i've always liked the opel gt's. nice looking body.

mine would be a 85gsl-se with a chevy 350 slapped in it! ha ha. j/k

for the longest time mine was what i wanted. a dependable built 12a motor in a sa body. then i got tired of it and wanted more. now i want even more. so my goal now is to do a 13bt swap. details i can't say cause it will not happen for 2 to 3 years. but i want 400+ out of it. so right now when i get tired of mine i drive my wifes and appreciate mine alot.

i want a black fb on tan/brown cloth, powered by a fully functional s5 6port, racing beat exhaust, manual steering, no ac, factory radio, limited slip, repu rear-end gearing, and some wheels like this: http://www.redhavana.net/albums/cars/83gsl.sized.jpg

i'd take a close-ratio 6, but the 5-speed would do just fine.

Who do you know in RP? Do they drive an RX?

Mine is two-tone,still havent seen another like it.I got the idea from cars like the NSX,older Eclipses and last Camaros that had black-out roofs.Thats a bad pic to see it in,though.

hmm... dream first gen...

I would have to say, honest to god truth, a showroom quality FB with zero rust and no mods. all original equipment.

Or better yet, a new manufacture of the FB with modern technology but same body/styling/handling/etc.

I'm not huge into the super modifications like some of the others on here are. IMO, if you are going 20b you might as well start from the ground up with tubeframe. You can allways just put fiberglass FB body on it.
