Many of us have fast computers... What about cars???

[RamonGTP]

So what kind of cars do you have in your household? I'll start.

-Ramon

[Philip1952]

1999 Intrepid stock

1993 Dodge W350 6x6
Cummins,auto,307 rear gears.
Stock is 180 hp with 400 foot pounds torque
over clocked to 230hp at 500+ F.P.T.
(At this setting you can bend a spicer 70
rear axle. I know)!
Still gets 20mpg at 60mph. Love it.

1964 Dodge Dart it has a 1991 Dakota 3.9l
V6 installed with a 3 spd on the floor for

[RamonGTP]

Hellmund, you lucky SOB, I wish GM would bring the Holden line to the states. Spicifically the Commodore SS. All the comfort of a family sedan with a corvette engine. For now I can only hope and pray, hopefull someday it will become reality.

[RamonGTP]

Toadman, thats a sweet RX7 you got there. Its my 2nd favorite of all the twin turbo cars during that era, my favorite being the Supra. Do you plan on going to a larger single turbo conversion???

-Ramon

[Toadman]

Thinking about it,Ramon. But if it's not broken(so far), why fix it? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif
I might go non-sequential turbos first before coughing up 2k for a single.

Stock Supras=lunch. BPU Supras are a whole different story of course. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[Sweeper]

290HP out of that little car. NICE!

Sweeper

[Warthog]

This is a car I would like to have someday http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Datsun/Nissan 300Z Turbo.

You can see the specs (along with all the other Z cars) here: http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/DatsunZClub/specs.html

A better pic is here (top one): http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.mv?file=car.mv&num=389&left=

[samwichse]

Here's mine (no picture after I got it all put back together with windows and trim and such)
<IMG SRC="http://home.earthlink.net/~jeffnannie/_uimages/Scan19-2.jpg" border=0>

1966 VW beetle
The original 1300cc bored out to 1500cc with header and free flow, glasspack muffler, dual weber carbs with K&D filters (only single port though), Bosche 009 distributer, and an actual oil filter. Net, 65 bone crunching horsepower.

0-60 time, who knows, too long to measure anyway

top speed, haven't ever reached it because I'm afraid to go over 85 (it gets "light")

chicks dig it

[This message has been edited by samwichse (edited 08-05-2001).]

[flash4master]

hey warthog, get a 280z, and drop in a chevy LT1... 350 cubic inches of cheby goodness...(see if this confuses him, he knows why)

[RamonGTP]

Bah, forget the LT1, go with an LS1!!!

-Ramon

[RamonGTP]

Yup, those BPU supra's are mean... Boost controler, intake, exhaust, fuel management unit and you're looking at a ~11 second car. And thats with stock turbo's and intercooler. Your RX has a nice weight advantage being so light. Careful if you plan on upping the boost, those rotary engines doing like running lean under high boost. You can kiss your apex seals goodbye. You probebly already knew that though.

-Ramon

[Kruzin]

<IMG SRC="http://members.home.net/kruzin-kenny/car1.jpg" border=0>

Not the fastest ride on the planet, but it will cruise at 120mph smoothly, while letting you sip a cup of coffee (I havent had the nerve to go faster in it yet, but it will if I want it to...at 120, it was easily ready for more)

[This message has been edited by Kruzin (edited 08-06-2001).]

[krusty the klown]

My workhorse is a Rover 825 turbodiesel.

Same shape as this: http://www.davep1.freeserve.co.uk/rover/images/athomas3.jpg

But mine doesn't have the wing or the alloys.

2.5 VM Turbotronic (same as Jeep Cherokee TD) 120hp & ~200 ft-lb. Enough to be still accelerating at 100 uphill & leaving gasoline engined cars struggling http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm looking to fit a propane kit for around 150-160hp soon http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

[tazman]

Warthog - I had the 300ZX Twin Turbo for three years and got so many **** tickets with it - that's after I traded in my '92 Mustang GT (also with alot of tickets under it's belt).

Now I just tool around in a very lowkey '86 Honda Civic with 40k for miles. I've yet to get any speeding tickets with it but it dogs criusing around the Adirondacks every day (great in the winter though).

ME

[hamsterstan]

Nice cars, but I can beat you all on engine size and power??? With a lovely 1976 Mini Van, it's got a huge 1000cc engine putting out about 50hp and not alot of torque.

