What mods would you guys do if you won the lottery. I would make the best car ever! Just wondering because i think about it alot, looking at parts cats.

 

I'd buy a 60s camaro and drop a really radical big block into it, a track only car.

Then I'd buy complete new suspension for my iroc, and drop in a streetlegal turbocharged 427 with custom fuel injection. I'd have the a custom interior put in too, probably black leather. That would be a nice street car.

 

I'd put a twin turbo LS6(900hp) 427 mounted mid engine in the chassis with a tremec 6speed transaxle. The front susension would be a Rocker style SLA. With the gasrtank, intercoolers, and radiator in the engine bay and a complete ground effect underbody. I would use recaro Leather seats( I wouldnt have rear seats anymore) and a 4th gen center console. The dash pad would be stock with an autometer gauge panel. It would have a leather wrapped grant steering wheel. I would run a 3.42 rear gear. Front air spliter(a real one). I cant think of anything else right now. Oh yeah, it would be a thirdgen with 91-92 groundeffects.

 

I'd have a '65 Shelby Cobra, and probably a streetable 9sec '69 Camaro.
And a Shelby GT500. Yeah it's a Mustang but at least it isn't a Honda.

Then of course I would have to do stuff to my IROC. SS Hood, all fiberglass front end. Chrome 17" IROC wheels. New paint job. An all aluminum 350 block, with a Paxton Supercharger.

 

Mods to my IROC: a 632 cid Monster Merlin (780HP on motor) and add twin turbos to it. And all the expensive goodies to make the car live and hook.

Dream car: a 71 Hemi Cuda, Plum Crazy purple, with black billboards. With the biggest and baddest hemi crate engine I can find for the street and put twin turbos on that. Then I'd go with the Stryker Viper in steel grey.

 

I would buy a mustang then put all my winnings in it so it could run half as good as a chevy


MclarrenF1 any questions?

For my vette i'd drop a twin turbocharged and intercooled aluminum 400 (if they even have those) with forged/balanced internals and full roller valvetrain, a HUGE radiator, superram intake, DFI, baer brakes all-around, build my 4+3 tranny, a 3.42 LOCKING rear diff, all new high perf. suspension, fix that ***dam leaky glass top, custom digital boost/vac and fuel pressure guages. Before all this i'd strip the car down and have the frame and underside professionally shot peened and painted. And to top it off i'd have a box of cookies............

 

I'd pay someone to invent a time machine and put it in (Back to the future style) and I'd also get rocket packs and pay off politicians to make them street legal. Oh I guess I'd need some monster brakes too.

Anyone know where you can get a flux capacitor?

 

I'd build an entire tube chassis out of titanium with carbon fiber skins. I'd drop in a twin turbo ls6 and run 5's. My whole setup would weigh 1300 lbs. Pulling 1.6 g's in the corners, a fast *** street legal go-cart

 

I'd build a garage to do all this wonderful work in...

 

ZR1

I'd at very least have some 4 valve per cylinder set up on my SBC!!!

Who cares what you put it in, if its ugly its a sleeper if its perdy its a hot rod

 

I want a 69 GTO hardtop with the biggest, baddest, N/A, streetable big block I could get in there. 6 speed trans. I'd keep the original style suspension, but put in new, tubular pieces and convert to manual rack & pinion. I think I'd like to paint it carousel red or maybe the green on the new bullit mustangs. 16" TTII's or 15"/16" f/r TTII's. I would want some wide, sort of fat tires--leave the low profiles for the newer cars.

I'll build this car someday. It will look stock, but that's where the resemblence will end.

 

I'd buy myself a nice gm denali, then buy a new 2003 vette zo6, yank the motor, bore it out and stroke it and resleeve it for a 427, slap twin turbos on it, and then probably do some custom interior work (like even nicer seats, etc) paint a veryyyyy nice shade of blue (i'd find a better one than the blue that would already be on it) Then, i would build the chassis up for the road course and go have some serious fun!

For my T/A?
Tube Chassis, Carbon Fiber body panels (stock look though ), Probably either a 400 SBC, or an LS6 around 400 cubic inches , rip rear suspension apart, convert to live axles, and make a 4 wheel totally independant suspension, lower the car, and smooth underside of the car with carbon fiber sheets, carbon fiber driveshaft, driveshaft loop, at least Dana 60 rear end @ around 3.73 ratio, 17" rims, with high quality wide (like Viper wide) low profile tires (not for looks, for better handling), built up T56 transmission (built up to take more power!), Notchback conversion, Weight reduction, weight reduction, weight reduction, oh yeah, and weight balance, try to get 50/50 front and back, 50/50 left and right, and get the center of gravity as low as possible, aerodynamics packages to make sure this light low car would stick to the ground, if I get get the proper hydrolics (to raise and lower the car) so that handling was not compromised in any way whatsoever, I'd opt for them to make the car a little more streetable (i.e. the front of the car not hitting the road, upon hitting a bump, NOT used for those really retarded "jumping" cars), I would want the suspension pulling at least 1G on the skid pad, but the higher the better basically the highest quality suspension possible, forgot in that tube frame....also a full roll cage built in, On the motor, Lunati crank/dished pistons/rods (if they make rods), AFR heads, 4 bolt mains or 6 bolt if LS6 (I don't really know any LS6 mods since I don;t have one, but basically whatever I could do to it to get around 900 HP) Accell mini or superram, large supercharger 20 psi+ , SLP headers/exhaust, High Flow Cat, K&N filters, Functional ram air/cold air induction, Custom chip (duh), laptop in the car programmed by me to handle the accell DFI , maybe a little shot of nitrous if all that doesn't get me up to the desired HP range.
Basically, as close to a street legal race car as one can get

 

I'd get custom parts built out of lightweight material so that i didn't have to strip anything off my car, yet it would only weigh 1900 lbs. It have all of the chassis stiffening goodies too. I would have a custom removable top. I keep my 305 and my tbi, but the engine would have 305hp and the car would be very very fast.

 

I'd invest wisely, then PAY someone to work on all my vehicle projects, with me acting as the "super".

Bottomline would be numerous wild rides, whether it was the IROC, the '57, the '36, the '31 or my '59...


Did I mention I have a lot of projects "in the works"?

 

I'd track down that blue flamed stretch Pinto that was in Wayne's World.......and make it run 11's

 

That was a gremlin wasn't it?

 

Actually......I think you're right, my memory must be fading.
