    Unlimited budget

    What car would you mod if you had an unlimited budget?
    Would it be possible, to play forever?
    The conclusion reached was that a player is inevitably doomed to lose.

    Unlimited budget? I would probably take the chassis of a Ferrari Enzo, an have everything else custom-made. Body shell, engine, tranny...everything.

    I wouldn't mod anything I'd just put so much pressure on Jaguar they'd have to sell me the only XJ13 in existance. Now that is a unique/sexiest ever car.

    Can't afford the real thing? Go for a replica

    I must agree... that is a devastatingly good-looking machine.

    What would you do with a car like an Enzo???
    Would it be possible, to play forever?

    Well, it would only be the chassis of the Enzo, because it would make for a great platform. Everything else would be made to my specifications around that.

    The only reason why I said the Enzo is because you asked us to pick any car to mod. It wouldn't count as modifying a car if I started from scratch

    EDIT: I've changed my mind. I'll start with the chassis and powertrain of the BMW/Williams 2004 F1 entry

    i'd put a ferarri V8 in the mid of an old VW GTI and turbocharge it, or maybe put a V12 into a corvette Z06.

    Actually, I like the idea of that sleeper. I think I'd take a Mazda 323, and do an entire chassis and powertrain conversion, with the engine mounted transversely where the back seats used to be.

    The Lexus V8 tuned like Wally Larson's LE-1 Groundfighter, nestled nicely at around 2000hp. I'd get replicas made of the stock wheels, except larger, with extremely wide tires in the rear. This car would look as utterly stock as possible.

    The custom exhaust's main outlets would be hidden underneath the sides of the car, except for a small portion looped out of the stock exhaust. Efforts would be made to keep the couple thousand horses as silent as possible, at least until it's under (relatively) hard throttle.

    Who would suspect that?

    mmm...

    I would extract the V12 575 Maranello engine. Next, I would open a hole, modify a Lotus elise and place the V12. And finally I would get the 650 Kg / 515 bhp (that's about 1.2 weight-power ratio) little roadster to go for a G test

    Actually, a stock European Elise 111S tips the scales at 806kg. With the added weight of the Ferrari V12, it would be more than 900kg. Anyways, good luck making that engine fit

    a W8 would probably fit into an elise, but a W12 like i said i'd want before might not fit, W8s are pretty short but pretty wide.
