Your ultimate bastard vehicle

[Shaolin Crane]

Any car, any power plant. What would you mix? There are plenty of cool vehicles with less then stellar engines. Hot rodding has been bastardizing cars for a long time now, how would you do it?

My ultimate bastard vehicle would be a gunmetal nsx with an LS7.

There's a bunch probably. But your choice would probably be my No. 1 as well actually. The NSX is a brilliant platform, and the engine wasn't bad (cutting edge in its day), but it's limp compared to what's available now.

Its a civic motor, and is the only thing keeping that car from being an absolute monster.

That's a good choice. These are some of the ones I've thought about. Obviously these are not my ultimate choice but ones I've wanted to build over the years.

1970-72 Vega GT with an LS3 built for the road course.

1976 Mercury Capri Hatchback with a centrifugal blown 331 SBF also built for the road course.

1970-1971 Ford Maveric with a cetrifugal blown 393 SBF again built for the road course.

[Vettezuki]

I have a bunch of them actually. Here's another one. Old 240z with a BMW 5.0 V10 (a la M5).

I like that Datsun. Thats one of the cars Id actually like to build.

No such thing as a V6 civic. But whatever it was that motor wasn't cutting edge. It was a faggy 270hp. I jerk off with more torque than that.

I'll take an LS9 & T56 in a Solstice with a factory warranty! Thaaanks. Oh ya, I'd color match the headlights too.

I am also very much a fan of putting a Cobra engine with a Mendeola in the back of a Ranger with long travel control arm suspension. I would lovvve to do a wheelie in a prerunner at an intersection.

Not a Ranger, but I wouldn't complain.

Single turbo 2JZ in an S2000, or the classic LS in an RX7 will also blow my skirt up.

[Shaolin Crane]

You aint gonna do a wheelie at any street light. Just not gonna happen.

[Vettezuki]

Almost forgot. I've always kinda wanted a Studebaker Starliner. Black with Scarlet red interior, nice stereo and a good ride. Don't need a whole lotta power, something a little more refined and smooth like a northstar or maybe Coyote

NSX drivetrain is essentially lifted straight from an accord. Engine may be midmounted, but its even transverse. Nice car, terrible drivetrain.

[Shaolin Crane]

I'd also like a mustang with a diesel

[Sonic03SVT]

Id like a Pantera with a new 5.0, or a 69 Boss 302 with a termi drivetrain. Think that would be amazing.

[mustangray]

I've seen a few Panteras with 4.6 SVT motors in them Ive even seen a couple with Ford GT drive trains (5.4 SC motors and transaxle)

[enkeivette]

You aint gonna do a wheelie at any street light. Just not gonna happen.

With 15" tires, low pressure, a locker, high axle gears, 800hp, and the engine in the rear... how could you not do a wheelie?

If a sand rail can do it in the sand with the same weight distribution and set up, I can do it on the street. :D

I guess you could go Northstar setup. But for that much effort and cutting, I'd def just go with a kit car.

Looks like a fat girl sat on the front of a Bel Air.

Did Vin Diesel tell you so? It's no gonna do it on the street, it happens on the sand with monster paddle tires and nearly 80% of that tire i buried in the sand, much more tire contact then on the street. But you're welcome yo try to prove me wrong, i'd love to see it.

I dream some day I will drop a LS7 and six speed in my 240Z that is in my garage some day.

To the legally blind I suppose.

[enkeivette]

Money willing I intend to. :beer:

Just find me one of those Mendeolas for less than $5K :o

[Jammer89]

I had a ls powered sandrail in here last year that DID pull tire on the street. :)

[Shaolin Crane]

Pics or it didnt happen, and slightly pulling a tire and a wheelie is 2 different categories, adam wants to pull a Vin Diesel.

[enkeivette]

Slightly pulling tire? C'mon Guy. Sounds like you just got told, own it.

Jammer - Hells Yeah.

[Shaolin Crane]

I didnt get told, A tire is not a wheelie.

Here is pulling A tire, is this a wheelie?

I would like to daily drive a Lincoln LS with a Terminator or Coyote engine and a 6-speed... saw someone who did a LSx in a Lincoln LS, but would be cool to see a swap done within the family.

I'd also love to have a resto-mod g-body (preferrably a Regal) with an LS7, 6 piston brakes, nice looking wheels, and a good suspension setup.

A late 70's Ford F-150 with a coyote engine dropped w/ some suspension goodies.
