Which is better? If I ever get this Honda V6 sorted out for a RWD installation, (work has started!) which makes the best home for it? I was thinking Dolomite, due to: Classy interior and exterior trim, keeping it in the family (engine/box pinched from BL products!), nice driving position and not ‘aggressively’ sporty when out on the road. But then, I do like Avengers…. Love the styling, quite simply. Plus good motorsports credentials. On the downside, a bit more ‘council estate’ than Dolomites ever were, defo not such a classy product. What are our views? vs. seconds out!

Def Dolly.

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

Tough one.
Both worthy homes for your techno-proj.
If you make it look like that Orange Avenger from RCS, though.......

Ooh I dunno! Dolly is more classy but sort of pipe-and-slippers-old-man. Avenger is sort of cheaply-conceived-crude-but-effective.
Dolly I think... Hmm.

Hmmm. It'd be the Avenger for me, cos it has L-shaped rear lights, and I used to love them as a kid! Love Dollies too, but a V6 Avenger would be kickaisss.

Are you including Toledos? The Dolomite comes out top on most comparisons, but doesn't have a two-door shell option, unlike the Avenger.

Avenger. They used to be so council house and those lovely L shaped rear lights swing it for me.
Dolomite is a great car, but there's quite a few out there that have been done.
