[Zsolti]

Thsi thread was made to make your ideas for a car/truck/bus. Get your ideas

My one:

Zsolticorp Wanderer 1955-1957
Picture below

It is a unique car among the others, having an 8 litre V8[same class cars had a 6 litre V8], unusual double lights, and the unique rear lights. It was the most popular car in its era.

yay for bumping old threads!


ANYWAY

The first halo car of serothis motor corp (name needs work, I know) would be a mx-5 body (coupe version anyway), 1.8l v6 w/ 7k+ redline N/A. The preformance package version would have turbo. Not sure how much power I could actually get out of either version but the goal would be 230+ hp (base) and 300+ hp (turbo).

It would probably cost an arm and a leg....and your left kidney.

Im only a Mazda KLZE V6 and a hardtop away from having that! I want!

230hp from a 1.8L that's aiming high. A bit high than the S2000 in fact and that with a scientifically lower redline. Not saying it isn't possible, in fact judging from the I4s it is but not much higher with out higher revs.

[Daffyflyer]

Ah yeah, I didn't see the 1.8L bit, would probably need to be more like 3L

[serothis]

I was thinking along the lines of a modern interpretation of the k8 engine. Far fetched and I would have to sacrifice fuel economy to acheive it but it's a miata so it has to say small and light

230 number is a goal not an absolute

[Daffyflyer]

Actually, if you could run it to 7800rpm or so, my half arsed calculations say it could work, maybe with a bit of near future tech

[serothis]

Hmm so a larger displacement while I wait for the wankel. Although the novelty of a small displacement v6 is very tempting

ive seen LS7's and the like put into a MX-5 - a little overkill - but a KL-ZE would be awesome while keeping it in the family

... if only I hand the time, money, equipment and the mechanical aptitude...

You sort the money thing out, and I'll sort the others for you

[serothis]

I think I would want a 3 rotor monstrosity over the ls7. Still epic though.

But then again there's still a problem of a lack of time, money, equipment and skill.

And it doesn't help when I find pretty examples like this

[machalel]

well if time, money, equipment, and skill weren't an issue, I'd be currently driving around with a triple rotor in my MR2
