Kenny Brown M-S powertrain + 95 Sable wagon = One unique car

[Mr Rush]

Just as a thought..... I own a 95 sable wagon, not a shabby car it gets me to where I want to go which is good enough. My father owns the Marauder. Well, I wish I had a SHO but insurance and my funds would not allow one. Yet as a dream if I had an extended amount of funds I would find it really great to go above the SHO-Wagon and strap the whole Marauder - S power-train to the sable to make the first... Sable Eliminator. Dreams of pulling up to a ricer and letting him win the first few yards then blowing by him only to watch the jaw drop expression. I wont let this dream die and hopefully it may exist sometime down the road. :rolleyes:
What do you guys think, good idea... bad idea?

Well, the engienering nigtmare you came upwith of converting a front wheel drive car to a rear wheel drive would be one of the biggest issues.

And keeping it FWD would not be a good idea. All that torque from the V* would twist the front suspention into so much metal pretzels.

I think it would be a cool idea otherwise.

Great idea.Except for the amount of work.

How about a wrecked SHO drivetrain in the wagon?

Bask in the early 70's Motion Performance sold a Vega wagon with a 454 V8. I heard that they didn't make many other changes though and the poor little thing quickly fell apart from all the torque. It ran like a rocket for a little while though.

When the SHO first came out... I saw an article where some tuner installed the SHO engine into the wagon... The title of the article referenced

"SHO-GON" (think Japenese)

I think the SHO-GUN was a Festiva powered by a SHO drivetrain.

It would be like puttin'........

Perfume on a goat.:D

The Sho Gun was the Festiva. I believe the engine was behind the driver. Jay Leno bought one.

Correct !

Road and Track did a review of the car - Feb '91 Review of the SHOgun (SHO powered Festiva). *Seem to recall the car was the result of some guy name Titus ( forget the firstname ).

There's a picture of one here (http://serjimr.tripod.com/onelap/onelap.html) - 05May2002 One Lap of America
