I'd have a wrc spec car built(Engine management, drivetrain, suspension, body, interior, etc) w/ longer gear ratio's and have the engine built for more hp/tq(500+). Have someone put whatever body kit I wanted on it and carbon/mag wheels w/ a couple set of top of the line tires and brakes for whatever season/condition I'd drive my car in.
I like to dream big. It's not too often you'd be able to make a grocery getter an insanely built car.

Full STI swap with FMIC so I could keep my rs hood and be all stealth and what not. Body repair and repaint RBP. Powder coat my Brembos in a BRP with way more pearl. I'd have to figure out which ones they were but Bride seats I sat in, in an other car, that were WORLDS more comfy than the stock seats I have. I'd have custom boxes made for my subs so I could still have a trunk. A better stereo dec than what I have now, preferably touch screen, gps, wifi, etc. This is my goal that I hope to hit in a few years. I hope to always have my bugeye.

I would do a full cosy build on the 207. Do a 2.2, sleeved, rotated turbo set up, Reverse cosy manifold, 6-speed dog box straight cut gears, 4 Hoosier white walls Ect, ect
.... Lol I would have the car stripped down to the frame and do a full carbon fiber or lightweight material build up. Maybe make the frame carbon fiber.

If money didn't matter, the only "modification" I'd make is to get rid of my bugeye and get a Pagani Huayra.
Edit: Coke and ****** would also work.

You DO know what that is a photo of, right?
Function > Form, not the other way around, friend.
(Trying really hard not to call you the "n" word right about now -- and not the racist one )
