Why? Maybe a performance motor in a Yugo or Pinto?
I could see the thrill of racing someone and beating them in such a car but, it's not for me

That's awesome to see one that looks 100% stock with a motor swap. Most Pintos, Vegas, Chevettes, etc you see with a motor swap are really cut up drag cars with no interiors, roll cage, tubbed in the back, etc.

this took some skill to keep it tight and tucked. That exhaust note is the only thing giving it away lol
