Foxbody
I asked Dan for a Foxbody!!!! He said maybe. I wanted a teal one
He wants to go with something "new". So, Honda is out. We have thought about the SUV thing, but it's not so great for a fun day at the track.
I think all of the cars seem built to their potential, but maybe that's why Dan is considering these. He wants to try to do something that seems impossible. I'm not sure. I am just guessing based on what I know about him. We shall see. We had been seriously considering the CTSV because he likes what he has researched about the engine and it's a 4 door. We would like to be able to look a little classier when we ride up to the downtown restaurants for onceInstead of clanking and clanging all over the place in a car with a huge ass wing :P
Does sound a little crazy. Too bad it doesn't fit into the new category![]()
I would say the CTS-V because the Z06 and most of the other cars are done by many other shops, if you all pull of a good CTS-V thats good at just about everything (which im sure you all will), you all will get alot more respect than just doing another GT500 or Z06 like every other shop
90 Integra....Sold
96 Jetta VR6...current money pit
Viper ACR would be sick.....fuck a skyline

get 1000 hp out of 3 cylinders.
From a business viewpoint? New GTR, develop things for it, and R&D.
I'll be the driver for free, and if I don't win, you can have my car. (no joke)
lololol! I'm sure they'll appreciate your motivation but how can you justify racing a 1,000 hp car that they would be investing 6 figures into. They get your Miata if you don't win or crash their car? What sanctioning bodies do you have competition licenses with?Originally Posted by simontibbett
I will pay for damage, I don't have the Miata anymore lol, I've had 4 cars since that lol. I traded the Miata for a Porsche 914.Originally Posted by speedminded

Yellow Supra, Widebody.
Best all around car bitches.
Thanks for the offer!!!! Considering we have 3 of our own drivers and a moooch or 2 hanging around the shop (ahem Big Baller) we have the driving covered. You could however run a BG sticker on your car and if you win, we'll give you 3 dyno pulls!!! I kid!Originally Posted by simontibbett
Allen, stfu. We sold our Supra for a reason. Played out since 1995.
QD, I mentioned the new part in a post I made in here...but we may also get an older car depending on how this car goes. I been wanting an oooold car.
Build an XLR-V. Twin Turbo 427ci with complete suspension setup. I wish someone would put the XLR front on a vette.Originally Posted by Tracy

Well shit we'll give you 3 dyno pulls for a sticker, but how would 3 dyno pulls help? That's just diagnostic.Originally Posted by simontibbett
Haha I guess it would provide info if mods I do helped?Originally Posted by Tracy
Like I said, ANYTHING counts.
Simon, you win an event with our sticker on your car and we'll give you 3 dyno pulls. Must have PROOF. Then we will take it from there. Not low level SCCA. Let me know when you go and we will discuss more.
Jason, Dan is looking at the Ultima and some other kit cars. Be nice if we could afford this: http://www.moslerauto.com
Real mods require tuning. You have yet to say what car it is, what software, anything.Originally Posted by simontibbett
Mmm...I was looking at Mosler late last night to see how their frames are but they're tubular steel just like Factory Five GTM.Originally Posted by Tracy
I will be making a visit to Mosler soon since they're in Riviera Beach, it's nice that they're fairly local compared to Ultima being in England. An old roommate of mine took a car down to a race shop next door and picked me up a couple Mosler posters while he was there when the MT900 first went into production in '01.
Looked at Factory 5 too. Too bad all the kit cars are so dang ugly.
Build a Locost type car but with an INSANE drivetrain.
Topless and completely uncomfortable. Not on the same level as any of the vehicles they've mentioned.Originally Posted by simontibbett
CTS-V
Nothing like a stout luxury car that sounds mean as hell and has the hp to back it up.
Mini tub the rear and put some decent shoes on it, PLEASE!
Something like thisOriginally Posted by 2.3 Evo 8
new Outlaw 10.5 CADILLAC XLR
Im voting other and gonna pull a car outta my ass on this one too.
A 91-95 Acura Legend. Reason being: the car could be capable of alot, but needs people with the know how to make it. Seeing your work, it would be a very good platform, that has potential but is often overlooked.
The engine is a 3.2L and can be powerful, stock it moves the heavy car with everything in about 15seconds down the quarter.
I know its a long shot, but i thought Id give it a try.
LOLOLOLOL! Seriously? A 3,000lb FWD?Originally Posted by smoknlegend

You know this is Batlground right? They were running 9's nearly a decade ago on street tires.
That and why bother building a car that will already make you look like Michael Schumacher?Originally Posted by Vteckidd
Couldn't agree more.R34 Skyline GTR
Played out
Doesn't get my vote. Car already has power,more than an enough info on how to make power, etc, etc, honestly its simply too easy.C6 Corvette Z06
Gets my vote (played out, sure, but it would be nice to see an import shop build a domestic) and it would finally shut tracy up if you got one :P
Why build a vette when you could build a Caddy? I still think this one's too easy as well.2009 CTSV with supercharger
Arent they already supercharged? But why build a Caddy when you can build a vette
Don't necessarily hate but still think this is too easy as wellGT500 Ford Mustang
hate fords
That and too easy lolViper ACR
played out
Depends on which version but also gets mine.Pontiac G8
Love the G8s! gets my vote
AgreedLexus SC300 with 2JZGTE
played out
ISF gets my first vote/choice. Not a lot of people have gotten serious power out of these things and this would be a great opportunity for Batlground to show its capabilties as fabricator and researcher.Lexus ISF
too nice of a car to do anything too

i say buy my camaro and put a turbo LSx w/ T56 in it =]
but id deff say go for the vette out of the list.
Ya 3k with interior. Thats why i threw it from outta my ass!Originally Posted by speedminded
They offered an other, I replied. No harm done.
And the engine has potential..........only a few have tried.
They wanted something different......its different alright. I just get tired of seeing the same builds and buzz over cars that have been built before. I mean I dont see anything really unique in their list of cars in the poll. And because of their past, i figured they would want a challenge.
I mean while a legend hasnt been made rwd, the engine has been used in a few RWD conversions (while mainly on civics.) Was worth a shot.
id say c6 is best bang for buck
Thank God! C6 is winning finally![]()
I said ctsV but I would rather see you guys do a stsV I think that would be a lil more sleeper
i say r33 or something not ordinarily seen/done.
Voted other .... being a ford guy ...... lincoln MKVIII
pros: N/A cobra engine(4.6 DOHC)
RWD
Excellent sleeper
Looks (some like it.....
Cons: Rear Suspension(dont see it being to much of a problem for btlgrnd)
Transmission(easy fix)
Aftermarket support
Looks ....and some dont)
