Lock yourself away in a room for 3 years of your life. Come up with some type of new idea or mathematical algorithm for data compression and encryption. Prototype the chip and sell it to a cell phone company or the government.

Buy anything you want!

doesnt work. lol, typically when you come up with something amazing, its more or less taken from you. tada! welcome to this wonderful world of "free market" and no such thing as "intellectual property" and even when things are patented, all it takes is someone with deeper pockets to beat you out even if they never had anything to do with it.

like me registering the domain name www.microsoft.com ....i do that, i own the domain. Microsoft gets pissed cause they want it, we goto court, who wins? the guy that did it first? or the multi-billion dollar company? tada!

 

[webink_EK9]

but if you can get something to work first. show them it works and don't tell them how you did it until they give you money, you've got em. if you try hard enough, it works. just gotta keep them interested long enough to get it done without telling them what exactly it is you're doing.

Are you asking me personally if I could use one, as in, would I have use for one, or are you asking in general, if a '94 Metro could be used for said project?

93-96 mirage coupe. $1300
91/92 talon tsi motor, 4g63t with 16g and FMIC $2200 ;
$2500 total cost (incl labor) for 215whp in a 2100lb car.


total cost of the project.... next to nothing for a high 13 second near-stock motored street machine.

 

[micah]

too many options to list them all really.

any big block in an s-10 = ownage if you wanna go that route.

almost any big block / v8 car with a few mods can do it fairly cheap and easy

[EXtremeAccord]

1969 VW Supa-Beeter (ahem, Super Beetle) $500-$1000
*Now, I don't know how... or why... or if possible*
Lighten the living hell out of the body (try and get 'er down to 1850lbs if possible)
Abolish the back end of this little bugger
Insert a huge ass V8 in said abolished rear end (Hell, throw an 85 'stang 5.0 in there)
Do whatever it takes to get this thing running (how... don't ask me)

Est. Weight: 2250
Est. WHP/Trq: 300/275 [Hell if I know... I'm just throwing numbers around]

Now, this isn't based on insanity... this is based on I saw a freaking Bug with a 5.0 in the damn back... I was more frightened than a 18yo sexy Blonde chick at a Million Man March... (no racial thing intended... couldn't think of a larger amassing of males)

How are you going to shift the transmission? You can't if its moutned behind the driver and its a FR tranny. You could use a FF auto engine, or an MR engine (like out of an MR2).
