This one may be hard to explain but let’s give it a try anyways. What you need to do is pick a dream vehicle! Then you need to pick one of that vehicle’s “direct” competitor’s engine, transmission, and driven wheels to swap into it. So maybe you decide to have a 911 GT3 RS with the Vantage GT8’s all natural 4.7L V8 making 440 hp and 361 lb-ft sitting in the rear but with a 6-speed manual. Or maybe you want the Vantage GT8 with a 500 hp and 338 lb-ft of torque producing atmospheric 4.0L H6 with a PDK 7-speed?

Either way you can only have one of your swapped cars, not both! So keep the vehicles new, fairly direct competitors, and as always...enjoy yo’selves!

*Swap as many vehicles as you like for your garage, as long as they are from different segments.

F12tdf’s innards in the Viper ACR, plus P Zero Trofeo R tires and a restyling as Alfa TZ4 Zagato. Because there are more Tier 1 super-exotics that need slaying.

Holden SSV wagon but with a heavily modified Barra Turbo and ZF from a Falcon XR6T. I’m thinking 650whp and 1200nm of torque.

I will replace the Holden badges with Ford ones. and the number plate will be TROLDU. I will unveil it at the Bathurst 1000

DC3 LS, will be perpetually replacing cars until the end of time > Wobbles the Mind 10/07/2016 at 00:01
