What car would you "build" for $40K

[Carbonfiberhooded]

Used GTR

[Motocrossx23]

Reliant Robin with an LS1 in it.

Also, I’d buy a corvette and swap a 1.8t motor in it.

[Wahoo]

Ls1 swap a Cadillac XLR.

[nitroinsane]

Rotary swapped swapped 4th gen fbody

20B FD RX-7, one of my dream cars that I’d love to own some day

S54 powered E30 M3 is always a fun idea.

I know it sounds stupid but I’d build my Fox Mustang. I’ve always been a fan of old cars with newer factory parts/tech, so a Coyote/6speed drivetrain would be match up with the current IRS. Would stretch the wheelbase 5" by moving the front wheel forward to help get a 50/50 weight distribution. Gut the horrendous interior and go ground up in there. End goal would be a tight daily driver void of the squeeks/rattles/bullshit that plagues 70’s chassis cars. I just want to enjoy driving this car again.

The other one would be the '55 Chevy. The first ‘build’ was too budget oriented (hence the LT1), and in the end the car doesn’t drive out as great as what an LS drivetrain sitting on a Roadster Shop Chassis would offer. This leaves about $5-10K to spend on some interior upgrades, and a proper set of wheels tucked nicely in the wheelwells.

I’m with this guy.
Old car and new tech.

I’d find a super clean low mile e30 m3 and call it a day.

[Wahoo]

build a chopper.

[lorge1989]

Quattro 4BT MK2 VW GTI or an 8.8 to make it stupider.

Also a factory five car would be killer.

nasty VR6 coupe quattro would be nice.

Build your own car.

Mid engine tube chassis, with minimal body work and 315’s all the way around.

[theblue]

like the one from F&F 6, so he can go out and flip cars on zee highway?

[BREETIME]

Honestly, what the fuck else would you do with a tube chassis car?
