Are the aerodynamics of a 107 THAT bad, or are modern cars just that good?
Everyone up to this point has been interested in interested in swapping BIGGER engines in cars, I'm wondering about swapping a SMALLER, more efficient and potentially more powerful engine with better gas mileage potential into a 107. At this point the only candidates with RWD would be luxury cars and trucks.

Actually the Azera comes with a 5 speed auto, I think the Nissan Maxima has a CVT mated to a 250+ hp V6. Aerodynamics is another concern, they make a huge difference, especially in highway mileage.
