Ok if you think you own a fast "street car" time to check in, and when I mean fast I mean what you have done with it on the 1320, not what you read Motortrend claimed to do lol. Ill start 1994 Turbo Mustang T76 turbocharger, built motor, AEM EMS, C4 with tranny brake Slow in my book as it only runs a 10.7@131 mph    |
By the way....SWEET ASS CAR. |
|
Mine's not in motor trend. 3000hp alcohol funny car with a 98 firebird fiberglass body. Runs the quarter in 6.04@245mph. Its a little bit of a rush.    All I have of it right now are real prints that I took pics of with my cellphone. I can scan them tomorrow at some point. |
1998 Corvette coupe. Ported and polished heads, hot cam, ported ZO6 intake, Shaner TB, Long tube headers into Borla racing Exhaust, ZO6 M12 Trans and Getrag 3.73 rear gears. Dyno tuned by Cartek in Garwood NJ. 11.3 128 mph. Custom black suede and torch red interior 
|
128 mph NA? |
Yep car is NA. |
That seems very fast for a NA vette? What elevation where you at and what did the car dyno? I have a friend with a Z06 with a built 427 MTI motor and he barely goes 121 mph off the bottle. |
CHECK THIS OUT |
|
On the left... mostly stock 97 cobra convertible...future plans 4.10s heads and cams On the right... 68 coupe, forged 331, AFR 185s, big cam, not much of an interior (carpet, seats, door panels, and dash, I stripped out all the insulation and such, no rear seat, 6pt roll bar)...needs a transmission. future plans weiand supercharger. 
|
My 2005 Volvo XC90-T6 probably doesn't have the acceleration or top-speed of some of these vehicles, but I can almost certainly guarantee that it's spent so much more time above 100mph, 110mph, and up to 120mph than just about anyone else around here . . . oh, and that's on a public road (not a track).  Here it is, with my wife behind the wheel, in front of VCC HQ in Göteborg. That was pick-up day, and there were probably 3 miles on the car at that point. 
|
Man, that is a BEAUTIFUL color... I couldn't find one without the cinnamon leather... so I went for Silver Gray Metallic |
 too bad about the new ticket fines...
|
LOL....You can say that again. But I'm pretty mellow on the road these days...one speeding ticket in almost 10 years now. |

no good pics of it but I've got an '87 300zxt . JDM motor , t3/t4 turbo (63ar don't remember the other half , 500hp is at the top of the flow chart IIRC) . 450cc injectors, Jim Wolf 450 modded computer . mustang cobra MAF , HKS SSQV blow off valve ,240sx throttle body , solid motor mounts (very much needed) . suspension has been gone over as well as 300zxTT brakes put on the front SS lines and the whole works (larger master cyl as well . I like stopping just as much as starting).viper GTS borla exhaust 3" from the turbo back. plus lots of other crap. I still need an intercooler and now a rebuild as I hole'ed 2 pistons from running slightly lean at 18PSI . when its running its a complete sleeper , no one expects an older nissan to be this quick (corners ,straits and stopping ,it is a street car) , especially when its not a TT. best time was like 8.1 in the 1/8 before I got carried away building it. my fast ride is a 91cbr f2 but thats another story (and a sleeper). |
Nice....pre-Viper, I had a modded 350z (not as modded as your 300, but fun nonetheless)...here's a pic of my ex-beast... 
|
My boss likes to race the little rice grinders that think they are the shit in his ford van. No fast cars for me though, Im trying to build one, but we'll see. |
| 89 rs, 6.0l, l92 heads, LS7 cam, spec flywheel, ram clutch, t56, 3.42, pro 5.0 shifter, cometic gaskets, arp fastners, stock rockers, patriot gold dual springs with ti retainers and super 7* locks, l76 intake, 42lb injectors, holley 90mm tb, more to come. goin for 12s for now... 10 flat is the goal.. along with a corner carver street attitude. |
 Magazine type pictures, "built motor" but no specifics whatsoever, "slow" to him while running high 10's, no mention of nitrous but clearly visible in picture, trans. brake is hardly worth mentioning... |
beautiful car their man . I want a G35 coupe (I've got a family now and need a back seat) . its a far cry from what my car looks like , the clear is missing in large patches on it . ETA : forgot to add that when I had it running last highway crusing at 100+ mph would net me mid 30's mpgs usually right at 35mpg. I figured thats not to bad for 400+hp 3.0liter thats 20yrs old . in town I could run it down to around 12mpg. |
|
I took my foot off the gas pedal at 140mph. It would go faster, but the front end was getting awfully light and floaty. Small Block bored/stroked to 383. 450 HP, 450 ft.lbs. Richmond 6-speed. Never been to the track. While not the quickest car by far, I know it will gobble up a stock 2007 mustang GT.  |
2000 mustang 3.8l electric green.....wont embarass you all with times 
|
 Built for yours truly in 2000: Custom/modified softtail frame Buell factory race engine + minor head, carb and misc work. Dynoed at Mitchell's Harley Davidson in Modesto, CA (103hp, 98lb/ft) Much of it is bolt on, but custom touches include: * Pipes (minus tips) hand made * Rear fender braces frenched in * Rear brake rotor cut down * Front fender shortened * Hand made seat * Hand made dash (installs with 3 screws and 2 minutes - on split tanks, no less) * Oil Tank stretched (cosmetic) * Hand made louvered panels under oil tank to hide misc ugliness. 12.9 @108 (informal test with borrowed computer clamped to handlebars - also used to calibrate electronic spedometer) I always figured that with the right tires on a proper track, I could shave a few tenths off. But alas, it's never seen a real track. Like most Sportsters (didn't notice that on the first glance, did ya?) it kind of falls on it's face after about 100mph. I built it to look cool. She ain't a drag bike. Besides, after about 100mph it's a royal pain in the ass (literally even) to ride the thing. Still, it's pretty quick and the best part? It's the best handling softtail I've ever ridden, bar none. You'll note that I kept the ride height up. I love the twisties, and I've got scrapes on the bottom/sides of the pipes to prove it. 
|
 And then there's this one. Sorry, not a 10 second ride.  13.5 @ 103. Stock, buuuuuuuut (and I mean a big but...) ~70 degree day Tires at 15psi Bag of ice on intake (heat soak is a problem with these) 3500rpm launch, 6000rpm power shifts (defined as foot glued to the floor while shifting with clutch) To call this a consistent 13.5 car would be an overstatement. That's a best time, and it's not easy to repeat. |

I don't own one BUT I got to drive one... (my high school buddy's new toy) Saleen (pre-market Mustang) Silver, rag top, supercharged 600HP to the frame, completely modded out with a new forged and bored engine. Last weekend we got it up to 165mph. That is one tough car to drive, there is NO slip in the clutch but it will chirp in 4th gear. There was a G-force meter in it but it HAD to be wrong, get into second, hit the gas and lord have mercy! The G-force gauge only read .5G, it sure felt like more. By far the fastest car I've ever been in. |
nah..I know the guy, or did back when his car just had a 306 w/nitrous... yeah he likes to show off, but I don't think he's BSing |
IIRC wasnt it for sale on EE or something like that? It was featured in a magazine hence the pictures. |

there is always someone on here that has to post a minivan link before I can. Here is my car.  86' Omni GLH Turbo. I will be throwing the motor back in it in the next week or so. It should run some easy 12s with slicks, but this last fall I had a hard time hooking in 3rd with the auto cross tires on it that I run on the street, so we shall see. |
