I have to say, strifes car kicks ass. It damn fast, and does have quite the good acceleration to it unlike he says. ive ridden in it, and damn the handling is the best part i do have to say. being able to do 70 on cloverleaf on/off ramps is the best part. And buzzing around town, showing it off is mighty fun too. Love the car strife. Add those pics i took, there damn good ones, but again they may not look as clear because of the damn scanner, but defineltly cool. Now im used to driving the Red Rocket A.K.A 1993 Ford Explorer, which i might add still has some balls left if i treat it right and give it some loving. But you'll have to wait and see those pics once i get them. im ridin on 16's baby now thats Gangsta!! haha love the Red Rocket. oh oh and i also forgot to add im runnin 2 12' subs in the the back that kick ass if i may say so. ok ok, last thing to i promise, and yes strifes speedometer does say 200 ooohhhh thats so sweet

Where to start...
1000 rwhp in a Saleen Mustang? You're out of your mind. It would cost you in the range of $30-50,000 to even think about getting that. By the time you were done, even if you did do this, it would barely be a Saleen Mustang anymore. You'd have to engine swap, because a normal V8 couldn't possibly put out that much horse without you blowing it. 1000HP daily driver? Not where I live. I'm in California, and that's completely illegal. With 1000HP you'd HAVE to run slicks, you'd HAVE to have wheelie bars, and you'd never get away with driving that here. You'd have to cage the entire car, engine bay and all, you'd have to reinforce the chassy, drivetrain, and frame. The car would be so incredibly loud you'd break every sound law there is. I go to the local drags occasionally, and trust me, cars that are running 9's and 10's don't have your everyday V8's. It's not plausable or even practical to have a 1000HP daily driver. Some alcohol engines don't put out that much. Good luck sir. Also, who's "Integra Type-R" is that? Reason I say it like that is because everyone and their brother has an integra here, slaps Type-R stickers on it, Type-R badges and thinks it makes it a Type-R. Show me your engine ;P Now, here's my car. 1969 Chevrolet Nova - Purchased for $2200 2 months ago Interior is brand new. Just bought a new radiator, currently running a Straight 6 250ci Chevy engine with a 2 speed Powerglide trans. It'll be up and running monday when I get a new coolant line (had to cut the old one to get the old radiator out) Future Plans : Chevy Small Block 350ci 350HP Crate Engine 350 Trans Ford 9 Rear Possibly a supercharger Reinforced chassy/drivetrain Cage Disconnect rear brakes Front disc brakes PAINT! Yes, it'll be a dragster. By the time I even think about this i'll be buying a POS $500 daily driver.

just reviving an old thread here
there´s been a lot of talk about cars especially with the oil price through the roof so i´m wondering what people in this forum drive. i looked back through the last 11 pages and recognised not a single person and in any case 99% of the photos are no longer there. but without further ado: the volvo 850 that is sitting outside at the moment. the volvo 1800e i own back in au the volvo 122s that i own back in au that was my daily driver until i left.

the 122 has been the most fun of all the volvos i´ve owned as it just feels like you throw it around rather than drive it. the 1800 is the car i´ve owned the longest (10 years this year) and has taken all that time and a significant amount of money and way more time (i did all the work on it myself including taking the gearbox out 4 times to fix a leaking seal ) to get right. i think ssomeone has played with the engine as it´s a bit hard to drive but goes way faster than it should oh and it´s survived a kangaroo to boot... thinking about it, i already own my dream car although it´s not puctured. it´s a ´74 volvo 164 and for some reason i just really like that model. i guess taste is a personal thing.

I drive a £300 '94 Ford Fiesta 1.1. Dark green, no hubcaps (stylish )
Thinking about painting the steelies bright orange Super slow, super cheap, student car. What are you paying for fuel as a comparison? I think its a bit over £1/litre for 95, or £1.10+ for 98-100RON |

98 - 100 RON (~ 95 PON) is just a tad higher octane than our "premium" unleaded pump gas which runs 93 - 94 PON except in California where they serve 91 PON-piss and charge a lot more for it.
This past weekend I paid $3.80/gal for 93 unleaded premium pump gas for one of our cars, then $3.69/gal for regular unleaded 87 octane for our other car; I also paid $8.25/gal for 112 octane leaded gas for my car above, and burned up too much of it having fun so I'm going out at lunch today and getting 10 more gallons. Don't forget this is U.S. gallons not Imperial gallons. |

Well, here's my hoopty-ass Wrangler when I got it in March of 06:
And here's a couple of pictures from this past weekend, right before the top came off for the year: I haven't done nearly as much as I'd like to with it yet. And even though it's a useless little 4 cyl. automatic right now, I don't mind it staying that way for a while - mainly because of gas prices. On 12 gallons (93 octane), I can get about 200 miles. That's a hell of a lot better than my (32-gallon tank!) Bronco was that I had before this. And it's not like I'm heading to Moab anytime soon... I swear to God though, if I get deployed one more time, I am going to drop an LS1 or a 351 Cleveland in that fucker - just because it can be done. I never want a big flashy, high-speed sports car. But I'm alllll about putting some heat into something that won't draw anyone's attention.
