I agree with that. I actually saw one sitting at a dealership last week, which was my first in person view. At the end of the day, it looks like an edgy Miata that costs too much.

Me? No. I got my Scat Pack locally. Was trying to hunt down a purple one (yes, seriously) but they were hard to find so my dealer ordered this one for me.

Not me. I drove one and it was crazy as all hell. I could never own one and not kill myself. Doesn't IA Chief (or Iowa Chief? sorry can't remember) have one?

Yet?:)

You have to respect the power. It can quickly get away from you. Owning a car with 485 HP is the most I've ever had under my foot. Adding 200 more HP :eek: Drive safe my friend.

You are a man of superior skill or restraint. :D

It helps that I've slowly worked my way up to it. My last four cars have been
2006 Mustang GT - 320HP
2012 GT500 - 580HP
1979 Corvette - 420HP
2015 Challenger Hellcat 700+HP

I need to get a pic of my car and truck parked next to each other.

Ok need some help, I bought the sister car to this one. Getting ready for paint, should I go back to the white and blue or something different?

I think I've always confused you as the same poster. Similar names!

Great cars, both of you.

It's times like this that I wish I was better with a wrench. I can do basic mechanics like switch a starter or alternator.....basic stuff but I'm a noob at bigger things. I have switched u joints and a transmission or two back in the day with some help.

Now....my pride and joy has serious motor issues...and has for a while. I bought a motor a while back and there were more differences than I could figure out.....so. Bought another and sent it to town to haVe it switched....just tired of not haVing it work and it's a little over my head without a lot of help.


In addition......while in the hunt for a motor, I accidentally brought home another project.......the one I think I just have to start taking things apart and figuring it out.
Time is a bigger problem than lack of tools and know how. The good news is older stuff is simpler and I think I can do it with the know how of my old man.
