What would you do with your car? Sell it for something newer? Modify it out the ***? Make it a purpose built drag racer, autoXer, or show car? Keep it and buy another?

Personally I would keep mine streetable, but make it a track beast as well. Probably a twin turbo setup, fully built, bulletproof, forged shortblock with top of the line racing parts (lightweight rods, pistons, low-tension rings, etc.) I'd put some styling on the body in the form of a new hood and front bumper, and I would have a fully custom paint job.

Some people would make thiers full-on race cars, others would make them a show car. I want a race car that I can drive to the show

Default haha ohhhh man

personally, id get a black cobra thannn put a targa top on it

drop a V16 in it like the cadillac (2 V8s really)
a fog machine in my exhaust proooobably AT flowmaster offroad X pipes so theyre always leavin people in the smoke
get some nasty spinner double saleen rims (one chrome one black, i like the sounds of it, twos better than one, 4s better than 8 :violent5:
than id get limo tint all the way around
id just go nuts with that V16 engine i probably paid about 500 grand for :icon_joke and truthfully i dono what could be done to that engine so id do whatever possible, turbos, chip, etc.
and tear out the back seat, throw a nasty sound system in, and make a seat out of some giant like 20' subs than put plexy glass over them so you can see them, make a seat shape outa the plexy glass over the subs and put nice racing seat harnesses on there, so you could blow your ears and sit on 'em ok im getting off the topic so il just post this :violent1:

if money were no object, i would make my cobra into an excellent corner carver and a good performer for the strip. i'd also refine some of the appointments to make things a bit more enjoyable on long trips or even short cruises.

i would consider the purchase of a new car, but then i would have to start all over with the mods.

I would turn my GT into 1500hp beast for the strip..... Then I would get both the old and the new Shelby 500... And someone had to say it, a 69 Camaro and if they come out with the new Camaro that is going to look like the 69... Then I would spend all my time racing all over the world.

Im with W01 on that last post lol....To much rice we need some more muscle cars even with the new GTO. If money were no object...lets see keep my car and plans for it. Fix up my 1966 chevy truck thats setting here. Buy the new shelby and make it to where no one can handle it...buy a bunch of old cars including Hemi Cuda, 68 GTX, GTO(Goat), Roadrunner, SuperBird, GT500 and a 69 Camaro SS, and restore them to original.
