Seems like we need one on here to talk cars, mods and the coolness of your or their car.

Interested? Chime in

I agree with that. I actually saw one sitting at a dealership last week, which was my first in person view. At the end of the day, it looks like an edgy Miata that costs too much.

Me? No. I got my Scat Pack locally. Was trying to hunt down a purple one (yes, seriously) but they were hard to find so my dealer ordered this one for me.

Not me. I drove one and it was crazy as all hell. I could never own one and not kill myself. Doesn't IA Chief (or Iowa Chief? sorry can't remember) have one?

Yet?

You have to respect the power. It can quickly get away from you. Owning a car with 485 HP is the most I've ever had under my foot. Adding 200 more HP

Drive safe my friend.

You are a man of superior skill or restraint.

**IA_Chiefs_fan** · 03-28-2016, 08:27 AM

It helps that I've slowly worked my way up to it. My last four cars have been
2006 Mustang GT - 320HP
2012 GT500 - 580HP
1979 Corvette - 420HP
2015 Challenger Hellcat 700+HP

I need to get a pic of my car and truck parked next to each other.

Ok need some help, I bought the sister car to this one. Getting ready for paint, should I go back to the white and blue or something different?

I think I've always confused you as the same poster. Similar names!

Great cars, both of you.

It's times like this that I wish I was better with a wrench. I can do basic mechanics like switch a starter or alternator.....basic stuff but I'm a noob at bigger things. I have switched u joints and a transmission or two back in the day with some help.

Now....my pride and joy has serious motor issues...and has for a while. I bought a motor a while back and there were more differences than I could figure out.....so. Bought another and sent it to town to haVe it switched....just tired of not haVing it work and it's a little over my head without a lot of help.

In addition......while in the hunt for a motor, I accidentally brought home another project.......the one I think I just have to start taking things apart and figuring it out.
Time is a bigger problem than lack of tools and know how. The good news is older stuff is simpler and I think I can do it with the know how of my old man.
