It never helps to think of what kind of car you could've bought with all the money you invested in your current car. Wishful thinking.
Sure you could buy a Corvette if you play your cards right, but sometimes it's about the experience getting there.
Like I said before, you need to get yourself a twin-turbo VK45DE!!!

Here's the game plan to get there...
"...pluck a plus-size 4.5L VK45 V-8 from a Nissan Cima (our Infiniti Q45)...To this end a matched set of HKS GT2835 turbos was plumbed into the mix. To handle the power, VQ30 rods and pistons were employed in the bottom end. Because a twin-turbo V-8 demands massive amounts of fuel and air, two Bosch fuel pumps force-feed Top Secret 720cc injectors while a pair of Pulsar throttle bodies brings in the air. The star of the air/fuel show is the Top Secret original surge tank intake manifold... Keeping everything cool like Fonzie is an ARC radiator and an intercooler set up in a righteous V-mount configuration. When the tuning is complete...will put down in excess of 800 hp! "
Sound familiar...I hope so. Top Secret GT-R! http://superstreetonline.com/feature...505_topsecret/
