If you had to own a FWD car...

[Ray McCooney]

rob



but seriously,

pretty much in line w/ crowd so far..

if it's gotta be FWD, then it should be a good one.

Now that I think about it - it's the sort of car also available w/ AWD that I'd really like.

TT variant ('hate' how I like those)
Golf variant (r32)
then

MINI variant

also confessing toward Jap option going immediately to a nice Integra (damn reliability/balance of product!)

OH and my choices are

VW R32

Mini Cooper S

Was there some kind of loophole or exception for AWD cars that I missed in the introduction, as I could have sworn that the R32 was AWD?

Same generic responses for me:

New:
-Mazdaspeed3
-Turbocharged Mini Cooper S

Old:
-Intregra Type R
-Original Mini

There are a lot of great FWD cars missing from most people's lists IMHO.

Renault Megane Sport R26-F1
Renault Clio Williams
Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege
Mini GP
Honda Civic Type-R
Honda Accord Type-R
Nissan Sentra SE-R



Oh, and the VW stuff has got to go. Those older 80's VW are the worst pile's ever. I've never seen one run for than a few minutes without catching on fire.

[Bimmerista]

Mini Cooper S
Acura Legend GS Coupe
Acura TL-S
Acura Integra Type-R

Grassroots Motorsports had a super sicko honda powered old mini with carbon fiber everything exterior. Ill go out to the garage and find the issue....

Are you talking about that super bright green one with the superwidebody kit?

You guys are weird. You have an unlimited budget to make whatever you want and you would choose a current run of the mill production car like acura type tl type s, mini cooper s, vw gti, and mazda speed 3?
I expect more from r3v members. Like how about a vw pick up or lupo with a worked 1.9l tdi engine or an hpa twin turbo vr6? Or a old shool mini cooper with an audi 225hp 1.8t bored to 2.0 and with a twin turbo setup? That got to be good for at leat 500 whp. Plus whats the big deal with FSI. I still see better dyno #'s with the og 20v head.

[BeirBrennerE30]

top pick: VW corrado with twin turbo r32 engine. Stick that engine in the trunk using a porsche 993 rear subframe

2nd pick: VW MkII GTI with built 2.0t

[T3rd Ferguson]

the schimmel performance corrado (rear engine, rear wheel drive TT 3.0 VR6)




We've had a corrado and 84 GTI (bro's current DD) in the family
