Proper ABS

i think it would be cool to replace all wiring with fiberoptics like they do in modern fighter jets to eliminate alot of weight. $$$ though

what about you guys?
  • Digital dash ala' S2000
  • Carbon fiber hood/body panels
  • Wider tires
  • 7 speed transmission ala Mercedes Benz
  • All-wheel drive?
  • Tiptronic shifters like an F1 car
  • A net/panel/whatever between the rear speaker towers to keep my ****/groceries/tools from flying at me when some tard cuts me off.
  • Missle launcher so I can blow said tard off the road.

I'm surprised someone hasn't said VTEC yet.

Some of this **** is priceless. I would have to agree with whoever said better guages (or more accurate. I forget which it was.)

YES! S2000 Guages / ergonomics, gooood idea

Carbon Fiber, always a plus

Ditch the 7 speed and Tiptronic (tiptronics have no soul!)

I like the net/panel, that should have been factory installed

i'd add some factory aero opption, like a full downforce kit (kinda like the Lotus Elise vs. Exige)

OK, I see, you want full ground effects, I guess there should be full underbody panels too.

There was an aero kit option, but it only consisted of a front lip and sideskirts (I think that is all).

I second that, these threads are a waste of KB's. Too bad we cant have seperate areas for the 2g forums. They would be:

All drifter wanna-be H.S. kids with no taste

and

Old-geezers that know something

Better materials in the body construction, the FC could be a lot lighter than it is. Aluminium and magnesium FTW!
