WTF was that?

[_Charles_]

So I'm cruising down hillsborough ave today, and I look in my rearview mirror. I see what appears to be a 1978 'Smokey and the Bandit' Trans-am. Cool. Then I notice it has an intercooler. I'm like Awesome. Than I notice it's a S13 hatch with the Trans am front end 'grafted' onto it, and It's plastered with XAT stickers, and Casey is driving it. WTF?

Sorry, no pics.

seen in, looks like poopie.

[mranlet]

You must be on crack, there is no such thing. Casey drives a silver Maxima on 18s that he picked up at auction.















;)

[paul kersey]

[Durdan]

i couldt believe it when i heard it. but everytime i stopped by there to see it, casey was out running from smokey in it with some chick that looks like sally fields.

[Epstein]

[Mars_302]

[JC86]

har har that car is a beast

[hachibill]

dude, i think its cool as shit!!!! i like it. i'm thinking of doing a fox body front on a coupe for the new sil conversion. i'll drive the rig and be the "snowman" bwahahahahahahahahaha i love those movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Silvia_San]

screw that put a 68 dodge charger front on a 240 coupe. hottness!

[hachibill]

lol hahahahaahahahah,omg that song is the hot!!!! casey, yo better where the hat when your at ocala!!!

[aphxero]

haha I see it every day and the more I do the more I love it!

I did all the electronics and suspension on the "bandit". It's a fun car.

Would you believe me if I said it has a V8? Everyone will see it soon enough.

Man if it's causing this much of a stir I can't imagine what people are gonna say when they see the lexota.

[_Charles_]

Well, I never said anything bad about it, just 'WTF'. I'm still undecided. I didn't get a very good look at it...but it was def different.

Charles

[180sx-I]

I saw it too! I don`t know if its cool or not. I guess i will have to see it run. Which V8 engine does it have?

[JC86]

the lexota is nuts too i want to see what becomes of it.

[lillzilla]

thinking outside the box ~ T/A 240 FIRE~CHICKEN .....

[aphxero]

well, it's not a V8 I was only joking. But it does make V8 power and torque!


No not an sr. That would be just wrong.

[mranlet]

It does outpower the 5.7l T/A motor by a huge margin.

It's a chink in derka's clothing.

[Mars_302]

acutally it was a 6.6 liter that made a whooping 180 hp I recall

[hachibill]

KA= big block, well for a 4cyl anyway's. and all the best 5.0 mustang ever put out was like 225hp.

[Mars_302]

245 ;)

[craig_302]

I need pics...it has to be better than the Fox Mustang front on the 240 I saw online.

[Mars_302]

After seeing one, I wanna do a Fairmount Duranago with a 87+ mustang front clip on it

[piner]

thats just as bad as putting a s15 front end on my celica

[craig_302]

Is that basically a LTD wagon (the fox chassied one)?

its a fairmount truck :D

[craig_302]

Ah yes. :lol:

[hachibill]

^ hahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahah WTF? why not a rancharo or el camino with either the mustang or camaro fronts??????????

ohh and its pretty bad in 84,85,and 86 that the SVO 4cyl turbo made more power and almost as much tq as the 5.0 of the same year. ow3d!

Cause a mustang and a fairmount are essentially the same damn car. You could bolt up a road race suspension, drop in a efi turbo 302, then on top of that, its a complete bolt on to change the front fenders, bumper and hood.

So for very little effort, I could have a mustang truck, that handles and makes lots of power

and how much power were toyota making back then ? ;)

In 86, it put down somewhere around 220 but not even close on torque compaired to the 5 liter. It did have 4 wheel disk brakes which didn't surface again until 1993 on the Cobra. How sad is that?

[ZENKone]

the lexota is gonna be sickkkk,i cant wait to see.

[redinjuns]

my 78 had 220hp@3800 but 370foot lbs @ 2400, i think they were lying about the horsepower. The automatic cars had the 180hp motors. I could start that car in 3rd and not realize it until i tried to shift into 3rd, wondering where the hell my other 2 gears went.
