Name 10 of the REALLY heavy but high potential street racing machines

Heres all that I could think as of this moment.
- 3000GT
- WRX
- Evo
- Supra
- Hummer H2 :iceslolan
- Miata...:lol: (not being serious here)

I can't really think of any other....except the Skyline. I just have an urge to know....can anyone help here?

1969 cadillac deville!

Really heavy but good potential, Gen 1 Lightning. lol. Merc Marauder. V8 rwd, just needs a little help.

anything has potential. some just more than other. you asked for heavy cars and the only domestic on there is the hummer? and domestics have A LOT of potential.

Most muscle cars and V8 machines.

MKIV is the first that comes to mind.

03/04 mustang cobra. Lightnings. Supras. VR4s. Most all vintage muscle cars. I can't think of anymore....

i know my 240 can hang with just about all those, ... and probably pass them right up :)

Yeah, I'd say so. But 240s aren't heavy...or so I thought?

A 7000+lb Dodge extended cab cummins powered truck went 12.34 on me last Saturday at the track. THe truck made 734hp and around 1400ft/lbs torque!!!!!! BTW, that was off of the nitrous. I saw it unhooked behind his seat. That's ok, I have something for his A$$, just a matter of getting it hooked up.
Any of these new trucks can be made to go extremely fast. I have several buddies with trucks like mine running 11s and 12s consistently.
Don't count out these new 6.0L GTOs. We had an older one with the ls1 go 10s. :biggrin:

My car is heavy. :banghead:

Yes.. Ws-6's and SS camaro's are fairly heavy. Also, old muscle cars usualy aren't as heavy as people think, but they are heavy by today's standards and can be made to go fast.

Ram SRT10?

sorry...I don't know many domestic cars...

^exactly what I was gonna say, I no that viper engine's good for somthin

that cummins dodge probably had propane (not nitrous) Thats basically Nitrous for diesels.

How about the Thunderbird? Heavy, (Its classified as a "personal luxury coupe"), has the 96-98 Mustang GT Engine, IRS... The 94 NPI 4.6 doesnt have a big aftermarket tho..I'd know..lol

Or the Lincoln Mark VII...Has the 87-93 Mustang GT engine, 225 HP. Basically anything that would work on the 5.0 Mustang motor, works on this...its the rich mans Mustang..

Even the Lincoln Mark VIII. Has the DOHC 4.6L (yes...the Cobra motor, with softer internals) Its good for 280 HP in LSC trim, and 265 (?) in non LSC form. Comes with factory air ride suspension too. Decent aftermarket.

Damn diesels... All that torque gets them hella-good ETs. What did he trap at?

Jay Leno's 9000+pound tankmobile

I'd definantley put a diesel at the top of the list namely the Duramax since Ive seen first hand what they could do. When my brother ran his his with I,E,ECU trapped around 90ish, and he ran a 14.2. Top six off the top of my head.

Duramax Diesel
Cummins Turbo Diesel
Powerstroke Diesel
Any merecedes AMG (the 4000lb+ ones)
Supras
VR4's

91-96 impala/caprice.....

You can get nitrous for diesels too, I was checking out bully dog on stuff for my dads truck and they have nitrous kits that work on diesels, they also have propane. http://www.bullydog.com/products.pl?item=Ford_Nitrous_Injection-F-E-

Not to be a prick or anything, but how do you figure an H2 fits into the same list with 4 of the Japanese heavy hitters? H2 might be REALLY heavy, but there is no way in hell I would even joke about it being a 'high potential street racing machine'.

On top of that, regarding the imports on your list...you have the
wrx at ~ 3,000lbs
vr4 at ~ 3,800lbs
evo 8 ~ 3,300lbs

So if you are considering 3,000 'heavy' it prevents pretty much anything with more than a 4 cylinder engine from being 'light'. Like I said, I'm not trying to be a prick, but you really really are asking quite a broad question. Was there something more specific you were wondering/interested in?

He's running both propane and nitrous. The propane tank was mounted underneath the truck and the nitrous bottle was behind the seat. I knew he was going to be rolling due to the turbo upgrade,full fuel system upgrade, propane, nitrous, tuning, traction bars, fully built tranny and those big ass exhaust stacks stuck out of the bed. :lol: Hell, he's got so much more money tied up in that thing that my truck has.
I can't wait to be there the day that motor finally gives up on him though. They can only take SO much, and it will give up on him.

Damn diesels... All that torque gets them hella-good ETs. What did he trap at?

His trap was pretty damn good, all things considering. It was somewhere in the 109-111mph range.

At what weight would a car be considered heavy? I think we need to narrow this down more.

'04-05 Pontiac GTO comming in at 3725lbs.. :(

I'd say around 3700+

98-04 Lexus GS300. 2jzgte swap and you're pretty much set.

Any turbo Buick


Also any 1969-1973 Buick GS 455 Stage 1

I personally consider 3500lbs to be the cutoff. In that case...
1>'90+300zxTT automatic
2>Pontiac Catalina
3>Lexus SC300
4>'95 Lincoln Mark VIII Lsc
5>Chevrolet Impalla SS
6>''98 Grand Cherokee 5.9
7>BMW 7 series
8>'98 Cadilac STS
9>Volvo 850 turbo wagon(friggin awesome)
10>Chevrolet S-10

It was easy to think of heavy cars that haul but the tough part is making them creative and affordable. The only reason the 300zx made the list is because I plan to buy one, but I hadn't seen it mentioned yet.

I wasn't serious with the Hummer H2. But yeah, I just wanted to see everybody's opinion, that's all. Its nothing specific, but I was just curious.

Volvo S60R
Audi RS6

Ferrari 456M 3726lbs
Ferrari 575M 3815lbs

Lamborghini Mucielago 3618lbs
Lamborghini Gallardo 3560lbs

Maserati Cambiocorsa Coupe 3700lbs
Maserati GT Coupe 3678lbs

Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG 4080lbs
Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG 3635lbs
Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG 4300lbs

All so heavy, all so fast.
