I know I will probably get flamed like crazy because this isn't a civic or 240sx, but I would like to think that someone on here might actually appreciate a "real" car and the fact that this particular example is....well....a piece of art. Enjoy

"Real" car = performance car built from the factory....i.e. supra, rx-7, gtr, sti, evo, corvette, ect.....not some econo box that someone puts thousands of dollars into just to run low 14's.

I looked all over the pictures in the first post, but couldn't find anything with any "muscle". Seemed that the car in those photos was missing the key thing that makes a car powerful and fast - the blue oval..... :-p

Oh yes....F.O.R.D( or as known internally, FixedOrRepairedDaily) i believe a for one to qualify as a "muscle" car it needs 350ci or more....![]()

Car looks mean!
People always say how much money is needed to make a honda fast, but when it comes down to it, how much did you pay for your Mustang, Evo, Corvette? A Lambo can beat a corvette, a Corvette can smoke a civic, another civic can smoke the civic that beat a Lambo. It all depends on the individual car. Personally if i have all the money in the world, I will still drive a 90s Honda any day of the week.

A saleen however nice is still only 281ci...
So, then your 350 would have no problem showing my little SC'ed 302 what muscle is? :-)
BTW - FORD stands for First On Race Day.....
In all fairness...i'm no longer 350ci....but yes....i think i can handle that.
Very true....hence why top fuel dragsters are not standard shift.Auto is faster.

Auto all day on a beast like that... Put a mean stall ftw on a roll or dig. Ws6 is one of my fav cars other then a zo6 will own both cars one day!
SC'ed 351W were available in the Saleens.
I think that you might need a bigger turbo to handle the current setup in my foxbody. And that's with the engine that is in it right now. I'm getting ready to change the bottom end, as mine is hurt right now. The blue oval provides a lot of power....... :-)

Yes you are right about the 351w...very powerful indeed. The snail on the motor now is more than enough....blew through 3 factory rear ends....ironically i had to go with a ford 9"lol

Geoff - I like your car - just was giving you a hard time (Ford vs Chevy)...

Actually that set up is a bit old...about 2 years old. the old snail had to be upgraded as it kept running out of juice around 6400 rpms. Throw in a new cam and GTX4202R and I should be ready for the new season up at commerce.
My other car is powered by chevy as well......doubt you could step up to it

unfortunately however clean and nice those cars are....no they would not be considered "real" cars as per the definition i gave earlier. unfortunately unless your car runs 12's these days....you would be hard pressed to keep up with any modern "performance" car.
+1starter solenoid is why you keep a long screw driver in your car at all times.... and ford ignitions are garbage, gotta go push button.
