Ok so from the ground up what kind of car would you build. Now understanding we're not all automotive engineers, I don't expect people to talk about drag co-efficient and stuff like that but here's a few things i'd like to have you consider

Entire Drivetrain(Engine, Transmission, driveline)
Weight
Stock features and added available features(2 dr, 3 dr, 2 dr hatch etc.)
What demographic variable would you build the car to appeal to and why
Pricing(use sense in pricing.....as a car maker you wouldn't want to go poor)

have fun.....


My only RULE in this thread isTRY TO BE ORIGINAL...I don't want to know about your honda/nissan/ford/dodge wet dream.....try for one second to be original. If I wanted a frankenstien of already created cars I would have asked you to take features from already resisting cars and make one car. That's not what this thread is for. If you are into cars as much as people on this site claim to be you have to know what you want from a car as far as features, engine, transmission, price etc. That what i want you're own aspirations not (b20vtak w/AWD or RB26ttt)

What I'm thinking is a
Engine/Drivetrain
R16(145 HP x 110 ft.lbs)1.6L Inline 4 w/ Variable valve timing- 2dr, 3 dr hatch, or 4 dr.
R20I(192 HP x 159 ft.lbs)High Comp 2.0L Inline 4 w/ VVT
R20IX(250 HP x 221 ft.lbs)2.0 Inline 4 w/ t25 turbo
Only second 2 engine platform available FWD/AWD platform, FWD comes with optional CVT auto or 5 speed manual gearbox
AWD can come in either trim from DX and up but only in 4 spd auto or 5 speed option on DX.
Target age bracket will be all ages respectively, but mostly those who want to just get a little sport and for rally fans. All models have potential. DX model ca go either way, mid sized family car or sport car

well i always loved the v6 stuff . im thinking the scca style cars like the neon acr and the proge5/es msp . and the high rev motor for a good way to keep the turbo spooled and just sounds realy cool ..lol rwd because it going up to fight with mustangs camros and such but the small 5door look to keep the import guys happy awd is fun same with fwd but im kind of a 80's kid and remember the old toyotas and nissans with rwd stuff like that !

the guy with quite possibly the most expensive car on the site...has that to contribute....thanks a whole lot chuck

omgwtfbbq!

What about Pdisme's lambo?

Chuck 98 RT/10

LOL My bad. I didn't realize this was a mass production assignment.

In that case, it would have a huge engine with huge tires and stick like glue.
