Anythings 'allowable' with infinate money, including a CRX with a Bugatti W-16. But anyway I would take an NSX, put a full wideboy kit on it (like the JGTC race cars), along with a full race suspnsion,brake, transmission setup and put in a F1 engine in it with a twin turbo setup and AWD.

If I were to play fair and do only allowable mods, then a Black Lamborghini Diablo GT, with a fully built bored and stroked twin turbo engine with approx. 2000whp (somehow).

Re: What would u do to a car with infinate money

If you had infiinte money, why fuck with a production car or engine? If money was 'limitless' I'd go to an engine designer and have them make the most powerful engine human technology can make at the moment, (that was small enough for a car), then go to a race chassis shop and have them build the chassis around the engine and design it for a top speed of 300+ at least. Yada yada... if money were no issue, you'd be dustin F1 cars, not building a 'street' machine.

Re: What would u do to a car with infinate money

I'd probably have a huge ass collection of pure exotics, no modification or something of that sort. If I had that much money, tuning would seem like nothing but bull crap. I could buy the best!!! Think about it...

Re: What would u do to a car with infinate money

I'd buy a dumptruck, and carry around infinite amounts of money in it to spend anywhere I want.

Or.. I'd just rack up a bunch of negligent driving tickets..

I never understood lowring a truck, what's the use of a truck if you can't haul stuff and go off-road?

Anyway, if I had infinite money to spend on a car (I guess I'll just make it more specific), I would modify a Mustang into a 2-seater and place the engine behind the driver. Not sure which year would have enough space between the front seats and the rear-axle for that to work without modifying the exterior look, but not matter what a V-drive will probably be required, unless someone knows a better way to join a tranny and the drive axle in such a small space.

Basically have a whole new chassis, engine, well, actually a whole new car except the exterior shell, everything inside would have to be completely new.

Not sure WHY I would do this, but something about owning the world's only mid-engine Mustang appeals to me. Not to mention if the placement is good enough, it would greatly improve the weight distribution in the car. Obviously the engine must put out tons of power and tons of torque also.

Not sure if he changed the title, but now that I look at it, he did specify infinite money to spend ON A CAR.

Which still means infinite money, with infinite money of course you are going to buy one of every car ever made.

With infinite money, I'd start my own cable TV network to broadcast live races of all the racing series I like. And I'd put up ridiculously huge prize money. And I'd start a company to build sprint car and supermodified chassis at obscenely low prices so that lots of people can participate.

My chassis designers would be Jim Bodnar, Clyde Booth, Tony Beaber, and Rory Byrne. I'd single handedly turn ISMA Supermodified racing into America's new #1 motorsport, with Speed World Challenge a close second.

I'd buy all of the Audi R8's and enter them in some county fair's demo derby, ensuring that they can never be entered in motorsport again.

I'd buy out all of the free floating late model stock car orginazations like Sunoco Super Series and the Main Event Late Model Series and merge them into one series with one set of rules.

I'd donate a ton of money to Mid Ohio and Nelson's Ledges to renovate their road courses to Formula One level.

I'd personally win the Indy 500.

And I'd own Nick Mason's personal Ferrari 250GTO (chassis number 6877, if I remember right)

But he's asking what you would do to a car, so even if you're spending the infinite money elsewhere, that's not what's he's asking, so you're just including irrelevent information.

Re: What would u do to a car with infinate money

I have always dreamed of designing and building my own production car. It would definately be a super car. I would make it completely out of carbon fiber, and hook up my own designed 60v V12 power plant. Transmission would be a manual that could switch to paddle somehow, and would be the worlds first 8 speed. nough said!
