Who here is into cars? Lets start a CAR THREAD!!

I grew on the the drag strip. My favorite smell is burned rubber and racing gas. I spent the majority of my life building cars (and trucks) with my dad.

I'd love to be able to do it again but it's a helluva expensive hobby.

Favorite car so far was the 67 Chevy II, everyone always thought she'd be to heavy (she wasn't) she could fly.

I was just joking, 57 Chevys only came with a 265 or 283.

The 327 Reference is from the movie My cousin Vinny.

86 Trans Am - stock 5.0. 160,000miles,drive every day. 83 Camaro stock 350, 5 speed BW t-5. Love these cars

'71 Riviera. If you have it, I want it! :waa:

Same here. They look great slightly tubbed. Too bad there aren't too many left.

I bought a 1970 OLDS 442 3-30 back in 1980 when I was 16...It had 52k miles on it. Paid $1,500... want another Muscle Car again bad

Here my Ricey Honda. Installing my turbo kit when summer arrives. Gonna be fun!

I had a Mazda MX-3 GS. =P

That was my first car. Two door, V6, 5 speed. Wasn't the fastest as one might imagine, but I loved spanking riced out Civics and the like with it.

I had a rivalry with this one turbo'd Civic, ran into him like three times a week and each time we'd race and each time he'd beat me. Only Civic that did. We probably raced over two dozen times after just running into each other at a stop light or something. He was a bit of a prick though. Friggin' Civics.

For my next car I would like to get a Suburu WRX STI. I'm a bit into the import/tuner thing. I love the four wheel drive on the Suburus and the sound of the blow off valve and everything. Would love to take one on a dirt road.

My father has a 2002 Camaro SS, which is something you'd like it sounds like. LS1 engine, 6 speed. He has a bit done to it as well, exhaust, intake, and some of the widest tires I've seen on a street car.

It's pretty quick. Based on the stock figures I would guess it would run low low thirteens or high high twelves in the 1/4 but that's just a total guess. (But maybe that isn't quick by your standards if your buddies run parachutes in the quarter mile =P)

My father seldom lets me drive his SS, and only when I'm with him because he knows I used to be into street racing. Ah well. :)

HONDA! :anger:

Was it the 283?? for some reason, 289 keeps popping in my melon...but maybe I am thinking of ford.
