hey guys.. i recently started contemplating the idea that i need a car w/ some more balls. i currently drive a saturn sc2, and i have a friend that is giving me an 87 rx-7( minus motor and tranny.). now... i NEED a car that is quicker ect.. than the saturn. the requirements are the following. MUST be RWD, 5 speed, and handle well, and be fairly inexpensive. looks like the only 2 options are an s4 RX-7 or a 240.

my question is this: what kind of money am i looking at if i pick up a running 240 and slowly motor swap it (as i drive it)?

just FYI.. i have automobile knowledge/ mechanical skills and i'm not incompetent so the actual engine swap problem shouldnt be to much trouble.

thanks to all
