Past or present. I will start:
My Cayman S. 
3.4 flat 6 making about 295HP. 4 valves per cylinder with VVT and sequentail EFI. Getting exhaust and plenum upgrade along with computer flash tomorrow. 6 speed manual. Michelin Pilot Super Sports, of course. 
Cayman S and Anniversary Edition RX7 Turbo II 
The RX7 is a 1.3 liter rotary with a turbo with 5 speed manual and Bridgestone Potentzas. These pics are at a couple of turns at Roebling Road near Savannah. 
My 1988 Mazda 929: 3.0 liter 3 valve V6, 5 speed manual. Bridgestone Potenzas. 
And from my long distant past, me and my 1954 Packard Hearse. 3 on the tree with a manual OD. 400 cubic inch straight 8 flathead. Damn tank. 
Picture taken with a Polaroid about 1967 in Clarkston, GA.
No, I didn't paint the critters on it, the old guy I bought it from had done that and I was just a poor kid back then and could not afford to repaint it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Butternut: @akethan have you driven that badass rocket ship much so far? Would love to hear some impressions, filtered for someone that's never piloted one - especially launches and turns at speed. I've been watching a lot of test drive vids in the last year, and some honestly give me the goose bumps. @ Butternut I put about 5 miles when I picked it up and drove it to location I have it stored. We got some snow this week so I'm switching to my ZR900.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Butternut: Love that color - that's beautiful. I've been out of the BMW game for a while. What's she powered by? Thank you. This is from the sticker: “2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve engine with vanable valve control (Douole-VANOS and Valvetronic) and high-precision direct injection.” HP is 255, which doesn’t seem like much but she moves. It might be the 295 lbs of torque that helps it, along with the weight🤷🏻♂️ |

I guess its fairly common for cars that are being bought and sold to not be titled to the companies that own them in between. Anyhow, the wholesaler went out of business, so they dealer was not able to complete these title transfer to me. I did some legwork and found the title was still listed as the owner in CO.

It's faster in a straight line than the GT3, but slower in the corners due to less tire. Last track day, a friend was there with his ZR-1 and his front tires were wider than my rears. I'd like to go to larger wheels and wider tires, but don't want to sink another $10k into it when I only track a few times a year. We'll be at AMP again saturday.

Just googled and shows a 225/35/19 front and a 285/35/20 rear? Is that right? And $10K to squeeze more!? That’s not much tire for a supercar lol. I’m 285/35/19 squared with no mods required and can do a 305/35/19 with a few hundred dollars in spacers and studs - I’m just a rustang though Just stocked up on SuperCar3’s in 285 so unfortunately won’t be making the switch to 305’s until next year. Good on you for getting out there! That’s super badass!! It’s snowing right now in my neck of the woods, so unfortunately I won’t be out for a few months.

Yeah, rears are 275 or 285 (I forget) and I think the ZR-1 runs 295 and 325. I could get a set of knock off or no-name w/PS4S for $5-6k, but a nice set with R888r are going to run $8-10k plus install. Annual service this year w/oil change will be around $4k. Even a pre-track inspection runs $375.

My 911 buddy runs the R888r’s successfully. And yep, good wheels are definitely costly. My track wheels are 10 lbs lighter per, almost 50% what the stock wheels weighed lol. |

Looks like a few others have posted cars they used to own but sold.
'87 Buick Grand National. I purchased this car in 2001 with 17,400 original miles. It still had the factory plastic on the radio and seat backs. I did a few basic (reversible) bolt-on mods. This was a fun car. Sold in '08. Really wish I still had it.  Attached File Attached File |

Picked this up two weeks ago, rebuilt the VANOS, did the DISA valve, coolant system was new, everything GTG. M54B30 apparently had other plans and went pop. Guessing a rod decided to eject through the pan. Will know more once I pull the motor. And subsequently not sure if I'll swap another B30 ZHP motor in or a regular B30 and swap cams over, or just LS1 it.
Was just cruising along at about 70 when I heard knocking, was trying to merge the shoulder (4 lanes of traffic) and couldn't make it in time to kill the motor before she let go. No overheating prior to that. Either the oil pump nut let loose or a bearing just decided it was time. Motor was, honest to goodness, quiet, smooth, and running great up to that point. It's got the ZF auto in it so may be a good time to go ahead and swap in the six speed. Cool little package for this car, but I'm not sure what BMW was thinking by not putting an LSD in the rear end. Anyway, 2004 BMW 330i ZHP in silbergrau (silver gray). She's got some hail damage so I got her cheap...ish.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |
