      if this was your car and you had a million dollars what would you do?

      Hi my name is Eric and this is my ride. I have been working on the car for years now and driving it everywhere the goal is to make a top notch car to be built in my garage. I thought it would be a cool idea to have people write there ideas on the car on what they would do to the car if you had a million dollars and you could spend it all on this car what would do to it to make it the coolest car in the world ?????? I would like you guys to dig deep into the creativity and don't hold back.
      WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO MAKE THIS THING WICKED COOL?????????

      I'm a simple guy so I would take the lake pipes off and drive the wheels off of it, invest the million into a well equipped home shop and build all the cars on my bucket list!

      Nice car!

      I think that I would have the best garage built for it with heat and air that way on the days that the weather is to bad to drive it you will at least be comfortable while cleaning it on a daily basis.

      Build a new frame so you could fit some 335s all the way around. Lsx454 for power, 4l80 transmission, independent suspension all the way around.

      Get rid of the flame paint job and the side pipes. Buy a new lt1 vette, take everything engine related out of it and put it in your car.

      keep it, flat black white& lime green pinstriping on hood and deck lid with some lime green 15 inch smoothie wheels, and then buy a 2 door and give it full P/T treatment, 18&20 wheels with a twin turbo lsx custom interior with all the usual creature comforts

      Be a rebel, and keep the flames and lake pipes (but run an underbody exhaust).

      Rebuild the frame to fit a Vortech blown LS7, C6 Vette torque tube, 6 speed manual transmission and custom IRS. Weld the frame to the body and add a roll cage that is mostly hidden to stiffen it up.

      Set the engine back to make room for a large intercooler to run the blower through. Run E85 and tons of boost.

      I would leave the body largely stock but build some big tubs for 345/30ZR19 in the rear. I would have the front fenders, hood, deck lid and doors rebuilt in carbon fiber to save weight. The whole car would go on a diet to get the weight down.

      Run carbon ceramic ZR1 rotors and ZR1 calipers.

      I guess I just don't fit in the same box. I like this body style. The X-frame allows them to be lowered much more than other full-frame cars.

      However, I must agree that a 2-door hardtop is much more appealing than the 4-door post.

      If I had a million dollars I would not start a new thread about the same car 400 times. Just a little ribbing.

      You seem to have some creativity based on the turbo build, but if you are looking for people ideas on what you like then you always miss the mark. What do you like? By the time you join a trend, it's usually near it's end. Try something new and you might be the trend setter.

      Great idea. Only it would be good to put $850,000 in the bank, build a nice garage, and give $100,000 to me to support my build.

      I would remove the lakepipes, raise the back 1 1/2 inches so it has a rake to it. Paint it black. Install air conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, add fuel injection and overdrive trans.
