    My picks:

    C4 Corvette

    Infiniti G35 coupe

    Porsche 928

    E46 touring (more room for mid engine config too)

    The paddle shifted automatic doesn't phase me at all. Mercedes autos are wonderful and you've upgraded the TC. Did you put a more aggressive valve body on it too?

        Yes. Buy @Jeff's and do the swap. Would be awesome.

          This is my vote! Although it doesn't work for being midengine it would be a sweet swap.

              Not that it has anything to do with your project, but I'm mildly obsessed with this idea at the moment...

              35643020201ccd3f1258b.jpg

              Pulling on someone on the highway would be like that video I posted in the "awesome car videos" thread, except with an '80s Mercedes wagon instead of an RS4...

                The mid engine dream is not a high possibility, just a thought. @Jeff if you still have it let me know I am going to be looking at some cars today. 

                The valve body is stock but it has a tcu tune that makes shifts way faster.

                    This is the car in question. 58k brown interior that is in perfect condition. It has been sitting on jack stands for 12 years.

                      Is the E36 you have been parting out too rusty?

                        Yeah would not be worth the effort

                            the mid-engine thing sounds unnecessary. is there even room for the engine/trans/firewall before you would be into the front passenger area? 

                            put it in a miata.

                              This sounds super interesting. How about a W109 or even older a W111 finny. That would be really awesome!
