I've heard that the 3.0L SHO engine could fit in the CSVTs ...maybe transplate that and a turbo yo!

Shoot, I think I'm better off going with a lightning motor, and I'm going to graft an AWD system out of a porsche cayenne in there instead.

3.0L swap is a very popular upgrade around here...um, but I think you have to clear out some junk in the engine compartment & roll the inner fender wells 'cause it's soooo much bigger than the 2.5L. Um, yea...

How about 2 engines (Jag V12 preferrably, but the heavier the better), one powering the rear wheels and one powering the front wheels...
I don't have a bloody clue as to where the fuel bladder would fit, though (or the driver, for that fact).

Definitely a fully tubular suspension w/ custom widebody and rims. How about a roll cage as well painted t-red. That would be hotttt.

What's the first rule of thumb around here ... don't modify the car extensively till after it's paid off?

a mere technicality... My warranty's been off for 2 years now, so it's not like im hurting myself either way.
I dunno how much I still owe...probably somewhere between 4-5k.

Congrats Rick!
LOL @ training wheels.
Strip the car down, ship it over to Cosworth, let them put in a AWD system and a built up turbo Cossie motor with about 600 reliable hp and have the ultimate sleeeper.
