wanted to build a car with a bike motor for the high rpm motor, and for the sequential dogbox  
Something like a Ford Festiva with a Hayabusa motor in the front and back, together they would put down as much as 350whp  
pros: about 1500 lbs (stripped), awd (sortof), high rpm to gear really low for multiplication  
cons: looking/being a fggt

I have what I want, I just need to put time into it to get it all together.

That and a driveshaft, but that’s trivial really.

Finish the '68 with a Terminator drivetrain and suspension swap, drown it in Highland Green paint. Then STI swap on the Legacy and turbo the Special.

Off the wall would be something like a Frogeye Sprite with 6-sp / VQ35 😃

This is my automotive dream project…to build the car I designed a few years back in college. Here’s the clay model, never mind the Buick branding, that was part of the assignment:

 ![http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/Buick.jpg](http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/deener50/Buick.jpg)

Here’s a rendering of how the body could be mated to a Factory Five chassis with an LSX drivetrain:) It’s been stretched a bit to fit…but I didn’t base the original design over this chassis. I’ve looked into this quite heavily and figure for about $30K it could be done.
