Cars

[ME BIGGD01]

Anyone here have a love for classic/current muscle cars? Was wondering if you do what is your favorite or if you own anything?

I always enjoyed coverting normal cars to muscle. The stuff out now IMO does not compare to the pure stuff of the past.
The last one I had was a 92 S10. Dumped a 350 small block 10.5 to 1 compression. Had a 700r4 tranni in it.
Without the juice it cranked 450hp on a dyno. With the juice it cranked close to 600.
Damn thing would burn rubber half way through 3rd gear.
Sold the sucker when my Dad passed to bury him.
I do like what Dodge is putting out now. The mustang is nice as well. Not digging the Camero.

my brother had a 67 chevy camaro convertible that I used to drive. loved that car, just had a great feel in every way. I dumped a ton of money into a buick 442 I think it was called. Probably a 65 convertible. monstrously huge car. Lost my ass on that. and then a datsun 510. enjoyed it. just shit kept breaking on it. stopped experimenting after that.

PJ, I remember when you first got that car. Did you see the newer ones? They are pretty hot but way too expensive. I priced one and it was close to my MKS.

What are you driving now a days Big?
Caravan? :)

Damn PJ you have some nice mods on the SHO

[PJ'l_Master]

This is my 3rd one actually :( my first was a blue 94 automatic, then a suuuper rare 91+, now my 89, which is by far in the best shape. 22 and still under 130k miles :)

i have seen the new ones, and im way back and forth on getting one if i can find one cheap sometime down the road, the new 2013 ones are super hot. They are stupid expensive though, and the engine just doesnt have the same roar to it that makes my girlfriend "happy" if you catch my drift ;)

Thanks sho, you still got yours?

I drive the Lincoln MKS daily and once in a while take the 73 Mach 1 out.

I still have the SHO but it's not been driven in about 3 years, i've got a '08 Fusion SEL 3.0 V6 that I bought a few months ago that i'm driving now .... I think it's almost as or as fast as my SHO was.

So far I've lowered it 1.5", peeled the pinstripes off, added the rear spoiler, replaced the orange side marker lights with smoked ones and painted the lower chrome grill bars black. The tint is Photoshopped in the pic below, but is in the works and I've got a 3DCarbon body kit http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/073dbody15drop1.jpg/ , i'm saving to get it painted and to do the tint.

Mine before and after the drop

I had a Bentley Continental GT up until about 5 months ago. 12 Cylinders, twin turbos, 4 wheel drive. That thing flew but liked a drink too much!
