Its apparent EVERYONE forgot Lee Iaccoa pulled dodge out of there own ASS in the mid 80's. Dodge was absolutely bankrupt before Lee left Ford and took the original Ford design for Mini-vans. Shit I can name numerous JUNKS that all of the big three manufacturers have made. To say one is better than the other is quite absent minded. Anyone got some cash they wanna wager on my Ford let me know.I love findin that Vette or Viper at the red light

Loser....do you wear your hat backwards, too? You can't even afford tires, let alone a car that is trailered to a track.
:1orglaugh

Cmon out to chicago south side. Bring your car and cash. And it will be driven on the street. No problem

haha...smoke my cock, liar. :1orglaugh
What board did you steal the pic from? Yo yo yo, G! :1orglaugh

known about this car for a long time, working for a dealer. it's defininitely a nice car for a ford, but it's disappointing that ford has to make a $100k+ car just to compete with the $36k vette on performance.

every one of their attempts in the last few decades to beat out the camaros and vettes have been miserable failures. even the cobras, the new special-edition mach 1, and even most of the svt stuff has been a dud. disappointing.

really, comparing product to product, gm has ford out-classed in every model, with no exception. on every base you can find a better package, more performance, and more durability. often even more options. only recently has ford even really become competitve with things like the gt40, the new rebuilt expedition, and the mellenia S special edition. the new 6 seems to be a pretty nice car, but they hit the lot just after i left, so i haven't driven one. the protege is a fairly zippy car with the stick, and the mazdaspeed protege is a contender. if you can find one. the escape/tribute is the fastest small SUV i've driven. probably has just as much power as the explorer (i can't remember).

in the end, they're slowly starting to compete, but it's going to take a while. look at the tbird. brought back a classic, and again, priced it to be too expensive for anyone to want to buy. end production. oh well. fuck fords.

oh, i will give them props for the power 3rd seat and heated and AIR CONDITIONED front seat in the new expedition. not sure why they made air conditioned seats, but it's a cool gadget.

Ya ok

funny thing though. your car is a little more modded than we see on race nights. but every highly modified STREET ford there was getting spanked by stock f-bodies. must suck to be a ford owner.


and if you want to race apples to apples... i know a little civic that goes to the track that would SPANK your mustang :glugglug

Doesn't even look like an Illinois plate to me.
Do you have a 12 inch dick, too?
Look! I can link too! Wheeeee!

It's not his car..... :1orglaugh

Ya ok bring that ricer . Make sure you got CV axles for it too:1orglaugh The stang went 8.30's. That ricer civic is a joke. Apples for apples in street racing. LMAO Ok Run what ya brung

Your right it s a virginia plate . I lived there did you know

Go take a picture of 'your' car with a sign that says "p00p is going to make me cry"

50

TUPAC IS ALIVE

Saw about a month ago good shit if they only priced it around 70k

FUCK

Ya ok let me run out for ya p00p no problem. 1 hour to get to the shop

ok, why do all these different states have like 6 billion license plates? i think oregon is that way too, as many license plate designs as there are on the road. we have 2. vehicles all have the same design (they recently forced all farm/commercial light truck licenses to use the car plates), and all the gov't/large commercial/historical/etc plates look the same.

oh, forgot one. if you want to pay $70 extra you can get university plates, so 3 designs.

premature ejaculation? :1orglaugh

Ah, you have a shop too! This tale could grow quite large, I am sure.....

alright, if it posts 8.30's, you're faster. but is it really that impressive to have a car like that, and it's less than a second faster than a civic in the quarter?

Ya ok I dont your right, http://www.woodsracingengines.com Geez you oughta know my email by know I submit everyday to ya. But since your anti-Ford I guess thats over HUH?

Ok your maybe not understanding what a second is in Drag Racing. Its the world. You know what a second looks like at 185 mph in 1320 feet. Impressive? I dont know, it makes good weekend money

:waaaaahh

discontinuing business because he doesn't like fords? i dunno about you, but a ford guy brings a car into my shop, i fix it, take the dough, and watch it get smoked next weekend :Graucho

You should use all that coin your making and hire a decent designer.

delayed!

know what an extra 150hp of nitrous would do to a civic? who cares about the motor, it's a race car. blow the bitch up and do it again. :Graucho

Nah racing guys could give a fuck about design

this car is prototype and from what i understand (although drunk) it will remain like this. This is nothing more than the continue of GT40 and GT60 (if i remember well). Real supercars with unrealistic price ranges. Let me find some GT40 pics......

Dude are you another "4" inch pipe with a Type-R sticker civic guy. Now that shits hilarious:1orglaugh

Quick question. What is so special or unique about what you are doing with a 2 bit, dime a dozen car?

Wow.

Nothin special or unique. What unique a stock F-Body with flowmaster's? I dont understand. OR how about the rear spoilers on front wheel drive civics ? I guess I dont understand

amazing cars, but they have lots of mechanical problems like all prototypes. GT40 of 1968 was produced in very limited parts and I know a guy had bought this car back then.

no, actually, despite what i say about ricers, i HATE them. especially the ones with 4" exits and fake type-r stickers. i hate them. i talk more shit about imports around here than anyone i know. unfortunately, i have to work on a lot of them. the civic i'm talking about is just about business. you know, in other countries, those cars are their pro/street? this car is gutted, pizza cutters on the rear, fatties on the front, fiberglass front clip.

but here's something to think about. i haven't done this, because i depend on my truck for a daily driver, it has really low miles, and i'm going to keep it stock for quite a while (until i can get my other projects finished). it's a mazda b2200. we've seen it, it's been proven, for about $1500 i can make my truck a fairly reliable daily driver in the mid 10's. not bad for a $1500 conversion, and i'm not talking about throwing in a v8. the main problem is the rear end. we've already shattered the rear end a few times in another b2200 with a 90 v6 chev conversion. they're only meant for about 100 hp. the nice thing is, the mazdas and chevy shares the same 6-bolt wheel pattern. so, throw a nice 12-bolt under it (although keeping the mazda motor).

so, take $1500 from whatever you've spent, and i bet i could get the truck in the low 8's. not bad for a completely stock-looking (besides some mandatory wider rear tires) rice-grinder.

i'll always take a nice v8 over a rice grinder. but my oooollld chevy truck was showing its age, and eating gas like a mofo so i needed something a little more reliable and preferrably easier on gas.

i think the car would be very sweet, if they could get it in a reasonable price range (say, $40k or below?). kinda like they're trying to make a new pantera ;)

When you pass puberty you just may.

The truck would never hook. What were the 60' times?

Dude your hilarious, if you can name one advantage to having a wing(which aids keepin the the rear end down at 185mph) on a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR which would effectivley lift the front end. Make NO sense whatsoever.

i knew you'd ask that, and i honestly can't remember.

i know traction would be a HUGE problem. if i was really going to go that route, i'd do it right. it's too low for slapper bars. it's got a 3" drop, and i get stuck in car washes. the rear springs are down too far. probably what i'd do is tub it and get some decent meat out back, and use ladder bars. a 4-link is too much work. then, put drag shocks/springs on it. i'd have to redo the front suspension though, because it uses torsion bars. not sure how i'd do that without a strut front end or some shit, but i wouldn't REALLY want to get into that. this is, after all, a daily driver. the other problem is the overall weight of the vehicle. usually low weight is good, but the new motor would probably actually reduce the front end weight, so the only hope really is just to get as much on the back as possible.
