I put this in the lounge because i'm sure it will attract some shit talking.

There are some fast cars in here....Who is "fast"and why?

Post up some combos and don't forget to tell why yours is better.

...and shinysideup, you rant all you want in hur.

 

Ive been told my car is pretty "light" when people see the times. Somehow the powah-train is easy to overlook. Feels fast and fun in the driver seat

 

/\ thats what im talkin about. my old shitter, in my sig ran well for a FULL WEIGHT, cold a/c, power everything, T5 car with stock suspension. All used parts...

 

im slow, slow as can be.....slower than 56k on a Commodore 64 compu

 

My new car will have a stock block, small turbo, efi. I't won't make much more powa, but should be a TON lighter...and a lot safer.

 

Is this just for currently running cars ?

 

are we fast at all?

 

Hypothetical bench racers as well as "wanksta's" are welcome.

 

that's not fair

 

I'm "hoping" to be fast... I'm also hoping to be able to keep Frankie through our pregnancy and first child's arrival

If that's do-able; then the car is going to be safely able to get into the 9's. It's getting the full cage necessary, the window net, the d/s loop, etc. So it'll be legal for about as fast as my wallet would ever let the car go.

Unfortunately, that wallet's going to have an extra hand dipping into it sooner rather than later... Having said that - if I put it together right now - with a set of used heads - I should realistically be able to go mid to low 11's on motor; 10.50's or better on the gas... My ultimate happiness would be 9.99 with the wheels up on the launch, tracking straight...

Do that, safely, and be able to drive the car to/from a few local cruise ins a few times a year. Drive the car to Fred Howard Beach on the weekend w/my lady even.

Car's pretty light - still has some weight left in it to be removed (door bars, extra metal in doors & fiberglass trunk lid)... But it's not got any amenities - no power, no a/c, no heat, nothing.
