If you were rich.....
 

If you had all the money in the world, and you had a choice of getting a true sports car (Porsche, Viper etc) but you can't do anything to it. Or buy a regular car (under 30 grand) and put loads of money under the hood and make it crazy fast. What would you do?

Buy the most expensive/exotic sports car in the world.

I would NEVER buy a car and leave it stock... that's just silly imo.

at the very least wheels & springs/struts.

james bond's car:cool: hahahahah:o

Ahhh, that's a good one Anna! :thumbsup: I'd go with an expensive sports car. I'd want a car that I wouldn't have to do anything to and speaks for itself.

Hrm, I wouldnt buy a sports car..:no:

Id buy nice SUV (Hummer or something) and a sweet sportsbike like a 'Busa! :yes:

True sports car. Nothing else like it. Now, if you had said an older car, I would want a 69 Camaro convertable, built with a blown motor and gear drive for starters. :yes:

Crazy sports car. There's more to a car than just power - a nice sports car will be lighter weight, better susp, stronger chassis, nicer interior appointments, stronger drivetrain, probably some nice drivebywire features, traction control, better brakes,...

if i had mega cash teh lastthing iw ould buy is a new car! here is what i would do............
house and acreage
huge barn and arena to ride horses in
huge garage
nice storage area for special needs equipment and i would buy and loan out wheelchairs ect to kids who need em.
then i would buy a 69 chevelle and fill teh garage with allll teh equipment i would need to work on it.
and then i would create a playroom in teh garage and one in teh barnm so that when i am enjoying my hobbies, my kids would be safe and i could supervise them.

dreams.........sigh.............

Ferrari F50:love:

If I had all the money in the world, I'd spend it on something worth while. I'd end world hunger and try to bring about world peace. I'd give back to the community for it has given me. (j/k)


I'd probably buy a regular car and modify it until it wasn't a car anymore, maybe into an airplane or something.

:yes:

I'd probably buy a Subaru WRX WRC car. I like the idea of a sequential gear box and paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

porsche gt2... OR

crx, reinforce frame, replace everything, redo back to accomodate 2jz-gte, twin t-66 turbos, roof scoop (functional), rwd conversion... mmm 800+ rwhp 2000lb car... *instant death*

I'd get myself a nice expensive car.
I'm not sure what yet, because, well, I don't have that kind of money so why waste all my time doing all that research. When I do get it, I'll spend the time.

If you buy an expensive car, it'll already have all that and a bag of chips done to it!

Accord Euro R or a s2000 ( this is their last year ya know ?

skyline...then id get some volks and suspension...i have all the money...why cant i do things to it...screw your rules...:stickman:

"If you were rich..."

How do you know I'm not already??

Anyway, give me a big limo and a driver for starters. Of course, I'd need a fun car to drive on my own (roadster of some sort, but havent't given it much thought).

Or a helicopter. F traffic.

BINGO

skyline with ROTAS and a bunch of nude women. Also a nude women body kit.

then the 1000hp conversion, that i *think* is made by signal ?

and a bunch of tvs... a bigscreen in the bumper. 5 in cthe gas cap. twon in the exhaust, 18 ion each headrest. a wing made totally of tv's and 33 on the antenna.

Even with all the money in the world......I'm not so sure if that's possible....33 tvs in the antenna???

if i had huge amount of money i would buy myself a Mercedes-Benz e55 brabus.....boy is that thing sweet....also a island with a personal race track to test all the cars that i buy....a heli would be nice....and a massive boat, oh yeah, maybe for kicks i would get myself a 996 with stage 5 turbos....700+ hp AWD...WHOA...i saw one over the weekend at car show

That is just a stupid question. The fastest production car will never be as fast as a $30,000 with $500,000 in it. I would get a 97 3000GT and put all the money in the world into it and make it faster than anything out there;)

it's the....not teh...c'mon now:rolleyes:
I'm not too sure what i'd do..
probably just buy a house, car and everything else i would need to that i would be set for life...then i'd give an equal amount to everyone in the world...

