I was wrong....Import guys are insane too!!.......

In some previous posts where I've griped about people swapping modern powertrains into vintage Iron, I have said it's odd that you don't see a 1972 240Z with the engine and tranny out of a 2015 370Z or a  1973 Porsche 911T with the powertrain out of a 2012 Carrera 4. I was wrong-I saw in Motor Trend of all places-a guy spent $250,000-that's right a quarter-million-putting the engine, trans, suspension and some interior parts out of a 2017 Lexus ISF into a 1969 Toyota Corolla!!  You butchered a 416 hp, $60,000 sport sedan to put it's guts into a subcompact that's worth what-$3,000 if it's pristine?  I've never heard of people fighting with machetes for late '60's / early '70's Corollas. Andi it cost 250K to do it???  What's next? A Nissan GTR drivetrain in a Sentra??  There are truly people with more money than brains.....Mastermind
