E 30 M3 would be nice, it is the only M3 originally designed as a race car then modified to be a street car.

But Im thinking either a Austin Mini cooper S, or if I had a Krap load of $$$$ a GT40, the last LeMans car that can be registered as street legal.

My dream car(s):

NSX with it all, and in the red/orange mustang color.

Evo5/6 to look pretty much exactly like the one in the chinese movie "Legend of Speed"

both are no where near feasible.. although...

feasibly:

90 crx with rwd, turbo, h22, 100 shot nos, and can still look show.

Hmmm, it all depends. if money weren't an issue, then it would go like this for me:

Import- thats a tough one, it would prolly be either a fully decked Civic, Integra, or should I say it... a Skyline.

Domestic- Definately a 67 Mustang like "Eleanor"

Euro- a hard decision between a BMW M3 or M5, or a Benz S55

Truck/SUV- Escalade XLT with all the trimmings: 24s, TVs, subs, all the BLING i could muster!

BUT THATS NOT GONNA HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON. i'm broke as a joke for the next 35 years of my miserable life...

No, that is the 3rd Gen RX-7. The 2nd Gen RX-7 was an 80's car through and through.

I would love to get a 1995 300ZX Twin Turbo. I had an '85 and it was AWESOME!!! Would mind having a 5th Gen Civic Coupe and swap the engine out. Can't go wrong with either one of those!

For a Euro car, I'd love to tune up a Porsche 914, i'd be cool to try and fit a boxter engine in that.
For a domestic, I'd tune up a 67 Camero, paint it all black, get huge *** rear tires, and flare the fenders.

Why use a boxter enginge when you can fit a small block V8 in them?

My dream project car would be to have a brand new black C5 Corvette Z06, and buy the 602 ci (9.8L) Chevy crate motor that has 725 hp right out of the box, put that into the Z06, and then twin-turbocharge it. It would easily have 1,000 hp, and I'd wreck anyone on the street, not to mention it would sound like thunder
