Legend w/ RL mechanicals or Vice Versa?

I've noticed alot of great arguments in here lately so I figured why not start another...

What do you all think would be better and why: a Legend with new RL drivetrain or an RL with a Legend's body adapted on to it?

I'm sure there's a million variations of each idea and unlimited technical difficulties not to mention disgusting amounts of costs, but I can't stop thinking how fun a project this could be for a Powerball winner.

I would lean toward swaping and modding the RL's engine and drivetrain into a Legend, my gut and limited knowledge tell me this would result in a better driver than an RL with a Legend body...

feel free to get detailed in your opinion

Take your GS's heads, put it on a C35 block from a 1st gen RL and you'll have a fun car

Yup that would be fun, but as long as I'm dreaming I want SH-AWD too. I do alot of winter driving and no "Dream Car" would be complete with out some type of AWD, from what I've heard about the SH-AWD it's quite excellent in the frozen stuff.

Geeze I figured I'd get more action out of this topic, am I the only one who wants Legend looks with RL drivetrain?

Since my last post I've almost convinced myself that because of wheel base and track differences the best route to go would be RL drivetrain adapted into a Legend body...

OK, tell me how and why I'm wrong, or expand on the idea.

Unless I missed somethings, but your 2 options are basically the same: The performance of the RL inside the look of the Legend.

Aren't they?!





Ohh, of course I would trade my coupe for that one, as long as it's still a coupe and same colors.
