Default Have another performance car besides the Vette? Lets see them.

Had the Vette since 2006 and still do. But wanted something different so I picked up a Nissan 350 z. Really like the car. Show me what you have.

Are there any others? LOL!

I can only afford one.

I would have to spend another boat load of cash....would rather spend it on this one instead.

I have owned/ raced this '70 Challenger R/T (yes it was a real one before being cut up) square tube chassis car since 2003, 9.0's at 151 with a 501" Indy headed wedge. I am putting in a 572" aluminum indy motor going in this winter and hope to crack into the 8's.






Got paid to do this ad with Dodge in 2010

Here is what my wife calls the other woman at times as we restified this '72 Road Runner in '96 , it is a 400 - 4 speed car, I slipped a 440 crank in the numbers matching 400 so it is officially a 451" now. Lots of low torque.

05 CTS-V here.

Even better, the motor parts are mostly interchangeable!

Here is my 1968 Camaro that I built in 1987. It has a 468 big bloock with 12 to 1 compression and a lunati roller cam and with other mods it's putting out 600HP. This motor was installed in 2003. A 505 cubic inch is presently being built with brodix alum heads and will be sporting a 871 blower making about 1000 HP. Here is a picture of it when it was in the World of Wheels auto show in Birmingham,Al. here is a link to a short Youtube video take when the 468 was installed.
Be sure and have the speakers on. Thanks Pat

For a somewhat lower value of "performance"...this is the car the C5 replaced, with the car it replaced in the background:
