If I want a reliable manual mid engine car with a real engine over 8 cylinders is my only realistic option the r8?Is it really that much to ask?
lamborghini hurracan manual swapped
>>288522212x the price of a R8Another $50,000 to swap it.
>Implying kraut krap is reliableNgmi sucker, enjoy your expensive paperweight you will never thrash around
Who the fuck cares for a supercsr being reliable?
>>28852219That is a VW, anon, it is absolutely going to be a shitwagon.
>>28852232people who think “I can clumsily and fatly smash my way through owning this car and it should never throw me a repair bill”Do you know why European brands are more “reliable” in Europe and Asia than they are in the US? It’s because of the obesity and IQ levels of the public
>>28852219nu-Corvette, Ford GT, LS-swapped Boxster.
>>28852219Basically everything is an engine out job on these.Just get a C8
>>28852278trvke
>>28852219AC compressor likes to die on these and that's an engine-out job, as is basically everything elseAlso timing chains lol
>audi? not reliable, get a CHEVROLETkekKEK
>>28852360I agree with the guy, I'd pick a C3-C7 over an R8. But, that's not in the scope of OP's question.
>>28852422>C3.Lolno, my bad, meant C4-C7.
>>28852219>vagshit>reliable
Yeah go ahead anon. What's the worse that could happen
>>28852422...Is that an SW20 with a 4.2 FSI?
>>28852505Yes.There are vids of it on YouTube. I think he had to extend the chassis to fit it.
>>28852506Actually the vids I saw are of another one with the same swap.
>>28852219C8
>>28852518OP specified manual.The C8 is only DCT auto, sadly.
>>28852219why get that when you can get an f430 or a v8 vantage? It's a supercar for soccer moms. It's like an i8: looks fast, is actually comfy and slow.
>exotic MR V8>reliablepick 1 retard. you don’t buy such a car for its reliability. also, something tells me you can’t afford it anyway
>>28852219>putting up with mid engine supercar BS for only 8 cylindersBuying an R8 that doesn't have a V10 is retard tier
>>28852219Build a Ford GT replica with whatever engine you think is reliable.
>>28852623this
>>28852632Good idea, I'd use some piece of shit old Modular from a wrecked truck, maybe add a supercharger if I wanted some power
>>28852219>reliable>audiNot at any level. If you're looking for 'reliability' go with a viper, the engine doesn't even know there's a car around it
>>28852219No.
