But Stocker. Even with all the money in the world, I'd feel like an a**hole for doing such a ridiculous build. I'd build it to what I want first, then get unhappy with it.

If i take this seriously. I would buy an RD2. Drop the theta from a gencoupe in it, boost it custom and do all the much needed upgrades. I would have a custom body kit made. Fully restored exterior and interior. Tuck the engine bay, small and i mean small system as to not add much weight. I would have the dash wrapped in leather like a high end vehicle. center exit exhaust. The best fitting wheels without going to the point of following the "stance hella flush MOVEMENT (as they call it) I would likely convert the tranny to a six speed from a gen. And see if I can retro fit the all wheel drive system from an early tuscon. (which I never understood why no GK or XD owner never tried. It's the same platform.) Then of course the motor would be fully built and I would extract a high goal but reasonable target for front wheel drive horsepower. I love the rd. it never recieved the attention it really deserved.

Actually there was a GK owner once upon a time that did a Delta AWD swap from one of the trucks. (Forget the actual link.) Not to mention old boy who did the dual motor RD. (What ever happened to that car?) And weren't the rally cars AWD betas? Anyway, as for the swap, a longitudinal motor in that is a *bit* of a snug fit, and going AWD would be almost impossible no matter how much cash one had. That said, the Santa Fe uses an AWD trans and a Beta motor, also known to take boost quite well. There is a 6 speed option in Europe and Korea for Beta-ed GKs, Cee'd, Elantras and a few others. In fact, its the same trans code used in the us spec Sentra SE-R. Oh, and on webtech there is a rear knuckle listed as "4wd" under the one listed "fwd'.... ponder-ponder.... but no info on it. Just feeding the fire.

I was just chatting about this the other day. Some dude started to do a tucson AWD swap into his elantraXD. He disappeared halfway through his build thread though

Unlimited financial possibilities and you'd opt for a cookie cutter lambo.

For infinite cash you could fund completion of the Dagger GT, a tuned SSC UA2, one of Evolution MotorSports' monster 1800hp Apollos, at the very bare minimum there's a Veyron SS "top Speed" for sale in Dubai, or any number of crazy vehicles. I'm just sayin'. If you wanna go crazy, really go crazy.

NONE of those have the curb appeal of an Aventador. If I'm rolling like that here in Vegas, I want everyone to know it. No million dollar kit cars for me.
