I'm not much on the TL's looks personally. I'm a HUGE fan of the TSX though. The TSX is a perfectly capable car, but I just wish it was RWD, because I think it would be even better if it was.

911 V8? I'm not sure I can believe you 100%. But regardless, that MR2 is very sweet and cute!

911 v8 he probably did a short block conversion. I've heard of that before. Look further back in the thread he posts pictures of his cars I really don't think that he's BS'n.

I've ridden in a 911 with a V8 small block.

i have to correct myself, the TL has a little less grip on the skid pad. oh and v8 911 are cool, so are v8 jag sedans(mid 70's and early 80's).

It is a common thing to see older 911s (70s and 80s examples) modded with small-block Chevys.

Jaguars, as stated, are also a popular platforms. There are so many XJSs around here with 350s in 'em.

This is correct, '70 911 with a small block V8. The V8 is currently out and getting a slight refreshing. Eats 911 turbos for breakfast.

A mean Chevy V8 would sound strange coming from the back of a 911...Kinda like if George Michael had Barry White's voice.

Oh, sorry! I thought you meant a new, factory 911 cuz your other cars are rather new. Didn't think of classic models.

Why would you want to have a lot of aftermarket support for a FWD sedan?

Well lookie here, another person that reads with his heart instead of his eyes.

I said "All kinds of FWD *CARS*...", not "All kinds of FWD Acuras..."

Big difference...

And while you're at it, cry me a freakin' river.
Do you guys realize you are arguing about FWD in a thread about the AWD RL?
