This car is tight.

[notfred]

I want it.

 

[Maleficus]

rrrrrrrrrrrright whatever you say

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Too bad it looks like butt...

 

[N8Magic]

P O S

Nice tach, like that big V8 would ever come close to 10K RPM's.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

<< P O S

Sure it would, for about 3.8 seconds...

 

[halik]

ugh, those are ugly. He shouldve gotten a newer body style one.

why would you want 10k rpm?

 

[SinNisTeR]

that person paid a little tooooooooooo much.............

[Thegonagle]

I was liking it, until I read "carburetor". I hate carburetors.

I love sleepers though. This looks like a good one.

 

[raptor13]

It says right in the desription that the engine is limited to 5800rpm... thus confirming the utter uselessness of that tach. I bet that thing is still pretty quick though I'd much rather have the Ferraris it "kills."

 

[Evadman]

It does look good fro a sleeper. Sad thing is, both LOUST's and my truck can eat it for breakfast, and neither of us spent 60,000 on our vehics

<edit>
Oh, and both of our trucks are over 5000 LBs, not 3000 like this Mustang The carbon fiber valve covers do look sorta cool tho.

What truck do you have that runs faster than 12.4?

 

[Evadman]

Loust has a Chevy 1500 that runs mid 12's and I have a 2500 dodge with a supercharged V-10 with a personal best of 11.09 @ 129 MPH

<edit>
I am sure Loust's will do beter, as he runs it "mile high" not near sea level like myself. I am trying to find his post where he told me his best, but I am not having much luck.
<edit#2> I love edits
Ok, I pulled my timeslip. I was off on the times and the speed. My bad, I haven't been to the track in a little while.
1/4 mile: 11.07
Speed (trap): 124.56 MPH.
My bad. sorry
And sorry for misspelling your name Laust, My spelling sux.

 

[notfred]

not bad

 

[TrueBlueLS]

I think it's pretty cool. It's a lot quicker than my Cavalier.

You didn't read a damn thing did you? Did you happen to read this:

0-60.............................4.0 sec
1/4 Mile........................12.4 sec
1/4 Mile trap speed..............119 mph
Top Speed.......................160+ mph
60-0 braking......................118 ft
Curb Weight......................3120lbs

Does your truck do the 1/4 mile in 12.4? Can it do 0-60 in 4.0 seconds? Can it outhandle a Ferarri at the track? I don't think so. And it's spelled LAUST. His truck only does the 1/4 mile in ~15 seconds. (High 13's for regular altitude) And can you say you built your own car? I don't think so. It's about pride.

 

[Thegonagle]

Well, he didn't say specifically that he spent $60,000 on it.

And can your 5000 lb. trucks really kill this 3200 lb., 6 speed 400 HP mustang? I have my doubts.

EDIT: I'll take the light-weight any day. Weight is the enemy of automotive performance. This thing's also a carbureted NA engine. With a charger and some FI, no truck would take this thing.

 

<< why would you want 10k rpm? >>


You need rpm to make horsepower, simple mathematics.

 

[Evadman]

Does your truck do the 1/4 mile in 12.4?
Only in my personal best. See above.
<edit>
And that is my BEST, not by any means my "normal or average"
</edit>
Can it do 0-60 in 4.0 seconds?
when I launch in 4 wheel yes.
Can it outhandle a Ferarri at the track?
No way in hell
And can you say you built your own car?
Built it, no. Work on it, yes.

Well, he didn't say specifically that he spent $60,000 on it.
He did say it would cost 60,000 to "reproduce". I chose to see that as him spending that much on it.
6 speed
It actually says it is a auto right under the picture.

My truck is in no way a "track runner" not even close. It will only go straight. I have never maxed it out in spped, as the front end comes off the ground at about 130. My truck has all the aerodynamic properties of a brick.

EDIT: I'll take the light-weight any day. Weight is the enemy of automotive performance. This thing's also a carbureted NA engine. With a charger and some FI, no truck would take this thing.
I totaly agree. If the engine was maxed out, he would kill me. He is all engine. I need forced induction.

I agree on the weight thing, BUT you could say that about any NA engine. Why don't you just put some NOS on that Mustang while your at it.

 

[worth]

<< Does your truck do the 1/4 mile in 12.4? >>



I think he said it does it in 11.09.

 

[Static911]

I like that car. Guy put a lot of money and time into that machine.

[Thegonagle]

It's a 6 speed manual. Quoted from the auction:

On Feb-06-02 at 13:58:40 PST, seller added the following information:

I was just made aware of a mistake in this auction. At the top it states the car has an AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. That is incorrect. This car is a 6-speed manual.
[*]T-56 6 speed manual with 3.55 gears. (Same GM trans as used in Corvette).

So there!

 

[Evadman]

I hereby retract my earlier ststement My bad

<< I want it. >>


Sweet-ass setup...but I'd rather have it in a 60's Mustang body...just personal preference...
