My own ultimate s2000 is being built by me at the moment.The only things I haven't got are Te 37s and Nitrons, but I'm sure Dixon could talk me into the Nitrons

My idea is a car that you can sidestep the clutch at 800 hp and nothing will break

My car but with much more mods id add a 7 speed sequential and ultra low ratio diff.. Custom titanium wishbones, solid mounts. Custom Ti roll bars. 18" carbon wheels to accommodate 360 mm carbon brakes and mono block callipers. Bigger gayer wing, canards on canards and more cage

But surely Razz, all that means is more expensive bits to break, of which you have a habit of doing.

I would just like the opportunity to try and break the bits I already have.

I agree with both of you ( and *yabooo to your Mr Nexus ) Cars should be driven, if that's not the point then what IS the point. Surely having the ultimate car would be counter productive as at that point, you'd not need to tinker with it further and at that point you'd want something else instead

For me it would be;

New Indy Yellow Pearl with Rays RE30 wheels in Satin black.

Black leather interior and completely stock.

Reverse engineered narrow angle F20C V8 with sequential gearbox and paddle-shift.

Appropriate upgrade to diff', brakes and suspension.

I guess it would be an S4000 though...

Noooo, you get rid of the best part, the gearbox!
