I plan on opening my own shop one day with my best friend who i've known since kindergarten.

Goal for the car now is 620-650rwhp @18+lbs on E85. 700+rwhp on a race tune w/ a Torco mix and a lot more timing

First rule of life is never go into business with somebody else if you can help it.
Second rule of life is never go for big numbers on E85.

j/k but why do you have E85 goals? Seems counterproductive to me.

Dream car.

Most of you probably have no idea what this car even is. Even fewer of you have probably ever seen one in real life.

Only 547 ever produced.

GNX? I thought everybody knew after Training Day.
*EDIT*
He had a Monte Carlo I think, not a GNX. What movie am I thinking of with a GNX???

Because E85 will make more power than normal pump fuel, granted the vehicle can handle the ethanol content.

never go for big numbers on E85.

you srs? Can make WAY more power on E85 with the right tune in my car...

E85 is 105-110 Octane depending on the mix = more boost + timing and less detonation (burns cooler too).

Today I Learned. Wasn't serious with the "big numbers" comment, it was more because when people talk about big numbers they talk about race fuel. I was blissfully unaware that it was such a high octane though. No E85 in my area.

Yeah, E85 is pretty amazing and about a 1/3 cheaper than C16/Torco. I'm starting to see more and more E85 pumps being installed, so I think it's just a matter of time before you see one in your area.

[Diesel0022]

None around here, we have one that should be ready by summer, its over an hour away though.

Its all Power Mist around here for race fuel.

[13donniedarko]

Meth/water is another option. Lol winter washer fluid.

[Diesel0022]

Meth/water is another option. Lol winter washer fluid.

Cant even say thats an option as you dont run water/meth all the time. Its auxiliary and usually boost dependent.

[thefleshlight]

hmmm, why does your license plate say vortec super charged when I can see intercooler/turbo in plain sight?

I LOL'd

You're only partially right.

That's the GNX

GNX are the titties.

Here's a shot of mines as a few weeks ago; that milk crate isn't holding the lower core support either, it was there for me to climb in and outta the bay before I removed the core support:

Hemi engines, the best way to turn gasoline into noise without the side effect of power

LMAO! Used to drive a Magnum SRT8 that could scoot

[Diesel0022]

My dad had a Charger SRT8, he lives in Florida currently, thing didnt move. Opened it up on the SunCoast highway. Very disappoint. He switched back to diesel trucks quite fast.

I could handle mike in regards to cars, but when it comes to 2:1:1 or 4:1:1 BCAA's he takes the cake

0-60 < 5 seconds is not moving???

[Diesel0022]

It was probably about 5 seconds even due to the spin before TC kicked in. 0-60 was good, after that it didnt entertain me, I got pulled by a funny looking volkswagon GTI 55-100. Talk about a hit to your pride, even though it was not OE. He's always had quick cars so Im kind of spoiled when it comes to driving fast cars, he has yet to buy me anything, but the SRT8 was probably at the middle of the spectrum in regards to his past/present cars. It was nice, but nothing that grabbed me, and the interior pissed me off.

hemis are finicky... they have 16 sparkplugs that if even one of them is sour... well then they fall flat rather quickly... but when in tune.. i dont belive you have a leg to stand on in your lament.

That's why you always beware the ricers brah. Most of them are **** and rigged together, but there are a few out there that will torch you. My friend has a 100% stock, rust free CRX on the outside other than lowered with black RPF1's, but under the hood has 440 ponies with a Garrett GT30. I saw him pull on a rustang while he was in 3rd doing 75. I mean PULLED on him.

I spy an LSX

LS2 with a lot of goodies developing over 500hp to the wheels from its donor

Can't have anything too fancy, Maine winter's tend to destroy nice things

would LOVE to have one of these, with dark window tint. would drive like a bat out of hell ALL THE TIME!

My Dad has always been into cars, a few years back he picked up one of these rare Spirits and had it for a couple years. It was one of the quickest cars I've ever been in.

Ugly as hell, but hardly your average 90's grocery getter. There are videos of this car all over youtube smoking corvettes, mustangs, imports, and other turboed compacts.

The 1991 Dodge Spirit RT turbo.

Sold in 1991 and 1992, the Spirit R/T had a quarter-mile time of 14.5 seconds at 97 mph and a top speed of 141 mph, making it the quickest four-door sedan sold in the United States (the fastest mass-produced four-door sedan in the world. Two cars sold only in Europe might have been faster: the handmade BMW E34 M5 and Alpina B10, selling for the equivalent of $59,905 and $109,500, respectively. Thanks, Stephen, for details on the competition.)

top speed 226.9 kph / 141.0 mph
0 - 60 mph 5.8 seconds
0 - 1/4 mile 14.5 seconds
epa city/hwy 19 / 27 mpg

Safe to say everything was intact as it only had 1300 miles on the OD when I drove it.

Took out a friends 300zx last night, holy crap.

Was going to get a ZXTT, but they are a weeee bit tight in the engine bay. Not a "fun" car to work on
