1989 Chevy Beretta GT (2.8L V6 w/3spd auto)

~101,500 miles

I've had the car up to 115... the govenor kicked in so I can't do much about it unless I get a aftermarket ECU. It runs VERY strong for a car of its age. I didn't want a auto, but then again, I didn't want a sports car.

Hubs,

I'll race you ;) :D

Check out ClubGP for all sorts of info on Grand Prixs... my roommate has a '00 GTP and it has a few mods ;) Quick car for the boat that it is.

93 Nissan Maxima
black emerald

107k miles.

Car computer with color TFT LCD display, wireless remote and keyboard. GPS navigation (w/CoPilot software) and mp3s (no playstation or DVDs, I prefer other forms of recreation in my vehicle).

Tis a good car. I've only been up to 110, but it's capable of much more. I'd need better tires for that though.

A 1989 Dodge Conversion Van fully loaded with tv, vcr, Sega/Nintendo, 10 Disc CD Changer and many many other options. It only has 70k on it and 20K of that I put on in the last 6 months. I got a really good deal on it at $2k as it lists for $7k in excellent condition, which it is in, at least that is what Kelly Blue Book says. I love it anyway.

I drive a 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a 1.8L enigne making 92 horsies and not much more torque. Shes going to hit 150,000 miles here really soon. I've taken her up to 90MPH (I did the other day) but that's just stupid fast, I hardly ever go over 80.

I've got a '95 Veedub GTi VR6. I took it up to about 100MPH in 3rd gear a couple time. Still got two more gears to go. I'm not too concerned about how much faster it is because it hit's 100MPH very quickly. Plus, I'm fairly confident in my manlyhood and don't need a wreckless endangerment ticket and a a couple days in slammer to prove it :)

Let's just say that my little black box on wheels is quicker than she looks :)

1997 Nissan Maxima SE 5spd Black /w black interior and tint. Every option available. currently has 53k miles, I bought it at 51k miles. Great car, hella fast. I have hit 120mph, but that was not maxxed out, and I will not do it again, unless it is on a racetrack somewhere. My tires are rated to 130 or something, I think, I need to double check that. I have hubcaps though, and they are ugly. When these tires need replacing, I will probably get some 17" rims and tires.

1990 Mazda rx-7 'vert. Regularly aspirated. No Turbos in 'verts sold in the USA (emissions problems), but I'm considering a supercharger for next year. Speed - 120 with the top down and 3000 rpm left on tach, lots of room left. Handled at that speed just like it does at 60. Which is both good and bad! It's a dog up to about 25, but once that rotary hits some rpm, watch out!

Pioneer 6.5 two ways in doors. 6.5 mid-bass behind seats. 12" generic dvc woofer in a teeny tiny custom box with a Sony 100x2 (4ohm) amp I got at the Sony outlet for cheap driving it. Stock head unit cause its a crappy 1 2/3 DIN size and because it already has an outboard amp and switching for the head rest speakers, so changing it out will truly suck.

Next up are Yokohama avsDB tires. And an H&K intake filter.
