Well, not so stupid.
As long as you are going through the pain and money to do a engine swap, go all the way.

Try a Nissan GT-R.

Im 100% sure it will rule the streets, eat STis and Evo for breakfast even the modded ones. etc etc.

With this car. no

Oh wait, I dont think you should even drive. Forget what I've said.

I see this thread, and your tenure here at 8club, ending badly.

Put a little more effort into your posts and people will respond in kind. Write like you're a preteen texting a friend and you're going to get smartass responses. I'd like to mention that punctuation is important, but I don't want you to get overwhelmed - let's take this one step at a time.

Enough preaching. Read up a bit and figure out what you want. For *****-out rotary power, the best option is probably a 20B swap.

Good Luck.

Let's break down the first sentence:

Okay.
Assuming money is not a problem for me.
It is not.
Laughing out loud.
Okay.
I have a 2004 Mazda RX-8 GT.

But you said a LITTLE bigger.

I bet they get THEIR name in the streetz.

Don't try to make sense out of it, MendosaGuy - I got my name on the streetz, and found out my sexual orientation in a bar - seems I'm a 'Faggit'.

GT-R is ur friend, the default settings on it can turn n00bs into "1337" street racer in 1 second. Just flip the switch if its not on normal settings.

Dont turn on the R mode tho, with most *n00bs* skills out there they gonna crash it and kill themself in 2 seconds.

oh wait, I still wanna visit your area just wanted to know what kind of *name* you got out there.
