I

Dodge. The first time I saw The Fast and the Furious, the end, I almost cried

But like I said a good friend of my dad has been building a Cuda for about a year now and he has it up to 936 Ponies. It's Orange with two black stripes, big ass tires on the back, hood scoop, reinforce steel cage on the inside. He let me start it up about a week ago, OMG. I've never felt so powerfull. Even when I drove my Dad's 69 Corvette Stingray on the highway. Damn I love cars.

Please provide where you got your info

Yeah, gotta love the MOPAR products. My first car was a '68 GTX. Beat to shit, 7 different primer colors, one seat, 300K+ miles on it. Wasted lookin' 440 and auto in it. Paid $150 not running. Worked on it 10 minutes and drove it home.

The guy I bought it from was mad as a wet hen, as he was told it had a cooked engine (he knew squat about cars). heh....yeah, like I was gonna tell him all it needed was points and a timing chain?

Drove that car another 100k before blowin it up myself. Never got to dyno it for HP numbers, but then again, how much HP would a 400K mile (basically stock) engine make?

Loved that car. Got my first.....um...lovin'....in that car.
Also my first tickets, first wrecks, first run over 130mph.....fortunately not all at the same time.

ahh, the good ol days.

PS:Comparing a Maybach and a Viper is seriously comparing apples and oranges. HP aint everything. Took me 20 years to realize that.

How big the backseat is matters too :o.

But even if the horsepower on my hummer is low... I'm starting to mod it when my first pay comes in... first I'm changing the color then I'll see... all I know is my baby will crush any car off-road and on... literaly...

Lonehunter · 2003-08-07, 04:24 PM

Do you have a Hummer or a "H2"?

Edit: And if you're gonn a get a Viper, I suggest you get an older model. They look better. Something before 2000 would be nice

Ack, careful, if you do to much your penis will be so small it will no longer be of any use.

Spider, buy a Tempo and give the rest to me

Or, for sheer comedic value, turn a VW Bug (the old one) into one of the nastiest little street racers ever /nod

xuur · 2003-08-07, 04:56 PM

bug into a giant killer. easy to do.

used to be one around our 'turf' back in the day that was a bug body grafted onto a V8 Vega chasis. 180deg headers (for you gearhead types) that would make it sound like a 4banger...sorta.

the guy easily won enough coin street racing to pay for the car as well as the tires it would send up in smoke.

respect the bug. I've seen 'em do some nasty things to V8's on the strip.

Not with their own engine.

No fucking way that I have the h2 sissy truck! I have to good old H1! Raw military power *grunts*

xuur · 2003-08-07, 06:24 PM

you mean not with a 'stock' engine.

Vee Dub engines have a ton of potential. adding roller mains, turbos, etc etc. they can be absolute screamers....and being distant cousins of porche engines, they definitely have the breeding to be racers.

dont let em fool ya. someone who really knows em, and has the $ to put into it can make em real ground pounders.

Volkswagon bugs used to be used as German race cars back in the day so, yeah if you put a lot of money into it they could be kickin.
