Default Whats cooler? RX7 with a..... or a VW Bug with a....

Looking into what project ill do next.

im selling almost all my projects and im finishing my old Z's.
i was thinking of getting a old VW Bug and doing something crazy in it, but do it in the hoodride style
::Taking the Politics out of Cars::

maybe a STI swap or do a turbo Type 4 motor... i dunno something.



or i was thinking a 1st gen RX7.
i always liked them, sorta looks like a old Z and i do love my old Z's.

if i did a RX7 though the rotary would be thrown away (dont start rotary guys)...
i was thinking of a wicked 1JZ something with 600+whp.
i dont want something thats very driveable.. its more fun when its a challenge to drive and it scares the shit out of ya.

so what ya think?

I would go for the bug!
In Brazil there is lot of I4 swaps on old bugs, they are sick!! I always loved those! But the boxer setup sounds better, even better with a air cooled porsche engine!!!

better yet piss off people by using an RB instead of a 1J...for some reason everyone who knows nothing of RBs hates them and immediately suggest an LSx swap instead....