3 words.......



R32, R33, and R34

I'd buy my practical dream car (under 8 G)

and dump 35G into it.

I know exactly where to spend the money too.

If I have a lot of money. I´m going to buy a M-Benz E550 Sedan and Pochse Cannye SUV. Sorry my mispelling. :paranoid:

Also traveling all the times!!!! :yes:

lol kyle always gotta pick on me?

man.....believe it or not, this question (thread) is kind of tough for me to answer :confused:

A Lambo Diablo would be nice or a Maclaren or just drop all the money I can on a civic HB........bahhhhh.....my head hurts.................:crazy: :doh: :banghead:

............. well, actually. I'd rather drop some money on a civic hatch back and have a quarter mile track and autocross track in my backyard:yes:

ahh sounds good, theres so many sweet cars to pick from:yes:

or how about a skyline powered 240? keep the AWD with less body weight :)

Doesn´t matter about the weight.

i would start my own performance/audio shop and for the grand opening i would have a big DB drag and car show and pay for the gas and hotels for the 1st 200 people from HS tuners that posted to a specific forum to come and stay for the weekend for the events.............oh yeah....and i'd have a pool like Ozzys

i would have to say either a lambo or a f50

My first answer was going to be a hot ass sports car. i agree with Erin in the fact that I want a car that will speak for itself. I want a car that will turn heads and i don't have to do anything to it other than keep it washed and waxed and general maintaince.
But then as I read through everybody's responses, i got to thinkin....if I would just get a "normal" car and do the couple of mods that I like (I'm not very extravagant when it comes to mods I like)...I'd have a ton of money left over to do other things...like retire and drive my car around. So...I don't know what I'd do....I've always wanted a sports car :luck:

After much consideration, I think this is what I will do. I will hire an entire company to design one car for me, it must be completely new, the motor, the body, everything. Once the plans are finished and worked to my satisfaction, one vehicle will be produced, it will be the first and last car of this type. I will pay the developers handsomely to never make another car like it again. All the plans will be kept by me, and if the car should break down over the course of time, all the needed parts will be fabricated on demand. ::cool:

Dude, you're kidding right

So you'd fill up a garage with a standard combination wrench set?

Not even close... if you think an M3 is as fast or as good as it could be you're wrong...

Not just that but I wouldn't ever drive a car on it's stock wheels unless it was a bmw 5 series with the dished bbs'. and still I'd do at least an intake and exhaust... probobly a chip.... No actually I'd just keep going and going like I do on anything... EVERYTHING can be improved upon...

lots of companies build one off cars... however to have a block designed for you would be about as dumb as you could get... blocks are not exactly something you can just draw up and make... it takes LOTS of R&D to come up with a good block design.
And as far as having them "fabricating on demand"... I'd bet money bill gates couldn't afford to do that.

I'd much rather dump so much money into whatever car that noone would ever do anything remotely similar... I like the process more than the product though... so maybe that's just me.

I'm really feeling the Infinity G35 right now so I'd have to go w/that and sink loads of money into it:cool:

i was talking more like lift, dyno ect

I believe if you read the original post correctly. It said "If you had all the money in the world." So it really doesn't matter how much is spent.


PS. "all the money in the world" is more money than Bill Gates has. ;)

I believe if you knew anything about cars you'd know that you'd be nothing but disappointed with an original design block....;)

swaps are fun and all but not every 20ft.

^you officially are missing the point

obviously there are people that know how to build engine blocks, otherwise there would be none. obviously at some point in time they had to be invented, thought up, created, tested, and deemed worthy. you make it sound like an impossible task to design an engine block:rolleyes: . with money, anything can be done. is it possible to get to the moon? yes. was it 40 years ago? no. it is possible to design/develop a fresh engine block, especially with all the money in the world paying engineers that know exactly what they are doing. don't be so arrogant and condescending, it really isn't warranted when you are as ignorant as you are...

McLaren F1 (or however you spell it) hah
