thats easy, a frame off restoration of any 70-80s year chevy 1500 2wd regular cab truck.

i would have a new 5.7L (350) SFI V8 (VORTEC) engine and matching tranny put in it like i had in my 1998 silverado that got 19 city and 21 highway mpg. it has the EFI built into a carburetor style throttle body and not the individual injectors for each cylinder.

something like that can be built for around $30-35k most likely

new shite made today is just steaming horse crap

Thatd be sweet. I was thinking of my dads 1981 Silverado, but most of those are probably rusted away by now.

I saw a supercharged F150 at a dealership recently, was like $90k but had 750hp. I’d like to drive that.

Or a Dodge Hellcat.

911 Carrera, though I’d have to consider a Cayman GT4.

Would at least give a Vette Z06 a glance if they’ve solved the overheating issues on the track.

Why do people have to take these types of threads so damn seriously. It’s a simple hypothetical, no need to come in here and act like you’re some responsible adult. In the thread title it says “just for an auto”

Id probably go with either

Z06


Or

M5

I'd buy as many of the cars from the original F&F movie as I could get for 100k$.
