1. **Information** Make: Buick Model: Grand National Year: 1987 Engine: 3.8 Liter, Turbocharged and inter-cooled V6 Transmission: Slushbox 2. **List modifications intended.** 25lbs of boost, and whatever reliability modifications are required.(Still learning more) 3. **Why this is the car of your dreams** Ultimate bad ass car. If I didn’t know cars I would never expect that car to be a screamer. Fastest US production car in it’s day, it’s still faster than a lot of cars on the market stock and has a very good potential to be modified.

You would obv know better than I though 🙂 Drive a Firebird formula/Trans am some time. You will then realize an M3 is the equivalent of a Bently luxury wise in comparison. I guess it’s a matter of view points, I think any bmw is a fantastic car. They steer very well, and ride like they are on rails yet are still very comfortable. ---

Of course, a fucking covered wagon is an upgrade over that pile of shit, and luxo/sport coupes go, M3’s are not luxurious at all. BMW’s are fantastic cars but if its comfort and overall luxury your after, Id look someplace else. ---

He got it back, but the girl painted flowers all over it… ☹ As for the OP: “Unlimited” 1. Information: Mosler MT900S 2. Mods intended: Swap LS6 for short deck twin-turbo LSX block - shooting for ~1000-1100hp 3. Why? It’s a kick-butt American, which doesn’t have to make excuses as it is. It’s also Car and Driver’s current Lightning Lap leader/record holder (and they parked it early). And besides that, it’s different from all the “given” supercars. “Realistic” 1. Information: Locost homebuilt using turbo 2.0DI LNF Ecotec. 2. Mods: Arguably, it’s all one giant bag of mods 3. Why? It’s my fantasy, I want to build it myself.
