Ok so what do we rip the streets or cruise the highways in? I currently rattle around in a Toyota Camry Prominent (2.5 V6, do you have those in US?),also I have a 94' Mitsi Lancer MX Extra, 1.5, both autos :)

in the US, i think we have the Camry V-6 3.0 liter. but most of the camry's are stupid 4 cylinders! i hate them! but i think the V6 version is pretty good ;)

I've got a couple rides myself. My daily driver to and from work is an old, beat-up (but still running very well) 1985 Mercury Marquis. My other car is just about a polar opposite. It is a 1994 Integra, slammed with a Jackson Racing supercharger, AEM Cold-Air Intake, DC Sports 4-1 stainless steel headers, Mugen twin-loop exhaust, as well as Powerstop cross-drilled brake rotors and Metal Matrix pads on the front wheels and Auto Meter boost and air/fuel ration gauges.

Lets see....

Yeah, I think the US only gets the so-called Euro - Toyotas, ie the 2.2l 16v 4 cylinder and a 3.0V6, those are crap, especially the 2.2 with an auto box, a mobility scooter can overtake that I bet. It's a well known fact though that Japan keeps its best for the domestic market, and here in New Zealand we get them as second hand imports, so we've got the Camry 1.8 4cyl, 2.0 4cyl, 2.0 4WS, 2.0Diesel, and top of the line Camry Prominent 2.5V6, any of these would easily beat the Euro ones in equipment and engine performance, For example even the 1990 2.0 Camry has climate air standard, and the Prominent V6 has CD/MD, sattelite navigation etc,:D i think its gonna be another 10 or more years before the euro models catch up to that level :(

I drive my 91 Dodge Stealth RT/TT..Its fast enough for me as a daily driver, hehe

At the moment I have an 88 and 85 RX-7, both non turbo :(. I had an 88 RX-7 Turbo II, but it got totaled. I sold my 81 RX-7 a few months back.

I'm with you, there is nothing like boost building in your engine from forced induction. I think it feels so sweet compared to anything naturally aspirated from what I've felt. The power delivery just feels smoother to me.

Here are my daily drivers:

1998 Mustang GT: Best E.T: 9.896 @ 142.1
1996 Mystic Cobra: Best E.T: 12.20 @ 110
1993 Saleen speedster: Best E.T: Never Run it
1990 Mustang GT: Best E.T: 13.60 @ 99.1
1989 Mustang GT: Never Run it
1970 Cuda: Never run it, underated at 390HP, Cars prolly pushin about 500

Can I have one?
No, I'm serious :D

'86 Buick Grand National
'93 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

In the sig

I drive a hybrid Jetta, and I'm way too broke from it to own anything else :D I used to drive a '98 Golf, but it was the base model "CL" - needed something a little quicker than that.

I haven't run my car, it's somewhere in the 14 second range

I've got a 96 Cutlass Supreme, a 99 Bravada, and a 95 vette, see below..

I can't afford anything else, or I'd have more...

My cars:

Hi everyone. My everyday car is a Lexus ES 300. No mod at all. Loads of ICE. Very comfortable ride. Could fall asleep in traffic though!:D

My other car is a Skyline R33 GT-R. 381 whp with 44kg-m of torque at 1.12 bar boost. Has a HKS Super Drager/air filters/hiper damper with Eibach springs; Trust Profec B boost controller; JUN ECU;OS Giken twin plate clutch;NISMO 3 piece magnesium rims and Bridgestone S-02 25/35/18 tyres. Soon to have HKS forged pistons;camshaft;valve springs;adjustable pulleys and intercooler. Next stage would be to install a HKS GT turbo. :D

Love both of them :)

I drive a 1986 Porsche 951 (944 Turbo) it is still stock but I am going to mod it soon once I get more money. :)

One running, one with a blown engine. I've had the 944S since '91, Just picked up the Turbo last month...Who said Vettes & new 911's were fast? he he

1989 Lincoln Towncars, hey im 17, i cant afford any more(ok yes i can but i need money for colege). If I can get a deal, i might put compression up to 12:1(yes im crazy) and maybe a nice twin-screw super charger at 9 psi or so. That will give me about 538 horsepower(I love equations). But that is only if I can get a deal which I should be able to do. I love sleeper cars.

Currently, I drive a '91 Nissan NX2000. Nothing too special... 132,000 kms, intake and exhaust. But I still enjoy it.

I used to drive my parents' 1985 Honda Civic GL Hondamatic. Jeez I loved that car...

http://www.geocities.com/mike_from_canmore1/honda2.jpg

Man, we're getting everyone from carforums.

Nice to have you here, Mikanchovy.