But If i do want to go faster then i'll drive my Alfa Romeo 155 1800cc TwinSpark, Top speed of 130mph. (it just won't go any faster captian)

Stan

[Hellmund]

Well the ol FJ will only go to 160kph but it's only an old 3 speed column shift. The VR had already been taken to 230kph but it could've gone further, handling was going so my bro had to slow down. The mirage however has already been atleast 250kph, that's all the speedo goes to and he'd only just changed to 5th. The Dato maxes out on level terrain to 120kph, been to 140kph downhill but I had to put in the clutch, engine wasn't sounding too good, it actually made it to 150kph in it's fastest gear, neutral http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Yeah RamonGTP, I really like those SS commodores, 5 litre V8's that really last, they hold up much better than fords V8's in the XR series.

[skuz]

I'm almost ashamed to say I drive a '89 Toyota Tercel. Though I seriously doubt you could find a cleaner one in Canada.

Once I get another car, I'll transform it into a sleeper just to harass those Civic "sporty" drivers. Maybe I'll put in a Sunfire motor if it fits. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

I'm currently saving for a Mark II Supra ('82-'86), the best looking model in my opinion.

[Nathan]

Would a Mercedes and a Continental by considered sports cars?

[vintron]

i'm only 18..... i plan to get something NICE after i finish college and get a job.

http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Anyways.... this is what we've got at home

1997 Kia Sephia LS
------------------
my car http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
Does 0-60 in under 12 secs (i think that's great for a stock 4-cyl sedan)
Tried upto 115MPH without even the slightest discomfort in smoothness.
Has unbelievable pickup for a 4-cyl stock sedan
I LOVE it's overdrive

2000 Mazda 626 ES V6
--------------------
Fully loaded
my dad's car. me likes!!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif


1989 Plymouth Reliant LE
------------------------
I USED to drive it.... but dad bought a newer car and he gave his old car to me.... so this one is just catching rust.

[spuck]

what ive been driving for about 6 weeks=
1996 freightliner fdl with a 450 hp detroit series 60,10 speed rockwell trans,2:93 rockwell rears.212 inch wheelbase.top speed unknown.70 is my limit.

[HomeYield]

Well my car isn't quite as fast as most of these but for its class it'll haul. Check here (http://carpoint.msn.com/Vip/Engines/Subaru/Legacy%20Wagon/1992.asp) for its specs. Its the one on the far right. That's right, its a '92 Limited Edition Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Did ya notice that its got turbo. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[Thud]

A pic of my ride: http://www.pavementsucks.com/readers/samp2.jpg

With 230hp and 300ft/lbs torque it does OK, considering it weighs about 5000lbs! But, the downside is the 13mpg average.

[Toadman]

Now that's a gorgeous truck! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[krusty the klown]

So you like trucks?

Personally, the engine mods do more for me than the trucks (not too keen on those monsters, really).

Oh, did I say engine mods... almost forgot http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

600hp at the wheels.

Estimated 1280 ft-lb torque.

Sound good?

Here's the kicker: it's a diesel
http://www.performancediesel.net/

I happened across this site whilst I was researching diesel mods for my own car http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif Not quite as extreme, though http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[GroundZero3]

I have a Dodge neon RT 99. (Shhh if you don't like neons or you say everyone has one)

Not this one tho! HAHA

i can't be sure all the particulars right now but i love it to death

I hit 117 mph today on a back road with out any problems. Im gonna be putting intakes on it and a different muffler. also might put some ground effects or lower it!

But i love it to death. its beat my first car (ford festivia) and my second car (ford Escort) into the ground! and of course its stick http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[RamonGTP]

130 is pretty crazy, the fastest i've taken my car up to was 149mph, I was really tring to break the 150mph mark, but there was a turn up ahead, and when you're going that fast, they come at you QUICK. I probebly could have gotten to 150 and still slowed in time, but didn't want to take the risk, wasn't worth it.

-Ramon

[Cadfael]

I have 17 Ferrari's, I do have to admit the one I like best is the F355 Spider... it is so cool to look at...

... I am not joking.

Toadman: Thanks! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif Unfortunately I couldn't bring it to Japan with me, so now I only get to drive it when I'm stateside.

Krusty: The Cummins Turbo Deisel is one mean engine, as I'm sure Philip1952 can tell you! Check this out: http://www.tstproducts.com/power_kits.html

I hit 117 mph today on a back road with out any problems

I don't think we have the same backroads. Our backroads are DIRT with potholes galore and they are barely two lanes. There are no "straight stretches". If you hit even 50mph on one, you'd be risking it http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

2001 Hyundai Sonata V6 GLS. I wanted 5 speed + leather seats but my dad likes auto + cloth seats so that's what we got. It's got crazy pickup around 4000 rpm. Awesome 0-40 time but once it hits 2nd gear, 40-60 takes forever. It's got very tight handling and good braking. Redline is at 6500 RPM 170hp stock. Speedometer goes to 150 I think it actually goes that fast!
