        I could have sworn SHOs were V6s but I could be wrong. Cadillac has done the FWD V8 thing quite a bit also.

              Oh yes.

              It would be so amazing. Built with absolutely no expense spared.

                If that were true, that Honda motor would be sitting behind the front seats.

                  Most SHO's were V6's. The later model (when the Taurus was redesigned and turned into a jellybean) was the only one with a V8.

                        My buddy had one of these, and that little thing amazed me! Strong 2nd choice behind the GTi MKIII VR6 my other buddy owns. Very few mods, but it's quick, has a great sound, and handles like it's on rails.

                            Corrados are hot shit, and probably easier to work on than my 164... Though the 164 has so far been the only FWD car that I've liked as far as handling.

                                1. You are giving up E30s and RWD cars altogether. Reasons are whatever.
                                2. Price is no object. It can be any car, as long as it's FWD.
                                3. It can be any year, make or model.
                                4. You can have 2 choices, but one has to be your favorite.

                                So with those stipulations, what would it be?

                                The runner up for me would be the 2007 Volkswagen GTi 2.0T. I hated the styling at first, but it really grew on me. And the 2.0T is a great engine, with tons of aftermarket support and mods.
