Who Has Fast Cars? Other than their Jeep.

lawdogg · 09-23-2008, 10:21 AM

Just wanted to get a thread going for those of us with sports cars and Jeeps! Granted I have a stock WJ so it's not really a hardcore Jeep or anything. Anyway I'd love to see what you guys all drive!

Here's a link to a photo of my two Mopar's.

The Challenger has the 425 hp 6.1 Hemi, and it feels pretty fast to me. Dodge says it will do 180 mph. I've never been there, but they tell me its nice (line from Joe Walsh song). Awesome car though; here's another picture

In may case its had, I just got rid of it on ebay a few months back. I gotta downsize and get rid of toys/stuff pending a move from the east coast to the west next year. It easily did the speed limit in 2nd gear. Max I did in it was 145mph. I'll probably get a vette to replace it after we make the move. Still keeping the jeep though I haven't figured out how to get it the 3000 miles.

That Challenger is beautiful.

My sports car is a 1992 Pontiac Firebird, and my fast(er) truck is a 1978 Ford Bronco.

SC? or is it a kinda backdated Carrera?!

we took a 88 targa carrera with 60k miles in on trade in the middle of august - paid $12k for it, I would have bought it but I was out of town, and it sold within 4 hours of being traded in....

the older cars normally dont come through our stores, and if they do they're low mileage 993 TT's and C4S's - way too rich for me still (can you believe we just sold a 993 TT with 60k miles on it for $75k

)

my speed slut - 1990 Lingenfelter C4 - 400ci bowtie block v8

nothing too special...

I bought this Mustang GT in 06 just to have something to play with. It's got a whopping 3,100 miles on it now, but it's a fun car. I did exhaust, Brenspeed program and a CAI so far, when I get the time to mess with it I am going to bolt a Pro Charger on it and get it dialed in. Too many other hobbies!

I waited and waited for the new Camero to come out before I bought the Mustang. Maybe Chevy will get off their *** and get them out soon! I want a 'vertible Camero!

Here's my 1971 Dodge Demon:

It isn't fast now, but give it a couple months

Reswob · 09-23-2008, 11:00 AM

My 'fast' vehicle would be my little Ninja. Might not be outright 'fast', but she sure handles better than most cars

**LGreevesCJ7** · 09-23-2008, 11:03 AM

'85 Monte Carlo SS it was fast in the '80s

87 Carrera w/OEM turbo tail. Paid 27K in 92 and got 21K for it. The guy who bought it was a dealer. It stayed on his lot for about two days, I'd love to know what he got for it.

Gorgeous!!! There was an orange SRT Challenger at the track when I went, the poor guy was having traction problems but still running mid-low 13's at a hair under 110 ... it was beautiful!

Zomg, so jealous. I love those cars ... they are timeless. Too bad you had to get rid of it.

I love the new styling of those things. I rode a 2000 Ninja 500R for a while, it was fun, but the styling was so dated. Those new ones look spectacular.

lawdogg · 09-23-2008, 11:17 AM

I guess I'll add my car to the thread now that you guys are putting yours up! I put it in the 1000000 post thread but I think I'll put the pic here too.

It's a 1994 3000GT VR-4 with a lot of work done by me. It just ran an 11.8 @ 116 at the track, on pump gas, street tires, and 17psi of boost.
