I dunno, how much will two J69 turbojets in the trunk cost?

You have entirely too much money. Want to sponsor my car?

the flux capacitor! DUH!  Even Doc Brown should know that, haha.
Okay, seriously.
turbo, slicks, stage 3 axles, lsd, and a good suspension. That should get you there.

I don't think you're getting the message. Maybe I was too subtle:
We've all talked about this before.
Several times, in fact. We figured it all out, and it's all saved on this site, waiting for you to read it! We could talk here for weeks before you got all your questions answered, but if you go read the previous threads, you'll know all the answers, and we won't have to hash it out again!
Maybe you're new to the internet, or forums in general. If so, please listen up and pay attention to how they work: all posts are saved, forever. There are large groups of people that are on the forums all the time, and know all the answers - collectively, anyway. They don't want to repeat the same answers over and over again. So they ask new people to go read up and come in a little prepared. That's what we're asking you.
But, I doubt that that's the case. You see, you did two things that tipped me off. Huh, you've only done two things so far at all, so that's not a good batting average, is it?
1)You managed to find the "New Thread" function, but didn't find the threads that say things like "Read me before posting!". Not a good sign.
2)When told - sarcastically, I'll admit - that you needed to go do some reading instead of asking questions like this, you asked yet another stupid question. Ouch, two strikes!
One strike left. Are you going to read instead of posting? I know that posting gets attention now, while reading takes patience, but it's still pretty quick, and you'll get a lot more information. So, if you really want the info, you'll go read. If you just want to make a scene - well, you've got one strike left.

 Good thing you're getting your name "out there". I'm sure people will sign up to buy "Toaster Oven Kustomz" V-8 RWD Contours at $20k a pop now.

Of course it can be done. It won't be easy, it may not be pretty, and it won't be cheap.
As Augie Bush said to Miller when Miller announced that it was going to become the #1 selling beer brand in America: "BRING MONEY".
So that's what you are going to need. Lots and lots of it.
