You get a two car garage. Both vehicles must have their engines mounted in front of the passenger compartment. One vehicle must be a 2015 model year or newer, the other must be a 1991 model year or earlier. The catch is that the vehicles swap engine, transmission, and driven wheels.

So if you chose a 2016 Nissan GTR Nismo and a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6, you will have a 600hp, AWD, DCT, TTV6 Chevelle and a RWD, Manual GTR with a 7.4L V8 hammering out 450hp and 500lb-ft.

And no, the vehicles do not trade brakes or tires!

Night Oppo!

Giving you a 4WD El Camino with crazy power and a Range Rover that’ll scare children with the exhaust note from an American V8

1970 BOSS 429 and a 2016 GT350 R. Imagine that nutty machine.

I do realize that the F12 will lose more, but if I was allowed modifications, the V12 from the GTO will be remade with current F1 tech and metallurgy to make equal power, and update the drivetrain, too.

Simple. A 1990 Skyline GTS-t

And a top spec 2016 Murano.

The Skyline gets a VQ, AWD, and because I’m a sadistic jerk, a CVT, while the Murano gets RWD, an RB20, and a 5-speed manual. You’d be the happiest soccer mom in the world! And the most efficient JDM bro, as the kicker.

2015 Civic Si and R32 GT-R. Civic loses a gear but gets boost, an extra 120 HP, and rear-biased AWD. The Skyline gets a 6th gear for better fuel mileage. Also, the Skyline keeps the stupid HICAS.

Don’t those Boss 429s make around 500 crank HP?

I’d swap the engine from a new S65 into a classic 600

1990 Yugo Cabriolet and a 2016 Ford Focus RS. Sooo...the crappiest of Eastern block steel that carries 350 hp of mere terror.

This needs to happen now. And a Jag mechanic needs to be on speed dial.

Since I’ll never have any of what you say, just let me have a ride with Ken Block in the Hoonigan Mustang.

Something like that yes.

I hate to say it, but skip the Cabrio. I had one back in the 90's as one of my “must own a very rare car” goals, and it was horrible even by the low standards of Yugo ownership. I never really knew what cowl shake was until I drove the Cabrio. You could watch the dash walk back and forth about 2 inches as you drove down the road.

The stock 1300, 50-some HP was too much for the body structure. 350 HP would destroy it in short order.

I hope they don’t have to be stock cars, because I’m going with this:

The Amazon gets a fast, modern, AWD platform to become a comfortable daily classic, and the V90 becomes the super powerful, RS6 Avant-beating RWD wagon it always should have been.
