Now there's a car. Yeah, i really wanted a 340 for mine, but ive heard of people paying like 1600 for one that needs rebuilt. So i figure sometime down the road ill just get the 340 heads, its already got the 340 cam in it and its bored a little. Poor man's 340

hehe, but it helps..
i want to put a 2.4L in my car (2001 Neon R/T) and do it up.
some people would want the intake/cylinder head from my car as it's quite desirable for someone who has a regular 2000+ SOHC Neon.
so a 2.4 in my car wouldn't be out of the question cost wise... maybe even a 2.4L turbo for a sleeper wannabe "poor man's" SRT-4!

Or I could just do the switch and get myself a Maxima.

you sound like me.

for me, it would be quite a few:
96 Impala SS
my current 240SX
96 300ZX
Datsun 150
93 Sentra SE-R
M5
993 Porsche 911 Turbo
an 89 Black Trans-AM modded to look like KITT (with all the necesary body work)
classic Beetle with white paint, red/blue stripes and 53 on the hood
Buick GNX
Ferrari 360 Modena
G35 Coupe or 350Z

I would be quite happy with these cars in my garage, most of them are quite attainable too.

As far as "obtainable right now" dream cars, I'd say the 1990 Shelby CSX Prototype a 1 of 1 car

1990 SHELBY CSX-16V Prototype (Proto 1)
T3 Engine with SHELBY Spec cylinder head
(different intake ports than stock)
SHELBY Spec Turbo
Monroe "Command System" cockpit adjustable struts and shocks
SHELBY Recaro Seats and Interior
BIG Front Brakes (R/T Style)
Engineering SBEC (two ee-proms)
A555 trans w/ SHELBY Motorsports Viscous Limited Slip

This car is probably developing over 240 horses on stock boost. I really wish these cars got to see the light of production, unfortunately, Shelby had a heart-attack which was one of the caused him shut production down.


As far as "Ridiculous cars I'll never own", gimme a Skyline GTR (R34) Either that or a Viper SRT-10 (*drool'ness*)

I'm also in love with the 1968 Corvette L-88. Change the carb and the headers and you go from 430 hp (gross) to over 500 hp (gross).

If I had to choose a daily driver though, it's no contest: 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 Coupe. Last of the RWD Turbos. Beauty, speed, and daily driveability.

EDIT: AH! I almost forgot the best car ever made! Dusenberg SJ Boat-Tail Speedster. Mmmmm, 100+ mph in 2nd gear.

I think mine would be a street legal version of John Lingenfelter's Cavalier that does a quarter mile in under 7 seconds.
