im gonna head to vegas later this month or early Jan thats some nice advice there

 

Silver, thats a nice stable of rides you have there... especially the RX-7, S4, GTO..hell, the entire cast. Do you pay particular attention to any 1 vs the others? I would imagine that maintaining all those cars probably consume most of you time outside of work. Need any care takers for that 66 Mustang??

 

i'll vote as soon as there's an option for 'that's f*ckin money'

and socal... can your sig get any bigger dude? honestly

 

damn, silver, thanks for the advise!!! i'll definitely be checking out the car museum, and the Ghostbar, that sounds more like my style. i can't really afford to ball it up this weekend, especially with christmas coming up, so i'll probably stick to the casinos and try to stay away from the strip clubs...i've got about 500 bucks to blow...any other places like the ghostbar i should check out? i like hot girls, no fattys. where the lookers at?

 

gorgeous car silver...do you drive it on the street? the interior appears to be in "track trim"...i dont see a radio or anything (passenger seat)...

and if its a street car, do you race it? and what kind? i know that most drag racing sanctioning bodies require a cage for 11.49 and faster, but if you autocross it or road race it, the roll cage would help with the chassis rigidity...

 

i love it! looks fast as hell. rx-7 r sick......ferrari would be better jk

 

Suite: The Mustang was my first car, so that one will always mean something that the others can't quite hang with. I probably miss the Caddy the most, but I also made the most selling that one, so it would have been hard not to sell her. Beyond that, the four that I have now, FD, M5, Lightning, and Mustang can hold me over for quite some time (once I have the time to put the Mustang back together anyway, she's kinda mid-restoration right now).

bentframe: Bars aren't the big scene out here, so GhostBar is hard to beat. V Bar at Venetian could be a great place if they got better staff, but it's still worth a shot. The best thing about it is that they generally keep the music fairly low key, helps to promote conversation and whatnot. VooDoo Lounge is another low key place, good for chilling out. Red Square is, uhhh, different. If you like Vodka, you'd be in heaven there.

Patrick: Right now, she's just a street prowler. You mentioned "track trim", you have no idea. Currently I have no radio, no passenger seat, no A/C, no heater, no spare tire, no jack, radio speakers and antenna are gone, sound deadening is gone, front and rear bumper structures are gone, the driver's side window is soon to be gone, and the passenger side to be replaced with super thin Lexan, the ABS is gone, wipers and motors are gone, stock (heavy) radiator fans and associated relays are gone, no cat or air pump present, stock hood replaced with one of the lightest hoods you've ever seen, 14.6 pounds (so thin, you can see light through it), hell, I even took off the weatherstripping in my lightening fury. This has got to be one of the lightest road going FDs, out there. I need to weigh her after my last round of stripping, come to think of it, should be 25XX, or thereabouts.

I built her for road race purposes, but there is a snag. Obviously, as you know, I'd need a cage with door bars to run most tracks, but to put on the forward bars and still fit me in the car, I have to gut most of the interior, primarily the headliner and door panel. I'm not sure if I want to get that hardcore yet. She's already impractical, that would just push her over the edge to complete insanity. So I'm debating. I'm not a huge fan of drag racing, but here they do have the street class nights, where as long as it's registered and insured you can run it, no NHRA rules about cages and whatever else. For the moment, I think I'm content with her being a stoplight assassin and canyon killer.

99a4audi: I have yet to get passed by a Ferrari. Or pretty much anything. The ONE car (and driver) that's been able to pass me when I'm at my best was a buddy of mine in his modded GT2.

I've only run her at the dragstrip a few times, but my best was an 11.2 @ 129 on street tires (and that was with 10 inch wide tires even up front). That was before I went psycho and stripped off every single thing that the car didn't HAVE to have to run.

 

do you know what your whp is? and youre around 2500?

from what ive seen of FDs with the amount of mods (ive never seen one as lightened up as yours) they were well into the 12s, if not 11s...i believe that your current cage setup will allow you into most nhra and ihra tracks, so long as you have a helmet....i also have a car stripped for track purposes, but it still weighs 3700lbs...[&o]

 

u must be one rich son of a biatch......nice car though.

 

The only time she was on a dyno, she made 365 to the wheels at 13 lbs. The track runs were at slightly higher boost than that, maybe right on the edge of 15 lbs. All up weight at the time was probably about 2800 with fuel and me in her, give or take.

If I get the GT35, I should be able to manage 450 to the wheels, and with a 2500 lb dry weight and slicks an skinnies, I'd probably get low 10s, but drag racing is not what I built this car for. Only drag racing this car would be like dating Keira Knightely and only getting hand jobs.
