if you're going turbo you wont need headers or an intake.

That mod list + labor to install and get it all working reliably will cost a hell of a lot more than $40,000. Including the cost of the car you are approaching what you could get a used Bentley Continental GT for!!!!!!

i could buy a 996 turbo for that price, but then i'd have to mod that and it would cost a fortune.

for all the people saying they would buy another car, consider that you're given everything you wanted for free and you couldnt buy another car with the money.

+1...i thought that was obvious, since you mentioned the word "mod"...it's not "what would you do with $1000000?"

If money were no object...

I'd get a car designer to design me the best looking car in the world, with parts made of the best materials that could be found on earth.

Then, i'd hire NASA rocket scientists to build me an engine with roughly 1500hp/1500tq and weighs less than an s2000 engine.

Then, I'd have them alter parts of the body to make the body more Aerodynamic than an F1 Race car.

After that, suspension and braking... all designed by top NASA scientists.

End product -

1500hp/1500tq 2400lbs vehicle with the most track capable suspension and braking system in the world...

I'd put a Z emblem on it somewhere just so i could say its a modded Z... money no object.

let me get even more specific then, you also have to mod it with off the shelf parts available somewhere in the world.

Sorry. What I was trying to say is if I were to get a turbo, I would be set on APS as my brand. But If I'm not goin turbo, I'm still deciding what brands I would get for my intake, exhaust, headers, etc. Although I'm not set on exhaust brand though, I am definitely getting an exhaust regardless of turbo or not. I'm leaning towards HKS now for exhaust, but waiting for it to get somewhat cheaper.
