Default Cool car projects and mad engines swaps

What would be your dream projects and whit what engine would you use.
I myself would like opel manta whit lightweight powerfull engine like subaru ej 25 series engine whit forged internals decent size turbo fmic etc.
And whit proper suspension huge brakes custom running gear carbon fibre prop shaft and proper aero package shaft that works and os giken 6 speed sequential gearbox and the engine wil be mouted as back as possibe it will be mid engined and the gearbox will be mounted in the rear just like most good racing cars,
Power output would be somewhere round the 600 hp mark maby more for dragracing.
And i will use whit for most events wit out making to much changes to the setup.
Like roadcourse/circuit dragstrip and the street.

I don't want a car whit any traction problems that is just a waste of money and tires.
And if mine runs a low 10 et on the dragstrip i will be happy.

This would a good starting point.
For my project.

Impressive project but it don't want a drag race monster.
That corners is where it's at for me.
