OK, I'd like this to turn into a contest, so if anyone else wants to join in, please do! :) Afterwards, we can turn this into a poll and have the full deal. Only rules that will apply is that the background may not be changed and the chopped pic must be the same resolution as the original.
I took the 2006 Civic and thoroughly redesigned it. I know it's only a side-view chop, but give me time, still learning the ropes. ;)
Also, some technical changes I would've made:
Take two S2000 engines, re-engineer them to form a 4-litre V8 with roughly 350kW and 420N.m. Increase the rpm-ceiling to about 10000. Make liberal use of berrilium in the engine material.
Convert the drivetrain to be RWD. 4WD also an option, but personally I prefer RWD.
Beg Honda to create a 6 spd. twin-clutch manu-matic paddle-shifter and fit that.
Fit double-wishbone suspension all round.
Replace roof with CF unit, replace all cockpit glass with Plexiglass units, remove rearseats, replace frontseats with Carbon Kevlar reinforced racing buckets.
Fit Carbon Kevlar rollcage.
Remove sound-system and other items such as satnav.
Remove airbags and instead replace standard seatbelts with multipoint harnesses.
Replace hood and boot with CF units.
Replace standard bumpers with Carbon-plastic units.
Replace doors with CF units.
Fit engine behind front wheels' baseline.
Fit the gearbox at the rear diff. Target weight distribution: 51:49 f:r.
Fit magnesium O.Z. racing wheels fitted with 265/35 ZR 19s (f) and 295/30 ZR 19s (r). Tyres: Michelin Cup semi-slicks.
Lastly, go humiliate some Ferrari, Lambo and Porsche drivers... :D
Oh yeah, don't forget the Carbon-Ceramic brakes!
Man I keep forgetting stuff! Make sure the underside of the car is clean, in other words F1 racecar clean. Nothing that will interfere with the airflow beneath the car, except maybe two NACA-style ducts to feed cool air to the rear-discs. Also, make sure a functional rear aerofoil is fitted to the boot, as well as a truly monstrous rear-diffuser, hell yeah!
