Everyone has a dream car and I thoguht it might be cool for people to post up their dream machines.  So if anyone has a dream car that they wish they can build up (please no super cars, we know their great) share if you want.

Whats mine?  An 1986 Corrola GT-S hatchback with a 3S-GTE and the Celica All-Trac drivetrain.  Once the heart is in the beast, I'd like to build in a roll cage, add a better stiffer suspension, lighter 16" rims with some sticky tires.  Once thats all in order, I'd like to slap on a full performance exhaust, headers, and a full turbo system (I'm talking bout turbo, intercooler, fuel system the works).

I'd like to build it and make it an EVO destroyer, not an EVO killer but a DESTROYER.  That and be able to dethrone the mighty Delta.  Any comments or other dream cars and builds?

Tacky, I know, but I want a skyline.  Honest to god.  Nothing over the top... just some simple mods to make it a bit quicker than stock.  Thats my dream

1998 Supra Turbo, Metallic Black, no crazy bodykit, decals or anything. i'd turn it into a road race car I can get groceries in, meaning the Tein coilovers and TRD front and rear Anti roll bars would be tuned to make it stiff enough to help it pull more than a full lateral G, but only stiff enough to leave me with a somewhat sore butt. The Exedy triple plate clutch kit, Borla catback exhaust, enlarged intercooler, and Garett T66 turbo kit at 10 psi would have it at about 550 hp and 570 tq, and itd be on street tires. It'd hit 60 in under 4.5 seconds, and run the quarter mile in under 12.5, It'd weigh under 3000 pounds due to the  carbon fiber body panels, lexan windows, etc. but still have stereo, back seats, and A/C. It would have SSR comps, 17x9.5 in the back, and 17x8.5 in the front on goodyear Eagle F1 rubber. Stopping the madness would be a Brembo Gran Turismo Big Brake kit with drilled rotors. Something like that anyway, but that's just a rough list compiled on an empty stomach. what do you guys think?

I have two.. would take either..

The Lancia Delta Integrale Evolution

Or the Fiat Abarth 2000 OT Periscopio.

The latter I can get in kit form. There is a guy in germany reproducing the bodies.. all you need is a fiat 850 spider (easy to find rusty) for the chassis and suspension. then it is a matter of mating the transmission to the engine that is in my spider.. and you have a 2 litre class killing race derived car.

I think it's cool that no one has mentioned lambos or Ferrari. It's nice to see that knowledge is power here, and most would rather build a Ferrari fighter rather than buy the benchmark.

Man, I've got so many it's hard to come up with a sure thing. I like the Skyline, but I think I would have to go with a blown or turbo 2006 Mustang GTR. Gosh I love the body style, and would even contemplate a mild body kit considering all of the performance goodies were installed.

Considering a more affordable alternative, I really have it already, the Talon, I'd just build the snot out of it.

well.. the tern was "no supercars". If I was after my favorite car? The Ferrari 275 GT/B 4 short nose would get my heart pumping in a heartbeat.

they are kinda supercars but of a totally different nature, at least by todays standards they are not supercars, to slow and not flashy enough, but for me they are the ultimate.

If it were possible, I would want to have one model of every sports, racing car that ever rolled on earth.

Does the Ferrari 308 or the 328 count as a super car? What about late 70's early 80's Porsche 911's?
