There is no DIY in your setup.

All the work is being done by someone else.

Gull wing doors and paint does not make anything rare either.

If you made it awd and 5 speed, that is something that someone could not easily pull off, and, you will get a 3x multiplier when you play nfsu and get on the cover of a mag. :roll:


gull wing doors would make it rare, lambo doors wouldn't though

The question is not whether someone else could do the same but rather would they. Not many people would spend that much money and keep an auto trans.

Go for 5 speed and just go with 2-3-4 gears, drop the final gear down to the duratec gear. Turbos like numerically lower gear ratios. Helps them build bost.

Tell me how many people have an 05+ ZX5 Auto Trans with Cosworth and a Turbo. All I am going for is the rarity.

I'd rather do a 5 speed swap, re-gear it, and mate it with a powerful clutch and lsd.
