Its not nay saying, and Orville and Wilbur invented something that didn't exist.
RWD cars, that are good, exist. Spending time and money on a Contour to make it RWD is a waste because there already are RWD cars. Good ones.
Sure, you can do it. Heck, put a 16 cyl. Detroit Deisel in one. That would be cool. Put three engines in it, that would be cool. Put the engine in the rear too. That would be Porche cool. Put six axles on it, that would be cool. Make a contour into a monster truck.....
Why would you spend significant time and money on a car, hoping to make it a copy of something else that already exists. I like mods that nake the car better, faster, etc. But making it a RWD car is a waste. It's the $50,000 answer to the $25,000 question.
The only way it makes sense is if you are in the business of building and modding cars and chassis. Doing something like this would show your fabrication skills. Otherwise, why would you do it?
