The Car of the Day(For My Amusement)

Nice. My first car was a '37 Plymouth coupe bought for 25 bucks in '56. The window cranked out like on that model A.

 

I have a very good friend named Doug, he has a really cool car.

1999 Chevrolet camaro ss- 6.0L v8 with Borg Warner s480 turbo (giant)

He's been building it for almost a year now and it's finally running just needs a couple more things before he can start tuning it to get it ready for the quarter mile in the spring.

This is a serious build, if you know anything about fast cars then you can obviously see that this thing means business. He's planning on making somewhere around 1000hp and possibly breaking into the 8sec quarter mile range with this setup.

Anybody want to race?? Hahaha

Here's another quick idle vid.

The exhaust still needs to be cut haha it's not gonna stay that long, it will just barely poke thru the bumper when he cuts it.


Here is the official "build thread" for the car. He did a really good job taking pics of everything. It all came out sooo good.

^^^ I did that once in my '67 Olds 442... Except I did it going uphill. :2thumbsup:

 

My mom dated a guy when I was a teenager that had one of these:



A Vista Cruiser almost exactly like the photo above (even the same color), but it had a raised hood with intake hole things and it said 442 on it.

I remember it had big ass racing type aluminum rims and tires too.

I also remember never having felt so flattened into the seat before when he floored it the first time I rode in it.

I don't know how stock it was under the hood, but I do know I've never felt such power before, or since then.

 

They would push you back into your seat... Stock or modified. I had three of them all 1967's...

 

a car that launches so hard it comes off the strip

 

:2thumbsup:

 

Gotta love them fuel altereds.

 

Nothing she wouldnt make it through or over. I feel alot safer in somthing built or overkill. My current is a mini version.

 

Yeah, but you can launch a shopping cart so hard it comes off the isle, and it might weigh more than that....

 

Had one of these back in my college days. Had a 429 and an AM/8 track sound system.








1972 Ford Country Squire Station Wagon.
