    No more unlimited budget!

    That was just a brain teaser.
    What car would you buy and mod, if you wanted to, with 200K dollars (or the equivalent in your country's currency)?
    Would it be possible, to play forever?
    The conclusion reached was that a player is inevitably doomed to lose.

    you need to be more reasonable....you could easily mod out just about any car for 200k....

    now, say 30k or even 20K TOTAL and you've got a challenge...what would give you the most bang for your buck?

    That being said, I'd take an audi ur-quat and turn it into an s1.
    And Iraaaaaaaaaaaan

    Iran's so far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...

    With 30K I could mod a Civic, but in the end it would still be a Civic only. So it wouldn't be that fun.

    With those sweet 200K, I'd go crazy over an M3. Maybe I could even swap engines with the M5.

    For 200 large I'll take the home grown Monaro (equivallent of the latest GTO) + pacemaker extractors
    + 3" twin exhaust with hi flow cats
    + cold air induction
    + blower (not real fussy on the type)
    + Coil over shockers lowered ever so slightly
    + 19" rims of currently un decided type.
    + serious brake upgrade
    + the remainder on a Mark Levinson sound system.

    No body kit or spoilers,
