dream project car? Probably a Ferrari F50. Koenig's twin turbo kit, along with all the other accessories, would make it perfect when done. literally perfect.
If I was on a budget I would buy an 300hp Ariel Atom, with all good accessories, for roughly $55,000 and opt to assemble it myself. That would be a huge project (100+ hours) but thats what I would want.

Rep Power: 323 Shelby Cobra 289, an early corvette any model from '53-'57 (preferably convertible), S2000, Pajero Evo.
Well, I'd replace the old car's engines with modern engines/electronics and make them overall great cruisers. The S2000 I would just add a supercharger and see what else I could do to it... The Pajero on the other hand, well, I've always loved Mitsubishi's off-road worthyness. They're what Jeep is overseas... So, I'd like to modify it more for off-road purposes...

Rep Power: 232 Dream Projects: a 1932, 1934 and 1937 Fords with an LS1, minor tubbage in the rear, and paint so deep you think youll fall in. Gotta love a 1937 Ford with either a Gibbons or Phantom body on it, nothing else in the world looks as sleek as that.

Rep Power: 258 Either a 71' chevelle ss, 68' camaro ss, or an old nova. I also would of course like a shelby GT500. Actually I think I would rather have a 69' Impala 2 door again. My Dad bought one for me and we were supposed to restore it, but he eventually said he was too old and had lost his enthusiasm, so he sold it

Rep Power: 264 a dream project car... if it was a dream then i would get the Mirage GT. would be kinda nice if i could blow 2 million on a project car... but in reality, i would probably want to get either a porsche 911 Turbo 90-96 and then just make it into a all around contender as in cornering and straight way speed or a e30 or e36 (e36 most likely) M3 or 325CI and just boost the living hell out of it. ive come to terms with what really counts in a car and thats ***** out handling.
