maybe re-create a few of my uncles creations?
Ford Thames van with a mustang V8 mounted in the back.
Zodiac with a jaguar E-type V12
Hilman Imp with a V8 (which ripped it in half somehow )
Twin Engined motorbike (fitted along the length of the bike)
Hehe I agree totally that you could buy something for less and make roughtly the same performance, but you would be looking at older 80's 90's vehicles where the Dodge is 04-05 for only a little bit more, why wouldn't you want a car thats 10 years newer? =P Yes the car handles like a dream, you can overwhelm the fronts at times but you have to be trying. The ACR has the exact same performance as the same year BoxterS which is over 40kpounds. For another 2k pounds you would have a car on par with the Viper.
230HP and 250Ft-lbs factory. The new Mazda 3 makes 260HP or so and gobs of torque but their car weighs over 3,000 giving it a low 6 second 0-60. The next generation of my car comes with VVT and a 300HP solid ali 2.4 on the new caliber chassis, anyone else see a new competitor in WRC sometime soon? The caliber already has AWD off the factory line so who knows =)
Srry back on topic:
For a cheap car to beef up, aren't cosies cheap to build up? You could follow everyone else and rice up a civic. MX-5's are good handling cars, but if you want HP I would stay away from them, the engines are great, but don't make a ton of HP, but with a car like that you wouldn't need any.
An old R32 might do. Personally I would see if I could find a Caterham if I was in your shoes.
im a very tall person , lasrt thing i need is a car ( which isve seenquiet a bit of since i work in a garage which servicesd mainly german cars ) which is small and wont handle speed very well
lmao you know over here a deawoo lanos 800 cc car is 5000 euro insurance . If id but a crappy srt-4 then id might aswell sell my house
also another not for guys , I dont drive jags or ford mustangs or anything with a v8 .
as i already stated im very erm " abstract " when it comes to cars hence why ima either but a pug 205 ( one of the best cars ever made , no t mechanicly of course but it outhandles everything )
or ill just but a AE85 corrolla and stich a cheap motor in it ( i wont drift it or waste the cars like that way )
Volvo 360, very underrated and you can get lot of custom work with it as there is absolutely none anything performance parts. Also you can do enough bodywork repairs because of rust that you won't have energy to make big wings or bumpers
Never ever buy FWD, those are creations of evil and greedy minds and all FWD cars should be crushed, also everyone ever thinking making FWD car should be put to mental hospital
Insurance for my car for a married 24 year old without a UK license is 700 pounds a year. With a license I would have insurance around 350 a year FYI =)
jeez im going to have garage insurance so the insurance company thinks im " tes t driving " the car for the garge i work ( or so the boss says ) but i had a look at a very intresting 205 last night , nearly road legal ( needs an nct which is the national car test ) its an ex rally car which i tought but its got an complete service history and alot of junior cup victorys so as far as im concerned its a bargin at 2500 euro
i work in a garage , when im not working im in there im in school so with the money ive saved and selling the other car i had i think ive got a enough .
if i cant drive it ill let my older brother use it , if not ill just bring it down to the estates and drive it there