I have a BMW 328i......... I'm from carforums too, i was lil' shady there, i'm so glad i got rid of that nick!

I am currently leasing a 2000 Grand Am GT with all the goodies. I used to drive a 1989 Firebird 305HO which was a sweet ride but I sold it to my father. I would like to get a new Trans Am WS6 in the near future.

*cough* SPOILED!!! *cough*

you too man

Ok, I drive a piece of shit 1990 Dodge Daytona 2.5l Automatic, it really doesn't get much shittier than that. But it get's me where i'm going....Oh wait no it doesn't the tire is about to explode and I can't drive it! Gotta love cheap ass American cars.

I've got a couple questions to ask some of you guys, like MrCorvetteZ06...Dude, that is one hell of a car...My god man. That's pretty amazing! Exactly how well does it handle, and how comfortable is it?

And Mr2Turb, how do you like your MR2 Turbo? I've been in the market for either a 1st gen SC or a 2nd gen Turbo. The Turbo is out of my price range for right now, but I hope to get one in the near future.

And you 951 guys, what about your car, are you happy with it?

One of my cars is a 1971 Dodge Challenger hardtop with the 318 2-bbl... nothing special, just a base model. When I got it, the car was a total basketcase, but I'm pretty far along now and have all the parts (including, yes, a 440 V-8) to turn it into an R/T clone. Also, I have a white 1995 Acura Integra GS-R coupe for a daily driver.

The Z06 handles great!! Personally, I think it is the best handling car I have ever driven. The only car close is either a Viper or Porsche 911. As for being comfortable...
Leather Seats(great ergonomics),power everything, AC/Heat, 6-disc CD changer with Bose Stereo(stock), cruise, etc. I love it!

Man that sucks, same thing happened to my saab. My friend is looking for a 75 or newer 240z, i dont assume yours is for sale, but maybe you know where to look and if you see any drop me a line.

Anyway, I drive a wonderful 1978 Caddy Coupe Deville. Midnight blue exterior, with a white leather interior. It just recently won its class in the winter car show, a local event.

1990 Nissan Stanza with factory body kit.

I think me and MikAnchovy are going to start our own forum for slow cars.

But just between you and me Mik, aren't Nissans the toughest pieces of metal this side of Japan?

What's your top speed anyway with the NX2000?
Mine's 136 mph.

Yep I love the 951. My 951 has only 71,450 miles on it. I am really happy with my car everything runs great and boy it is fast. Not a bad car at the age of 17 I guess. :) Are you looking to buy one?

I got a 90' GMC Suburban Starcraft Edition with 6 inch lift, 36TSL superswampers, Clarion head, 2 pioneer 12's, Memphis rear and front speakers. Its getting painted after a dumb girl ran a red light with a 2001 Bug and went under my car. Messed some panels from stress on them and stuff... Sanding is a pain in the ass... Ill post some pics when its out of the body and paint shop... My other forum of transportation is a 96' YZF600R... Ill race people for titles with that if you guys want... j/k

[Edited by unite@af on 03-09-2001 at 01:17 PM]

You should post some pics of the burb. This thing is HUGE!

I have 2 cars:

Subaru Impreza P1
Audi S6 (with manual gearbox)

Wow, where do you 17 year old guys get all your money?

I'm 16 and I drive a '91 Escort LX 5 speed. I've removed the airbox silencer for an 8 hp boost. I'm now runnin' a smokin' 96 hp. Goes even faster on a cold day. Had to replace the tranny, so I decided to take advantage of this and snatch up a GT (different geared) tranny. I've noticed a slight acceleration increase but a huge top speed increase. Crappy as it may be, it's my car and I love it.

PS. Can you guys tell me your money making secrets so I can get a Porsche too? :)

I get it from the stock market. :) Easy cash. Oh yea parents help a little.

I run a 2000 Ford Windstar. 2" Lower, Tinted, Neon Glow - In Door Jams and under vehicle itself, 4 12" Subs, and the 4 stock speakers. low profile rim and tires.

I usually hate minivans, but I get a real kick out of modified ones. Do you have any pics?

Hey there EMV! Auto's are nothing to brag about! real drivers like standards better!

Hello AF ppl....

I own a '90 RX-7 Turbo II. Any nice suggestion for mod?

i am too young to drive :( 2 more years :)

There's a nice 2nd gen RX7 turbo kicking around where I live with a sweet sounding custom exhaust...nice wheels too.

i drive a 1993 infiniti g20. its a crappy auto. i hope someone hits me so i can collect the insurance money and buy one with a 5 speed. other than the fact it has a damn auto its a pretty sweet car. not really fast but handles really nice. ive yet to lose to any ricer. haha they suck

Added some new wheels over the past weekend:)
