Tell these guys about the odometer reading! Porsches are meant to be driven, this one is all about that!

Sold? If you dont mind me asking, how much did you let it go for? And what mods did you have?
Someone stole it for $19,900. I had to sell it quick cause I just lost my job, and the way the job market is right now, it`s going to be a while til I get another one (I`m in computer networking). That is a big reason why I havent been participating here like I used to.
As far as mods, all it had was an ATI D1SC supercharger with twin intercoolers. I also had the computer reprogrammed and added a fuel system. It was definitely fun while it lasted.

Here's our garage:
A 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, dynoed 298@ front wheels:


Then we have our 1999 GMC Denali, no engine upgrades yet, but wheels, and flame decals:


Here I am listing a group of my toys I actually just sold. I have three boys so.. Looking for a 1955 Chevy to work on with all three of them. First up our 1972 Trans Am: Which by the way, if you collect diecast cars in 1/64 scale, Playing Mantis' Johnny Lightning division used my car as one of their models in their Firebird series:

The 72 Firebird was a 455 HO 4 spd car with Lucerne Blue paint. Less than 100 of these were built.

Next up, and the last car I sold was my baby, and very hard to let go. It was a 1973 SD-455 Trans Am, only 180 cars built with an automatic. This car was also used by Johnny Lightning in their Classic Gold series. Also in 1/64 scale.


Lastly and the first of the three cars to be sold is this 1974 SD-455 Trans Am of which their were only 731 built with an auto.


Thanks for letting me share my rides.
Chris

Hoping to upgrade to a Pontiac Fiero; cheap, cheap parts, easy to work on, and fun to drive!
Easy to work on... what kind of crack are you smoke buddy? I woke in an Auto shop, and Fiero's are the worst. You have to drop the whole motor out or lift a motor mount to do about anything. I wouldn't recommend getting a Fiero they are just a cofin on wheels.

Re: What kind of car do you drive in real life?

Kunta - Thanks for picture! I saw it in your gallery last night - COOL!

Supratuner - I wasnt on the Parkway last night, I was driving back to Greenville SC from an IPMS show in Atlanta, where I received Best Auto for my black and red Ferrari Enzo, recently seen in the pages of AF! WooHoo!!!

Had a great time at the IMPS show. Saw Veyron, ZoomZoomMx5, ScuderiaFerrari, and met Cadguy.

As ZoomZoom Mx5 said, Porsches are meant to be driven. My '86 Carrera has 205,000 miles on it. Engine has never been opened. Recent leakdown and compression test has it within 5% of the factory specs!
