68-69 Cuda, Super Bee, Roadrunner, Chargers, the last of the great muscle cars.

Although the new Chargers are very nice, just to damn small.

Also like cruisers, 76 Ford Ltd, beautiful car and smooth as silk.

i've got a 99 deville that i bought in 01 it just turned 100,000 miles and it's a beast, had the chip reprogrammed and it was a night and day differnce but with gas prices like they are i do most of my cruising in my wife's 45 mile to the gallon toyota yaris. it doesn't have enough power to get out of its own way but it passes most gas stations without a problem.

my sister and brother in law borrowed the caddy and ran it hot, cost me a 2 heads and had to have the block helicoiled, that's when the tech reprogrammed them chip. it cost me $1800 for 2 wrecking yard heads and labor. i was in the automotive parts business for 25 years, it's nice to have friends.

My fave car i have owened was my A4...2.5l AWD, GT28RS Elim Turbo, 26 PSI with a Nuespeed chip and Remus exhaust...

Would love a mid eighties RX-7 or a GTO Judge...but my all time fave is the GNX (or Grand National as the GNX was a gen two prototype) Buick pulled out all the stops and for the longest time had the recorded for fastest production car made...I had a 85 regal as my first car...two weeks later it was a regal t-type...balls to the wall my friends

some nice cars for sure... as for the Rx7s, and other imports, i suggest getting the PROPER JDM specs, right hand drive. converted models (domistic imports lol) are downgraded and imo a dissapointment next to the original JDM.

Now after watching THIS, you CAN'T tell me that you wouldnt be willing to put down the muscle for a while to chow down on this bowl of rice ;)
*BTW this is NOT the "fastest supra" i believe the best supra time so far is 7.5...? or something near that.

Nothing wrong with that. Some of the fastest car's I've seen on the streets are B-series motors in civics/crx's.

Yeah, there are some really nice hondas around here. I really want to do some more engine mods but it sure is an expensive hobby :)

That's an understatement, LOL. Good thing about Honda's is that, for the most part, you dont need a lot of money(in terms of what it really takes to build a 10 sec car). Just piece together some turbo stuff, re-tune it, and you're on your way. Mind if I ask what kind of setup youre runnin?

There's nothin wrong with a good honda! i owned a 1.6L '93 civic, gave it cold air intake and aftermarket exhaust, that thing RIPPED. they handle amazingly and have considerable acceleration for a naturally aspirated car. super reliable too.
nothinnnn wrong with a good honda.
however if i ever buy another one my plan would be an civic SiR , add a turbo and 3in exhaust = speedy beast! (JDM for best performance!!)

^ Hey not trying to burst your bubble but u just dont throw a turbo into a bseries without fixing it up,what you want it to blow up haha. You need more then a turbo and exhaust to have good numbers.

My favorite car.. which most of you probably dislike, but that's alright because I've loved this car ever since I was a little kid, watching 'Miami Vice' with Crocket and Tubs... man I loved that fucking show!! But yeah, when I first seen and heard that silver Ferrari Testarossa... I wanted one ever since that day.

I've got a passion for cars. Especially Ferrari's .... I mean shit, they're hand-made with love and care. Made to perfection!! - but by hand! You can't beat that IMO..

the HP and torque that the Ferrari puts out.. is just incredible! Oh, and who can forget that signature sound of a Ferrari engine... mmmmmm... yeaaaaa.


In another 5 to 7 years, I WILL own a Ferrari. I'm going with either the Testarossa OR, go for the new '458 Italia' - Which is just absolutely beautiful.. stunning.. this magnificent Ferrari model just looks fast.. just sitting there. They did an excellent job with the new 458 Italia. Beautifully done IMO..

Anyhow, that's been my dream-car ever since I was little watching 'Miami Vice' sitting on the living room floor of my parents house with my sippy cup filled with GingerAle. ;)

peace..

Right now I only got bolt-ons, intake, headers, exhaust. Lowered on skunk2 coilovers. Not anywhere near 10 seconds, but it gets the blood pumping @ 8000+rpm. I'd be scared to drive a 10 second car :hump:
