Hopefully this will not turn into a bad topic...be civil !!!!!

I've noticed that when it comes to building Hot Rod or super customized badass European cars, none of them seem to come from America.

I've seen Volvo T5 and T6 motors stuffed into early 240 series Volvos...not a small feat, both of these turbo motors are originally installed tranversly and for the 240, the motors must be turned 90° to drive the rear wheels instead of the fronts.

The have killer Mercedes and of course the dopest Porsches ever made come from overseas.

I guess seeing the supposedly Boxster powered 914 got me thinking that we lag behind when it comes to cool or different conversions..

Just a thought...........
