what are YOUR goals for your car?

I know i can never decide on what i want to do with my car. Its a toss up between the ultimate drag car, the ultimate track car and the perfect street car, kinda impossible huh

So what are your goals? Street, Track? Dead Bone Stock? What?

In the winter I plan on putting it into the body shop for a freshening up. The 13 year old paint is really starting to look depressing, and the dents don't help either. While it's there, I'm thinking about sending the engine off to be rebuilt, with some streetporting. I'm also thinking about a small shot of nitrous, maybe only a 50-shot, along with a microtech to help manage it. Basically, it's gonna be a street car, but watch for the puff of nitrous from the cowl.

Street car that gets me attention from the cops and ricers . . . and can run a low 14 at the strip while being a beast at the track.

My ultimate goal for my car is and has always leaned more toward a factory special approach. Nothing too crazy, but significantly more than stock. I'm sure you guys know what I mean.

Sounds kinda like what I have planned, minus the nitrous.

Build up a n/a drift machine that can slide nice and smooth and still take most of the people on the strip if i decided to go for a cruise.

Im shooting for a large streetport, roughly 240 ponies and a really nice black paintjob.
Maybe just maybe($) a Kaminari bodykit
My car allready handles great, so now it just needs to be good looking

My goal is to reach 12's in the quarter, cuz i mean how fast do you really need to go? Also to have a good track car. Future mods im planning are; more fuel, going with a good hybrid turbo setup, a nice big shinny FMIC, a Haltech possibly. As far as suspension mods I really want to get a Tien system, then some really nice light weight rims, like vollks perhaps or similar.
I have a daily driver, so my FC can be used on weekends only if i want, and i can work on it a lot easier while having another car.

i dont know what i want

i have my beater cavalier..

.. and my GXL is suppost to be one of those cars-you-have-that-you-treat-the-way-an-old-man-would-with-glimmering-paint-and-washing-it-every-3-days.

and that type of car is one you usually leave close to stock..

i would like to buy another rx7, and have it seriously modded for street/strip (but still streetable) and have the GXL that i have now that would be more practical, (ie - retaining the power steering, etc ) but still quick.. cause its a 7..

im a little torn though.. i just start thinking about the mods i want to experiment with, and then i think "well, should i REALLY do that to THIS rx7?"

not to mention the stereo equipment i have already for the rx7, so that hinders me really from having a true-race-machine.. its more of a speedy cruiser.. which is what i WANT out of THIS GXL.. but then again...

anyone know what im talkin about?!

Viperkiller...I never said anything about nitrous, I have NO PLANS WHATSOEVER for nitrous. I'd never do that to a car, I'm not fond it nitrous despite what it can do. But thanks for agreeing .

Black 13B I guess I shoulda said my entire idea also, I too want a 2nd car that I can just go crazy with (most likely still N/A). I like to have one car that's more a factory special, and one that's just what I consider the epitome of what I want from the car.

If the car runs a high 14 I'm very happy with it, even an extremly low 15 will be fine (but I'd rather have the 14).
