Default what should the c3 "mate" with?

Im bored. So I got to thinking(I know I know, but bare with me).

What could you combine with the C3 to make it the ultimate super car(lets assume it isn't already :) ). It should be something you could drive regularly and not get eaten with gas or replacing tires every month. Here is what I think.

A viper v-10 with the running gear, suspension, side pipes, and electronics. 17x8 tires in the front, and 17x9 or 10 in the back. perhaps a turbo on it all. The interior would be C3, with updated gagues, and the exterior would be stock looking. I think it would be fun to pull up next to a viper and sound identical, run identical, steer identical, but look a million times better.

C5 chasis. Aston martin vanquish interior, and a Twin turbo inline 6 ;) yeah, a hopped up supra motor, and of course the beautiful C3 body (take your pick on the year) on top. Take it easy, my friend has a hot supra and it is sweet for a performance daily driver.

That takes all the fun out of it. I would like to put a c3 body on a Z06 chassis with a Supercharged BB Hemi engine in it. And modified to fit 315s all the way around. With the interior from a Ferrari 360 Modena (I rode in one this weekend). :D :cheers:
