The 7 speed and new 5.5 bi-turbo motor in the 2011's would be wicked...

If we were building a Riddler car - that would be "the ticket" - but we're building an "every mans" car - one that can be built by anyone... that is friendly that way. LS/blower motor - simple crate stuff - A chassis from Ironworks - nothing too trick in the body - some billet stuff for "bling" and to make it a bit 'wow' - but not overdone...

BTW -- a replacement motor for my car is like $53 GRAND.... and at that price - I'd buy something really badass unless Mercedes was going to be a sponsor!
