If I had to keep my car I'd just use Jared's (blakt out) and duplicate his setup.

Otherwise as stated previously - I'd sell and get on the wait list for a 997.2 GT3 RS and a 458 etc...

I wouldn't mod my car... what I'd do with unlimited funds:

-buy a large, sweet hangar-type garage with every possible facility
-buy one of every year, color and type of Supra and keep them bone stock
-buy another of each and mod the hell out of them
-waste inordinate amounts of cash on my own road/drag racing teams with, of course, Supras
-R&D parts
-work on creating a full carbon fiber Supra, R&D a larger engine using the existing 2JZ as a sample

And so forth

If I stick with my car:
20" OZ Ultraleggera HLT
Rinspeed Aerokit
Coil Springs
Best Detail you can get for money and a clear bra on top
and wrapped the whole interior into Alcantara, Leather and Carbon.

Its not too crazy, but that is the stuff I would do

Ok you guys will think I am crazy but here goes!

Engine:
NRE Race Engines built 441 C5R block stroker motor with Lunati rotating assembly and ETP heads with Jessel Nascar rockers and built beyond Nascar spec. Balanced and blueprinted of course. Precision Power 80mm ball bearing turbo's / Hogan sheet metal LSX intake/ Kooks long tubes/ custom 3 inch x pipe/ Corsa Race catback with boost activated electric cutouts. Electromotive Tec3R engine management with boost reference per gear selection also tied into Racetronics traction control and able to adjust boost per traction conditions. NRE dual fuel injector system with alcohol/ methanol / E85 capability from a standalone fuel system. 150 shot of nitrous to cool intake charge and spool turbo's and also tied into intercooler spray system to bring down IAT's under boost. Also on demand methanol injection system and 4 boost levels. Valet ( no boost ) street 12 psi race 16 psi kill 20 psi settings.
1700 RWHP in kill settings and with an 8,500 rpm redline. On demand methanol injection.

Transmission:
Hollinger DDB 6 speed sequential strengthened gearbox, with no lift shift and no tractive force loss thru shift. Programmable lockup torque converter setup similar to the Jim Hall design. Actuator controlled paddle shifting and automatic mode or a Veyron spec Ricardo 7 speed DSG depending on availibility and fittment issues.

Fuel Sytem:
Twin Aeromotive A1000's for main fuel system and single A1000 for standalone fuel system. Standalone fuel system built to handle alcohol, methanol, ethanol or E85. NRE race injectors and fuel rails.

Brakes :
ZR1 carbon ceramics with C6R race ABS strategy and connected to factory electronic brake distribution and stability control.

Tires:
track use Hoosier R6's
street use Michelin Pilot Sport Cups 295 front and 345 rear
drag strip ET Streets

Wheels: Dymag carbon fiber wheels and a show set of I forged silver color matched with silver barrels and hardware.

Rear end: C6R housing with 2.56 gears and remote cooling circuit, electronic race strategy fully adjustable locking differential with carbon fiber driveshaft and rear axle shafts.

Exterior:
Similar to now except add C5R widened fenders and C5R front splitter and same wing with adjustable angle of attack center section. Keep the C5R lights but use Mercedes Bi-xenon projectors and HID foglights. Vented C5R race hood and carbon fiber C5R front and rear widened fenders.

Interior:
Carravagio full italian leather interior with built in infotainment system including in dash touch screen computer, wireless network, tv capable. Prosport blue gauges and Stack digital dash in place of factory gauges. Also use C6 heads up display system. Suede roof and center console cover. Carravagio race seats with adjustable back and side bolsters. Harness tied into full roll cage integrated into the windshield surround and doors and interior.

Suspension:
C6 GT3 frame with aluminum frame and steel roll cage, full C6R suspension with C6R uprights/ spindles and ball bearing wheel bearings and pushrod actuated Magnetic Resonance shocks with street/ race/ drag race settings. C6R upper and lower control arms, eliminate the leaf springs. Front would have lift system integrated to keep splitter from scraping.

My goal would be 9.9 @ 155 mph in full street trim and 7 second ET's in kill mode on ET streets. 1.4 G's in the corner on track tires and 1.2 g's on Pilot sports.

LOL - ok now that would be crazy.

I'm kind of liking the idea of a boosted Grand Sport for an inexpensive but really fast car in a straight line and around a track.

Assuming I were to keep my M3... Silly big TT kit with built motor, etc. Would be a fun starting point.

If I had more money i'd pick up a new cayenne turbo s and go a little crazy with power mods. If I had to keep my vw, i'd get a built 2.0 and an insanely large turbo. This 1.8t just isn't cutting it for me.

might as well start from the top instead of modding your way there.

But software is always good
