Seriously go out and buy a classic Ferrari, Porsche, E Type, Lambo, leave it alone and watch it go UP in value and get just as much if not more pleasure driving it.

Yes it's your money to do what you want with but I just can't see the point in having to have the best when you can barely use it because you are paying some workshop to do all the work on something that is depreciating faster than you can throw money at them.

But good luck in whatever you do & no doubt I will need a triple flame suit from all your fans.

You haven't offended me in any way, I just don't see the point in building something that will be totally useless on Perth roads, you have the perfect car now for your needs.

No doubt BIG fan of F6F but now that's finished I think and as said you should finish the unfinished RW! Then again it's your path and it's full of choices

Since when has modifying cars been an investment? It is all about learning your car, how it works and taking it to the next level to be unique. Ramon has just done that, with nothing less than perfection imo.

But don't forget about those unfinished projects either Ramon, after all you are patiently waiting to finish your San Churros store before you open it.

I really like Kato's idea, Lightweight GC8 shell with that 1000rwhp OMG!!!

Best of both worlds IMO.

Agreed but there has to be a limit and how do you learn about your car when all you do is a bit of research and then throw your wallet open to a workshop, in Tino's case I can appreciate what he has done because he's actually got his hands dirty and done a lot of it himself.

But opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one & being an open forum I've given mine, no doubt most of you disagree with what I have said but I think for his own sake enough money has been thrown down the drain on things that aren't practical. Build a 8sec drag car if you want power, it would be cheaper.

In 3 years will people be saying part out the Typhoon and build that 2,000hp wagon?
