Default I need a faster car...

As of yesterday, both of my parents will have much faster cars than me.

But ya know, I gotta keep up with the competition. Before, I could outrun (kinda) my dad's nismo'd Q45, but he has a new toy now. A much faster toy.



Has the day come when alexf20c will trade in his S?

So what are my options? And this time, I need something with mod potential (I prefer NA over FI).

Perhaps I could stuff a C32B in a CRX?

You have the money. Stuff that NSX engine, convert to RWD, build a nice custom Turbo with all the works, stripped interior except for 1 seat and one steering wheel, take out all the unneeded things, yes you've got yourself a sleeper there.

Nah, I'd stay NA with a C32B. An 800hp NA 3.2 is much more impressive than a 1000hp TT 3.2, right?


But seriously, I'm kinda looking at S54 M Coupes, Z06s, 911 C4, or maybe even a 350z... I like all-motor.

Yeah you are going to get a 800HP N/A 3.2 that will be daily drivable.

Correction possibly Dario. Are you talking about the GT 40 or then new car the GT since the owner of the GT 40 name wanted 40 million to let ford call the new supercar the GT 40.
