Any gearheads in here??

What are your cars? Classic, Late Model? Anything with power?

How fast can a Nub Mini go? Can we put a roll cage on it and get it to run 10's?

Once I was pretty excited about it, wanted to build up my accord, do the CL Type S motor and tranny swap, make it fast and light, but still put in some stereo mods that would make it a show car. Then I got lazy, now it's a half finished pile of sadness sitting next to my house, for over a year. I hope the day comes when I get a house with a garage and actually start working on it again.

How about you Nick?

Thats quite a story!!

My pride is an '04 Cobra. Twin Screw Whipple S/C and all the goodies to go with it. It put down about 601 RWHP and 595 lb/ft of torque. The only problem with it is that I have been thru 2 sets of Mickey Thompson Drag Radials in 10k mi.

had a 59 caddy, 73 fleetwood, 74 stingray and most recently a 66 mustang. I can turn a wrench or 2.

I only had the Mini up to 110.

Well hell, i'm jealous of the both of you. It's all good. I'm no gearhead, but I do appreciate a nice car when I see one.

74 stingray

did that thing take a lot of work, or was it a pain

I'll be finding my way into a 72 within 5 years

Not at all...74 was the last year for a true dual exhaust off the manifold.

older vettes are simple chevy motors. very simple.

I love cars! A few years back, I spent a lot of time working with a friend of mine on his 2003 SuperSport that had pretty much everything done to it, that you could, and still have it and still be a (somewhat) daily driver. I think the last time it was at the track it was in the low 11's.

As for myself,In any point in time, I had a 98 stang, 99 Mitsubishi eclipse and/or 04 SVT Focus. Now I have a Jeep Liberty that Im pretty sure runs the quarter mile in 21 seconds. Hopefully when I conquer a bit of debt (just took out a loan to finish the basement), Ill wrangle a new stang, or (dar i say) the new camaro.

I had a '65 Mustang high performance. Great carbut it was always going into the shop for something. Wife said it was costing to much so I had to sell it. It killed me to sell it but I had to keep the wife happy.
