Show Us Your Ride

nice...but that's one of the things i like about superchargers over turbo's is the cooler air charge. i know with some carb and efi applications given low enough boost you don't have to intercool it. less plumbing is better/easier/cheaper.

One thing for sure, it wasn't an easy adaptation for the car during the programming phase. It probably went through 4 or 5 rounds to get it programmed right. It was a little finicky about the whole process.

Don't think I mentioned, it has 60lb injectors. I can still get 26mpg on the highway just driving 75 or 80 in 6th gear. That's actually better than my 6 cylinder SUV with 2/3rds less HP. Kind of strange how that works out.

that's awesome and just goes to show you a little boost is more efficient than an NA engine all other things being equal ..except of course when you get into it, then you can almost see the fuel gauge needle going down

Low revs and mountains of torque will always yield good mpg at a steady pace like a Mway or whatever Savage Vette man.

This is my baby! Wouldn't own anything other then a TRUCK! County is the only way...

Nice for the surf boards! I just got back from DR, small waves but had a lot of fun. Love to surf.

[JohnnyVegas]

Love that Porsche!!! I've been tinkering around with thoughts on a 911 Turbo. The mid life crisis is getting funner by the minute!

It is a good looking car. Handles well and we have tracked it a few times. I wish she had wanted a turbo. She is a car girl, but big horsepower isn't what turns her on.

A couple more pics, 1 is of the ProCharger intercooler.

I've looked at doing a few more mods to improve the boost up to 10lbs, taking it over 725 BHP, but truthfully it's hard enough now to get my KDW's to grip. Already chirping the tires into 3rd gear at 60mph.

I thought about forced induction (making 550hp now) for my Pantera, but without some electronic nannies I am sure the car would kill me the first opportunity it had. I hear a lot of guys getting all manly talking about how they hate the electronics in modern cars, but I think they would change their mind if they really drove a high-horsepower car at even 80% for any length of time. One that will go sideways in a turn if you give it throttle, then will wildly swing sideways the other way if you touch the breaks (mine is mid-engine). The next performance car I own is going to have some damn safety features!

Funny vegas my buddy and I were just talking about how far technology has come to be able to harness the high hp that modern cars are making. Without the fatality rate would be climbing fast!!!!!!

No doubt! I love all the YouTube videos of guys getting on the throttle, losing control and hitting a curb or tree. Could you imagine those guys trying to get around a track or racing through traffic? Now imagine if they had no traction control, anti-lock brakes, power steering or yaw control!

So as i said i hand built this car .. this is what it looked like when i 1st bought it ..

Ive put prob 5,000 man hrs into the car and rebuilt it from the ground up several times and did it all with basically having no money...

About $100 bucks a week was my budget on the car ... its taken 10 yrs to get it to look they way it dose now...

For work....JohnnyV and I both own businesses in Vegas. I do Retail.

Thank you i really appreciate that some one has noticed. years of blood sweat, scrimping and saving... lives a lot easier when ya got cash to splash.

[slfmade]

Now all you gotta doing is put the steering wheel on the right side. LOL....Just kidding

[lakris]

I've got a duster with a 440

dug up a older picture..

Like the old school look with the wheels and tires, so im thinking of getting rid of the grey salt flat wheels on it now

[gixxerboy1]

never a mopar fan but thats nice clean car

[MR-FQ320]

oh and the third pic is my daily driver lol

[gixxerboy1]

^^^ Nice 550. I have a 330i

E90 ? I love my beemer, im just getting into coding the software via NCS expert, iv got an annoying boing/chime thats pissing me right off, and figure its best to buy and learn the software rather than pay someone else to do it.

e46 zhp. I have euro headers with no cats, full exhaust, under drive pulleys and and active autowerk in miami did the tune. I was messing with the software myself.

I would love to have a Reliant Robin. I would chop the top, convert to suicide doors, sweet wheels with fat tires and a flat black wrap.

Can you squeeze a Hayabusa motor in there?

[Charly Rivers]

cool pics guys some are really funny!1

Do you live in So.Cal and if so, did you have Ryne from CMS tune your car?

[Eddie_m63]

Forgot about this one, still got four wheels so:













And they crash like the real ones too lol.

That is probably the ultimate sleeper car.

Yes, I'm in So Cal, but I don't know Ryne. Is he the guy up in the Northridge area?

Just turned over on 29k miles. Has a 6772 precision dbb turbo with fuel system, fmic, exhaust, fuel control electronics, etc... In these cooler temps I'm breaking BFG drag radials free in third gear.

[Little1]

Had a 2004 Lincoln Town Car with big rims, loud speakers, dvd screens, immaculate, engine upgrades, dual exhaust.

I traded it for a beat up 2000 Ford F150.
A truck that leaks, no air, squeeks and has dents and scratches.

But I love this truck more than anything.
A $3000 truck instead of a $50,000 car

I can back my truck up to the water, beat the truck up, party on the back and just have fun.

I've never loved anything more than my old truck

[DeadlyD]

Great thread! Lots of hot rides, i used to build custom choppers so im into bikes, ill have to take a pic of my 87 custom softail and post it.

Nice ride (the car of course).
I have only driven one Viper, it belongs to a friend. 91 all original and like yours showroom condition. Is it me or does it feel weird when you are driving it. I felt like I was being pushed over to the outside of the car, like I was leaning against the door or over the wheels instead more in a central position. One of the best races I had in my 91 VR4 stock at the time, now 400hp ATW was against a Viper. He walked away from me on the straights above 160 mph but I was able to take him in some of the turns. I passed him in some S turns and took a caution 60 mph turn at 120. I had to take the next exit because my foot wouldn't stop shaking due to adrenaline after the turn. LOL

Mine, 91 Dodge $tealth RT Twin Turbo
13G tubos, I built rebuilt the engine and most everything else in the car from the ground up over the years meaning I did 99% of the work myself including removing and installing the engine. 1 day install from the garage floor to installed and running. Cant see the ground from the top, tight fit. LOL
Dyno tuned on a 4 wheel drive Mustang 400 hp at the wheels and has over 200,000 miles on the odometer.

Hahahahahah LMFAO .. Nice one
