    Maybe a F1 engine in a Miata.

    Hot Rod Magazine recently put a 5 liter V8 in a Ford Focus and converted it to rear drive, it looked stock from the outside also.

    I saw that, it was a 500hp V8. And yes, the car looked stock from the outside.

    Imagine that little focus reving harder than a Mustang Cobra

    I'd see if it would be possible to shoehorn a tailored version of Wally Larson's twin-supercharged 2000+ horsepower Lexus V8 into the middle of a circa 1990 Mazda 323. Naturally, a RWD conversion would be completely necessary.

    Would you consider putting a 1500HP turbine engine into a go-kart ?

    Common-sense may suggest no.

    Not for this guy ......

    But if you watch the video at the end, then maybe he's reconsidering it while he recovers

That thing would be killer.

    if you want a RWD then you dont want a crown vic, ive heard theyre bloody awful. my choice would be either a BA Falcon or Fairlane, more than likely the Fairlane as its easily the stiffest body to come out of Australia

    last summer, some guy brought one to a auto-x event. all he did was smoke them tires.

    i would like to see a 2jz or some other turboed-or non- high hp engine in the back of a hatch, like an eclipse or metro etc.

    If I lived in Australia, then I would have a lot more choices for a full size, rear wheel drive sedan, but in America all we have is the Crown Vic, although now the CTS is rear wheel drive too now that I think of it.....

    well the CTS-V is probably a good choice, heaps of people like them so they cant be all that bad. i think theyre a fiar bit smaller than a crown vic though, if that might be a problem

    just for fun, I'd take a renault 5 and stuff Zonda's AMG engine in it for RR.

    realistically, I'd take a RX-7's engine and mount it in the rear cabin of a Mini Cooper, making it MR
