Aimed right at the OP as time is short. I think I know what you mean. You don't mean whatever shitcan whoever might beat around town in, but more like what kind of car is YOU ! In a word - BIG. And with an engine to match, and I mean over 400 HP out the box. What I do to it later is my own business, but I need the right raw materials. GM, big block with a THM400 or better, maybe a stick shift. In either case a sleeping silent rocket, ready to throw you in the back seat with a simple push of the gas pedal. Silent, large maybe oversize exhaust, no markings or numbers and bullshit. Just balls. Just let these punks show up in their IROC Zs and other whitetrashmobiles. OOOH yaeh, your four bolt main will eject your drivesheft out on the street before I even hit second gear. (this actually happened to me once, I really do feel sorry for laughing my ass off but, tough shit) And never race title for title, what the hell do I want with a car I can beat ? A decent stereo helps, when members of our illustrious younger generation pull alongside "BOOM BOOM BOOM", yas need a bit of wattage to get the Willie Nelson on. Or whatever. Remember I satarted all this shit, really. I built my first car amp in about 1977, yes that's right, I was 17 at the time. These ampzillas and shit were literally unheard of at the time, and my car stereo resulted in alot of questions. You couldn't just go pick up a thousand watt amp for a hundred bucks at Crutchfield back then. And tires - they have to hold air. But my car should almost be able to beat the police radfio and have just a few things. Like a seat for example, next comes the creature comforts, like a seat, somewhere to put my beer and working AC is always a plus, if it has windows. The most important thing is what happens when you mash down on the gas pedal, really. The other day I saw an ad for a car sporting 300 HP. Dammit I said 400 HP, if those ninnies can't get it right no thirty grand for them. Back to combing the boneyards for ferrous prospectus. Anything with the bumpers still attached has potential, as long as it was built by GM. (over about 30 years ago) T
