Do you sit there for ages thinking what engine should be in what car.

For example, take the ford fiesta.

I can't see the point in sticking the RS200 engine in with 4WD (RWD too twitchy with that power) when the original RS200 comes with the same engine and transmission. Why have 2 cars with the same drivetrain. It's a waste of money.

I also can't amke up my mind with the 3 focus's AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

I like that it's entirely possible to ruin a car with the wrong engine (incidentally for the focus that's the big V8 with FWD. Understeery...)

But generally unless I'm going for maximum power I'll keep the original engine.

I'd guess if you put a rs200 engine and trans into a Fiesta, it'd come out at a lot less PI.

And it will sound oh so cool.
Prefer the 'phhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, pachewwww' noise of the rs200 to the groan of the zetec S engine hehe

I often buy several of the same car just to have them at different stages of tune. I also like to experiment and have some frankly ridiculous creations in my garage that are totally undriveable
