    So with all of my depriciating assets (cars) getting sold recently we are now looking for a new project car.

    We want something that can do all of these things well. I would want at least 1000 hp in the new car. I also would want the best bang for the $$$$$$$$ spent. So getting a Viper ACR and putting twin turbos on it probibly would not be the best bang for the buck. We want big power and not a lot of spool so a 2 liter wont do it. I would say 2.7 liters at a minimum (example: Subaru stroker, lol, 1000 hp in a Subaru ). Just kidding, no 4 cylinders this time, 6 cylinder is the minimum.

    Standing mile
    Roll on race
    Drag race
    Time attack
    Drift, not totally necessary since we already have 2 drift cars.

    i voted c6 z06. here's my reason

    r35 gtr: no. why? its just the new fad and everyone is jumping on board. soon to be too common.
    r34 gtr: no. why? all your big name shops (ie: top secret, jun, etc) have already built it with big power. again, too common.
    z06: yes. why? bang for the buck. there's a TON you can do with the ls7 engine. everything from n/a to big boost is achievable in this facory race car that can still remain streetable
    new ctsv: it was really a tie, imo, btw this and the z06. main reason is big power is easily attained AND nobody has done one yet (to my knowledge). either one would be cool, but i feel the z06 is more of a hardcore racer.
    gt500: less bang for teh buck. much heavier than the c6 from the get go. already boosted to get some good power, not much room for improvement.
    viper acr: amazing car! however, bang for the buck when it comes to modifying isnt there. HELLA EXPENSIVE!
    g8: i love the cars, but they're also too heavy to be a true competitor as a race car. they do make good power tho.
    sc300: maybe. while not as common as the gtr's, its often not respected as a true race car. dont get me wrong, big power can be made, as you guys already know what to do with a 2jzgte. thats a fact.
    ISF: do you really want to start out with well over $300k just for the car? hella dope car, but no where near what i would consider building. also due to low numbers, that bitch would be staying 100% stock if it were in my hands lol.

    Not much room for improvement? Hardly, Livernois Motorsports got 900rwhp out of a 500 with a twin turbo setup on stock internals and block.


    But I can agree the weight distrubution in the 500 is weird as hell.
