Find wrecked performance cars, put tiny engines in them, troll everybody. That wrecked Bugatti Veyron? Get it looking better aesthetically then put an ecoboost 4cyl in it. Go to a car show and get your troll on. A Lamborghini someone caught on fire? Take out the engine, paint over the scorch marks, put in an Iron Duke.

Basically building reverse sleepers, putting shite engines into duct-taped-back-together hypercars. Add fart cans to taste.

Conceptually, love it. Realistically, still really expensive! haha

Didn't we have this on NPOCP a few months ago? A 911 with a Corolla engine or something similarly ridiculous?

I'm thinking VW R32 eninge in a Ferrari 308 (not that it would be shitty.. but..)

I haven't kept up with NPoCP, but that sounds amazing.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage with a 1.2l VAG TDI engine.

VAG do have a 1.4 with 140bhp though... plenty enough for most of the guys that shop at Harrods :P

I'd prefer keeping them looking wrecked and swapping in a LSX.

Audi R8 with a 2.0 TDI! That would be great...

especially if it were Malone'd and had the DPF and EGR removed :D 180WHP and 310WTQ!

Because it's cheaper to find a shitty slusher V6 mustang and throw Cobra badges on it for the same effect.

My little brother used to take his 250k+ miles Grand Caravan with a straight pipe, stick on vents, cut springs, under glow (which was really just battery powered christmas lights), la cucaracha horn, mirror tint, spinner wheels, etc. to the local Mopar meets. Those guys hated him. He'd pull up slot between a Roadrunner and a pro-street Dart or whatever and you could just feel the venom shooting from the guys eyes.

Even worse, an Echo engine.
