If you have to ask what the point is, you definitely do NOT get it.

Cuz they have the money to do it?
If I had a shit-ton of money, I'd have a ~2750 lb. 650hp McLaren F1. I do not, so instead I own a ~2850 lb. 525hp FD RX-7 for about 2.5% of the $$$

So they can laugh at people that actually would build the car how the aftermarket supplied for it.
The aftermarket supplies parts for a lot of domestic V8 swaps into imports. So my car *is* built based on what the aftermarket has supplied for it.

Quote:
Its stupid and nonsense to be a douche to the actual people who know the car and how to build it for what it was intended for.
Why would anyone build a car to someone else's wants? That's absurd!

My car was certainly not built "to be a douche" to anyone, but if people wanna hate it, I can live with that. If you ask me, the "stupid and nonsense" is on anyone who expects that others should only build up cars exactly as they would.

That is why YOU don't get what im saying and why people call cars disgraces's due to the fact of someone putting a ridiculous motor in a physically decent if not perfect car for what reason??
To go fast, reliably, with minimum weight impact, and for minimum $$$.

Quote:
Because they can't afford to mod it with the aftermarket parts that are made specifically for this car?
Again, plenty of aftermarket parts made specifically to swap in domestic V8s.

Quote:
Or because they bought the WRONG car?
The *right* car often has the *wrong* engine in it!

Quote:
If you can afford a motor swap, you can afford to mod the original or updated version of the motor. Peace
Who are you to tell people how they should spend their money? In my case, no way I was sinking money into a rotary build...
