Dream Car

Everyone post your dream specs for your 7, Assume you have as much $$$ as you need, and the time. Anything from engine re hauls too the fuzzy dice on your mirror.
For Example, my Dream RX-7:

Gen-1, stock "+" wheels ( I love them!) Midnight Metallic Grey Color, with dual vented black hood. A Three Rotor TII motor, with Lambo brakes, tight yet, perky suspension, Black Leather interior with Cherry wood shifter and Custom made mahogany steering wheel. Racing seats with racing harness, Nice speaker system without a HUGE woofer, or gaudy wiring, something simple and suave. Nice Top of the line lED Headlights, and racing pedals. It would have non-gaudy little details that would make it stand out in a crowd of other 7's. And would get people to stop on the street and stare.

That thread is getting too long so i'll post here...
Like everyone i have a few versions of my dream, one I'm building right now as seen here: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/project-83-s-restoration-t2-swap-update-624258/
Could I have done some things different? Yes, but this is being built on a budget and its still gonna be sweet, its the car I've wanted to build for a long time.
For those who don't wanna read the whole thread here are the details:

Fully restored 83 shell (no more rust!) with black paint and black interior
S5 T2 engine/trans with a T04B hybrid turbo
3" exhaust
FMIC w/ HKS SSQV BOV
Coil overs up front
Panhard bar and tri link in the back
5 lug T2 brakes front/rear
Momo steering wheel spaced closer to me
Autometer cobalt gauges.
etc etc

The other dream FB's are in the back of my mind waitnig for the right time to be built, you guys will just have to wait until they become reality for those details

Mine would be almost exactly like the Renesis converted SA22, except street-oriented (no roll cage).

I would retain/modify the stock dash gauges, put on a Personal/Nardi Drop Line gear **** and use Recaro Sportlines.

I just bought one of my dream 7's and it didn't cost all the money in the world, every darn mod you can think of and then some... my other dream 7 is a silver 99 spec FD with 400whp and big deep dish wheels.

^Right now, I wish I had that. The key is so worn it falls out of the ignition when going on really bumpy roads.

My dream car - 12A turbo powered FB. 300ish horsepower, Coilovers up front, three link rear in the rear with panhard bar setup.

A bridgeported 12A powered FB racecar would be my other dream car.

The late 78-79 SA22...4speed manual, plaid seats, only rearview mirror would be on the passenger side, and the hood latch on the opposite side. But it'd have to be really clean. Color wouldn't matter. If only it was possible to find one...

Only mirrors were the inside rear view and a drivers side mirror, with the hood prop on the passenger side
