re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

wise, invest into property and spend your cash wisely on a car you will enjoy. Do you have a possible list of potential future buys.
Doesn't everybody have a list with the respective budgets? :)

I've never been a 911 fan. Some of my workmates have bought them but they have never wowed me that much even if the timeless look is growing on me.

Who knows maybe I'll go left field and get a Tesla lol.

The marvel of the industry is every few years the new cars come out which give me something to think about, and the ones I dreamt about become more affordable!

They aren't available in australia as far as i know. They look pre good but money wise. Not very worth.

re: CARS & RIDES & Mighty Car Mods

Don't understand that car, has same engine as the RUF CTR3 and same wheelbase - so I assume its a reshelled ctr3.

Leaves about $2 million unaccounted for, not even good looking. I think its sole purpose is to extract money from oil sheikhs with more money than taste + sense.

Its just not practical.

Most of the time when that is done its diy hack jobs that are far from street legal.

Depends on the current system. FWD to RWD is quite a large job and I would say in excess of $4000 at the least just for material and manufacturing if you look at wreckers and old, usable parts (assuming you were to build it yourself). However, this is just way too hacky for the chassis being used. Is the chassis designed for a different drivetrain? Probably no, but it depends on the car.

However, if you really wanted to, you could run a spool which might be a bit cheaper lol.

I would stay away from a mod like that unless you are an actual mechanic or have a lot of money and know what you are doing.
