The Ultimate GS, what you should plan:

Start with a plain, high mileage well maintained GS3

1. Engine: I know you said that you missed the power of your C5 vette, Supra TT Engine with 6-speed Manual Transmission. Deck that baby out with a single turbo kit with a T88, 6-spd and custom everything. I know since you live in florida Toyomoto can do the swap for you.
2. Wheels: Pick yourself a nice set of HRE's, nice deep dish 20's staggered set-up with custom widebody fenders putting yourself some nice 9 inch in the front, 11.5 inch wide in the back.
3. Body: You pick, each person has they're own opinion on what looks good and all. I would personally pick the full Lsportline kit with front, rear, and side skirts from Lsportline, A Veilside exec rear spoiler, and the roof spoiler of your choice. Veilside hood, and whatever else you want.
4. System: I don't know if you are keeping your Alphasonic system, but If not, here is my dream system:

3 13" W7's, 2 JL 1000/1 amps, Focal top of the line Utopia's running on two nice JL 300/2 amps. For the headunit, I would get the new Alpine touchscreen DVD unit that is coming out in a couple months, the Alpine F1 status EQ, then get custom headrests made with some giant kenwood 8.5" touchscreen headrests. Get some alpine screens in the visors,
5. Interior: Get some custom two-tone leather, real clean though, nothing too gaudy. If you want, do a custom fiberglass dash, I saw that on a supra and it looks real slick if your not going with a gaudy color.
6. Suspension: Go with some nice Tein's of your choice and then deck out the rest with some strut braces and sways, the whole nine yards on the suspension
7. Lighting, I know you had a killer lighting system on your old car, so go that same with with a boatload of neons and all that.

Can't think of any other aspects of the car I'm missing but that would be my dream GS

Yeah, that would be the shiat GS, just something I've been dreaming up when I look at all the nice GS's

Well, since you dont wanna try my ultimate GS project , I'd say get some nice HRE's, 20's staggered of course, and then two tone leather, I don't think that would be more than 2k, then just slap the SRT stage 2 turbo on it and you'll be set. Then depending on what you want to do with the body, a nice classy kit
