And I agree Eyes. You think I would leave the suspension alone in any car that fast? I would put a rollcage in, seam weld the whole frame, new seats, dry carbon body panels (including a solid roof), Moton dampers, fully adjustable sway bars and toe links, carbon driveshaft, Stasis brake rotors and Brembo brakes, Nitto NT-01 tires on magnesium wheels, and a bulletproof rear end with a Quaife limited slip. Literally the works. The engine would also have a straight exhaust that dumps under the middle of the car (no sid exits) and scramble boost. That short list is the tip of the iceberg. It would be the fastest street car, period. It would also cost upward of 250 grand. That is my DREAM car. On race gas, it would make over 2000 horsepower. On 87 octane, there would be a separate tune that could get me about 25 mpg. Just let the blowers do most of the work. Given enough tuning, I bet it could run on only 5 cylinders. And that would get about 30 mpg highway.
And while the last owner set up my Sil-Eighty for drag racing, I am going to be doing autocrossing with it. Most of the parts are there (except real coilovers), so I can make it work. It just needs to come out of the shop.
