There are many other cars I'd love to own, but these came to mind.

No such car was made.

You have 3 motors in your car?!?!?

Sure!

I'll have a turbo-prepped B16A2 on hand, an all motor B18C5 on hand, and a supercharged B18C1 on hand.. and have a magical device where I press a button and it installs it in my car for me!

Just kinda poking fun. I've got a rubber-bumpered 914 that has been de-smogged (retrofitted to pre-smog-pump specs) myself. It's kind of sad what happened with cars when emissions laws first came about.

i wonder with all the people who want the TT cars... do any of them realize that the TT versions aren't the ones with all the power? the ones with the power are the big single turbos... i know i used to think 2 turbos are better than 1... but i've learned....

Restored Datsun 510 with a SR20DET and modified suspension with nice meaty tires. Also the chassis would be stiffened with braces.

Additionally there would be other 510s, one powered by a Chevy smallblock or HEMI :Q , one powered by a 13B rotary, and one powered by the original L26 that may be modified. All would have chassis stifening (especially on the HEMI powered one).

Also there would be a normal car such as an Accord/Maxima/Altima/6.. and maybe an M5.

mmm....510..

Yeah, specially when they pass you on your motorcycle in the rain...LOL

You'd be surprised to see what modern sportbike tires are capable of, even in the rain. Remember that they race on those things and pull lap times practically as fast as they do on hot dry pavement.
