yup that is why i was pointing out that it would truley be unique.. light, 2 dr, liftback, AWD, v6(t), looks good, bustill a sleeper. handles great, ... the list goes on.
oh i know that the AWD and the turbo would put more weight into the car, but that is ok, considering that the 2GRFE is just over 100lbs lighter than a 3sgte... hmmm. and if you leave the turbo off the 2grfe, and were to compaire FF to FF(since it woudl be mated to the same trans), the 3sgte puts down what to the wheels stock? 200ish? were as to the swapped 2grfe puts down just under 275ish whp. when coupled to the AWD i would wager that the 2grfe would loose less overall power and torque compared to a 3sgte driven AWD.. since the 2grfe has 2 more slugs helping to push that AWD. what i mean, is not that since the 2grfe has more of both that it would still have more on tap after pushing the AWD, but that the actual percentage of power loss would be less. do i know if this would proove to be true? IDK.. wont know till some one does a swap.
