Basically I want to take another J30A4, like this:

Kinja'd!!!

And stick it to the rear axle of my car, making it AWD.

And call it the Twin6.

480HP 12-cylinder AWD Honda Accord Twin6.

Maybe I should lay off the CRACK.

If I could shoehorn a V10 from the S6 into my A4.....

Sounds good to me. Now let’s imagine to K20s in a Civic. Imagine what VTECx2 feels like. Man that would be heaven. But what’s even better is you can tune one engine to hit VTEC sooner than the other and possibly have those unicorns from a range of 3000rpm to redline!!!

Sorry the shrooms were to good that I had to steal from your stash.

Wasn’t there a bro who put a VR6 in the back of his Golf one time?

Ford has already done this with their Duratec :)

probably so. It is attainable, just takes some skillful engineering to make it work

Here’s mine:

Take all of the mechanical bits (engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, etc.) from this:

and transplant them into this:

Therefore, the 8C would finally be able to perform as well as it looks.

Not to rain on your parade, but there’s already an 8C that handles well:

From my understanding, the Disco Volante is basically an 8C with a new body, reupholstered interior, louder exhaust, and softer suspension. How does this make it perform better than the 8C? In addition, personally, I think it’s hideous. So, you’re left with a vehicle that still doesn’t perform well and now looks atrocious.

Nah, find a pair of wrecked MDX’s and throw some 3.7’s in there. I don’t think there’s a difference in engine or transmission mounting, so it’s just a matter of software. 7.4 liters of screaming VTEC.

I stare at them all the time at work and it gets me thinking like Clarkson.

Mosler put two Northstar engines in an Eldorado in 1999:

Didn’t a LeMons team do that, with the front half of a Celica and the rear of a MR-2?

Well I think a good project would be to get the 3.7L from the MDX and drop it in the front of an Accord Coupe and had it to Bisimoto for some magic.

Only problem with that is if you give it to Bisi, you’ll be spending Veyron money for something as fast as a new Z06.

Pfft I want to shoehorn a W12 from a Pheaton into a Passat.
