For me it would have to be a carbon/kevlar 1600 shell over a chrome moly space frame with a reversed mid mounted rb26 with a 600hp opcon rota supercharger pushing air straight thru a water/air intercooler making grunt from just off idle to 10,000rpm (to my ears nothing sounds better than a 6 living at 10,000rpm except for a 12 at double that).A 6 speed full seqential holinger with electro magnetic front/rear and centre diffs with inboard bembo brakes.Double wishbone suspension allround with proflex shocks and active hollow chrome moly swaybars.An autronic or maybe motec ecu with a motec dash(a friend just put one in his evo7 and its pure sex)Run on a diet of C16 and a driver thats been sniffing the fuel.
