That does look pretty good actually! I'm gonna add that to the list and then run that list by Rick to see which ones he can do then I'll post a poll as to which car to do. I guess a porche wouldn't be a sleeper but most people wouldn't expect them to be running a 700 rwhp V-8.

I think the MG is a good idea. My aunt had a red MG Midget convertible and she let us keep it at our house for a while. My dad used to take me to school in it and it was cool as hell.
Plenty of leg room in those things. My dad is 6'2" and around 300lbs.

I say go MG all the way. porsche is known for being fast and the mg would save you a lot of money.. Plus they are front engine rear wheel.

Heres the engine compartment.

Lofty expectations huh?? Lol.
Whatever comes cheapest I guess, don't care if they are in pieces or a project car...it's what it's gonna be anyways!!

My dad had a MGB several years ago, it was a pretty fun nibble car. The only draw back was the fact that it uses backwards wiring...... So if you wanted to use that type of car you would have to completely rewire it....

similar to this 77 but it was blue

I was thinking about those but the conversion to RWD would cost an arm and a leg.

I think the Porsche is being out on the back burner for the fact that I'm not in a mood to spend another 20K at this point. I think N/A 5.7L in an MG would be more than enough, even if I tub the back a bit.

How about a Delorian(sp?) or a Peugot? My buddy drives a Peugot and that would be a motha ******' sleeper.
