Decently Realistic for Your Future Edition.
Operation: Restomod
I think an old British roadster like a Triumph Spitfire or Austin-Healey 3000, Motus' 180 hp, 100 cu in, FI OHV/2v V4 with offset firing order, and an S2000 transmission could be one of the most unique and rewarding builds. The shape of the car is timeless, the engine is in keeping close enough to the character (no LS swap here) with similar power but with a fun twist of Americana to it and releaving one's self of old British engine maintenance, and the S2000 transmission because, well, it feels the best.
I'd like a 2.5-16 Evo with a fully built F20 all motor setup and lots of carbon fiber and kevlar goodies to use as a fun weekend car/ occasionally track weapon.
Nash Metropolitan with mercedes om617 diesel bolted to the 3 on the tree with vintage air ac.

you know the healey was powered with a straight 6 right? thats where the 3000 bit comes from. the engine was from a car called the austin tasman. and there are better v6s you could have used instead of a v4 for ta 6 speed you could cave used a stronger gearbox like the t56 used in the viper. and come to think of it the v10 as well.

ya know the w124 is a heavy shell right? i had one. the 4 cylinder could barely lug it around. you need at least a 6 cylinder.
I just want a clean Mk3 Supra. I have no idea what it's like driving a high horsepower car on a regular basis, but I think I'd be happy if I did a JZ conversion with ~400 hp.

I like the idea oh having a fun little custom bullshit mobile to fuck around o
In and occasionally drive to go places
However with the way that gas is going, I don't think it would be possible by the time I would have enough money
Like I would just want to have one big ass Escalade I could drive to work and be all professional and shit, or like an S class
And then at home for shits and giggles like an old Porsche cayman(718)? swapped with the voodoo engine, maybe fuck around with the interior too I have the time and money and the car has old shit in it
