I dont think i called you middle aged. But a 6 foot tall football player might look funny driving that car as well.

I wanna race too like i said my crown vic has got enough work done to it to pass most of the cars mentioned on a straight away it will fry the rubber off the wheels the best part is i can do all of this while being imensly comfortable remember there is no replacement for displacement the cars youve mentioned with the exception of the viper all have 6 bangers at best the next step for my car is to add a supercharger to it and really wake up that motor im expecting to bring it up to 650 rwhp dont belive me check this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAWuH...eature=related
anyways its a cheap way to have one of the fastest most comfortable cars out there :biggrin:

Now, I may be biased here gentlemen, but speaking of a small explosive charge....
I gotta say you could always pony up 6 or 7 grand for a mint 1g eagle talon and then put another 4 or 5 into the engine and drivetrain and be putting out 450 at the wheels...

Thats what i did.

Gahh, 77 Trans Am, Pure Pontiac Power here, 462CI, Buckets of Tq, :D
Updated suspension of course, made to turn corners.....FAST :razz:

Give me a few years to get my dime on the road.. :mrgreen:

I bet I get my Miata running before you get your 510 Ryan! :razz:

I guess I should mention at this point that I am currently building a project car as a hobby. Me and my dad have built hot rods all my life together and I've always owned an old school VW beetle since I was 15. So I'm currently building a 1964 Canadian Standard VW Beetle. Bone stock interior except a roll cage, Factory color, Lowered a bit with polished five spokes and M&H cheater slicks out back. Powerplant will be a 2332 cc turbocharged (20psi), fuel injected, nitroused VW based mill that I'm hoping will put out at least 500 horse before the 125 shot of juice.


Yahooo:mrgreen:

Just wondering if you ended up getting a Lotus. I've been looking into them pretty seriously lately. Like yourself, having a tough time deciding between the Exige and the Elise....

If you have the money for the Exige go for it. Its faster and looks 100% more sexy compared to the Elise. The Elise is still a great car but more of an entry level lotus, simlar to buying a 1 series BMW.

Which btw, right now as much as I hate BMW drivers god i am in love with the 335. Saw a white coupe last night and those are gorgous cars. I haven't had the chance to driven 1 yet (perks of being a mechanic) but the 328 and 330's felt like a really heavy car. Hopefully the performance out of the 335 makes up for how heavy they are.

Than again with lotus remember you have to be a small guy for these cars. 6' is the tallest and anything over 190pounds and your going to feel cramped in them. None the less a great car and built for performance and handling.
