Is this a bad cross between bugatti and pagani? Sorry, I just had to

I would do a nice 2 rotor. It would have a custom supercharger, probably 15-20 psi. Fully tuned ecu, and of course all the extras. That would be my street car.

Track car would be a 911GT2, of course.

All CF body, wide-body, fender flares, etc...basically he wants to turn his dream car into a race car just like the rest of us

Perhaps the rants and ravings of a 16 year old kid who's read one too many web pages any thinks they know everything rotary now?
what possible good could come from posting this? there has been no harm done by making this thread. You do know its ok to dream once in a while, right?

i would buy one of those pettit banzai editions, and have someone custom make it into a widebody (that would look similar to the mazdaspeed except wider). with unlimited money i would prefer that other people do the work, hehe. i would keep my current, almost stock, fd for a daily driver.

I would quit my job and dedicate myself to cars. I would start by getting my hands on the original Mazda design program for the FD (what ever CAD-type of program it could be) and begin updating the mono-cocque (spell?) frame of the car to be much stiffer and made entirely of carbon fiber, and some sort of super-alloy. Then the design would be altered further to incorporate a widebody profile. the suspension geometry would be altered to create a wider footprint to fill out the wide body. 19s all around. 3 rotor engine with twin GT35/40 turbos. Traction control derived from F1, and a semi-automatic transmission derived from the new Ferrari 360 Modena Stradale, with the race option that automatically blips the throttle to match the gear you select. Lambo doors. Liquid-cooled intercooler, probably in a V-mount design. Am I forgetting something?.....

A renesis swap for it's benefits w/ a bit of mods to the car for more power. I'd redo my interior pieces for a more comfortable touch/feel, a nice redone paint job (along with 99 conversion bumper/spoiler, sleepy HID headlights, scissor door conversion and full carbon fiber body panels), completely flat underbody, bigger wheels and tires, and a well working GPS system. A full lifetime warranty, some money left over for little things I missed, and random fines I may pick up as well won't hurt.



And to get really extreme, I'd like a button that I can push, that would make my car fold up, so I can put it in my pocket like the Jetsons.

Innocent blue mica, 99' front end and tails, Feed hood ,Feed wing, 20B spooling a T78 or T88, 6 Speed Tranny, everything polished under the hood, Suspension and brake upgrades, a nice cd player, nice speakers. Maybe a HUD boost gauge, and just for the sake of being differnt a targa top would be pretty damn cool.

Ditto, Ferrari V12 (any model), quit working, and spend my time doing stuff I like. And buy a bigger house. My 2 car garage is not big enough. 3+ car with a lift...

RX-7 do a 1st class restoration, 350+ hp, modding to keep it streetable/daily driveable. Keep it stock looking. I like the steath look...

RX-7 needs to retain it's sports car poise. Love twisties. I would get something else for a drag car...

But they were trying to accomplish low weight, perfect balance, and optimum handling ability, therefore the 20B =

I would love to see a lifted 7. The concept would be so reversed it would be hilarious. Might as well put a dual exhaust on the fd as well since you have the money (still waiting to see).
