Agree, probably not the best placement for an EV "engine".

Could be a fun "sports" car but maybe not a great GT.

^^seems like an easier thing to do for an EV than an ICE car.

Would love to see this build. You should post it here when you do.

Googled a G16e for sale and one was sold in UK, not sure how recently, it was like 4K pounds.

The GR Corolla reveal was pretty impressive to watch, but doesn't sway me from pursuing purchase of a new BRZ. Pricing wasn't revealed, but my wild guess is maybe starting at ~$36k, with the Circuit edition above $40k.

G16 swaps have already started, why not, a tiny engine with massive power potential. And it sound more fun tha than a 4 cylinder

That green would be a pretty sweet option. Generally not a fan of black or red cars, and I've owned too many white cars previously.

I mean with the 86 you fall in and sort of roll out. Couldn't be easier.
Try a Corolla, easier then all 4 you listed.

I would like the opportunity to laugh my ass off at Nissan if the GR4 goes on sale before the Z.
