  1. Lets take this full circle- Here is the original post.

     

     

    Fuck I'm getting bored with DDing a stock car...since I sold the Colt and the Evo, my craving for a fun car has been at an all time high. Here are my requirements:

     

    • I would prefer a 4 cyl turbo car
    • If it's a V8, I'd prefer it be an LS engine
    • MUST be a manual- no exceptions
    • Prefer white, black or red (this is the least worrysome thing on my list)
    • I don't want a piece of shit project car...I know how to work on stuff but I don't have a garage anymore so it makes it tough. I realize having a fun car requires work, and I'm fine with that, but I'm not trying to be fixing shit on day 1.
    • All in under 10k. If I HAD to go to 12k, I can, but prefer under 10k.

     

     

     

    NO mention of a truck.

     

    Truck may have been mentioned later, but I hope the OP re-reads this, and realized a truck is not going to fulfill the need!

    Not all 2 door not all sticks either but all would fit the bill and prove my post

     

    Some of those are not even turbo cars :dumb:

     

    No turbo, no bueno

  3. I'm glad to see the new owners taking an interest in making the track a top notch racing facility. Maybe we'll see a national NHRA event return to the track.

     

    Realtalk- does anyone buy anything and tell their consumers "Im just hoping to make a little money in the mean time, let the place run itself into the ground, and sell it for solid overall profit?" :dumb:

     

    Everyone walks into small business ownership with the best of intentions!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    **I honestly know nothing of the situation at NTR**

  4.  

    Ignore the miserable trolls. They'll bash anyone and anything.

     

    This 100%. :lol: I miss my truck. So useful. And it was beat.

    Yenner- I love ya, but you see the one thing you didn't mentioned? FUN. I dont know how this got so off topic- trucks are great. That have their place. I own an F 350. Yee haw. But let's remind everyone of the topic of this thread....

     

     

     

    Wanted: Fun Car

     

    A truck is neither fun, nor a car. LOL

  5. Guess i am a mouth breather

     

    Not everyone is a 5'3" manlet beta that can stuff themselves into an econobox.

     

     

    Dafuq are you talking about? C5zs C6s, and 996s where at the peak of this discussion. Tall folk have no problems fitting into those cars, and the OP is not a giant, so I am not sure what planet you're on right now, especially bringing up an Mr2 as a solution which would fit a "big" guy that WORST out of what we is, or at least was considering.

  6. I am finding 09's easily for around 25k but they all have close to 100k miles.

     

    Who cares about 100k.

     

    Its a cave man truck motor with a blower and a super beefy trans. Fucker will run forever. Shit people are BUYING them with 200k plus, stuffing 30psi into them and setting records! :lolguy:

     

     

    As for the change in heart for a truck- seriously DONT do it. Unless you NEED the hauling capabilities of a truck, you will find it lacking in very, very short order. Turbos, tunes or not. Its still a fuckign truck.

     

    Re-read your OP, reassess, and buy something slightly ignorant. #yolo

  7. Torque steer on dyno moving it around on the roller? Yikes that would make me a tad nervous!

     

    Torque steer is horrid in these cars. Its simply boor engineering. Racing FWD cars all my life, I have seen just a change in wheel offset induce, or remove torque steer. if they spent more than 5 seconds on the design of the suspension and front end, I am sure they could have sorted this out.

  8. Coming from the guy that has owned or driven just about everything fun in your price range..

     

    If you want to look like an adult and go fast-

     

    Under 10k 335 or 535.

     

    If you dont need 4 doors c5z or c6

     

    Best of all worlds and under 25k- 09 CTS-V. 11+ is 100% not worth the premium.

  9. It's the Suburbs bro.

     

    0 of the top 10 Wealthiest Suburbs (Median and per capita ) are near Dayton. In fact, most are up here.

     

    1 Hunting Valley Cuyahoga and Geauga counties $144,281$200,000+ (If you want to mind-blown at houses-google earth this place LOL)

    2 The Village of Indian Hill Hamilton County $96,872 $158,742

    3 Kirtland Hills Lake County $78,896 $112,421 597 223

    4 Springboro Warren County $78,786 $116,012 17,643 5,806

    5 Gates Mills Cuyahoga County $74,732 $133,605 2,493 925

    6 Wetherington Butler County $73,684 $161,448 1,010 363

    7 Bratenahl Cuyahoga County $72,757 $76,028 1,337 711

    8 Bentleyville Cuyahoga County $73,392 $160,902 947 297

    9 Moreland Hills Cuyahoga County $72,001 $113,977 3,298 1,286

    10 Pepper Pike Cuyahoga County $71,255 $133,316 6,040 2,203

     

     

    Being near the base makes sense though- as enlisted folk who have free housing and food seem to spend literally every dime they earn on toys. LOL

  10. I have a keurig.......

     

    J/k but this does suck, I'm sure that location just didn't bring enough weekday commuter/foot traffic like something downtown etc..

    On another note, I don't think many people attend for the coffee. Perhaps a name change is in order. Buggies n Beer? Wips n sips maybe? 😎

    When I was in Cbus for work/weekend getaway I stopped by and saw a lot fo OG Cr folk. I can attest the line for coffee was out the door, and down the walk.

     

     

     

    Sucks as I think this will inevitably kill this location at the least. It was the Best CnC I have been to Sans Dallas and LA's Exoctic varient

  11. DOT certainly wouldn't approve them for road use if they were unsafe.

     

    You've obviously never driven on a Drag Radial in the rain. DOT approval is not the end all be all of safety.

    That being said- to the OP quit being a pazi, low ball this guy and buy the wheels!

  12. And with the mods doesn't make near 441whp

     

    Thats what I said! LOL. But, some googling revealed that most FBO cars at 19-20psi make mid 4's on an E mix or 100 octane

     

    I had to do some googling evidently the highest HP FBO stock turbo car made 481. :no:

  13. Leasing?

     

    LOL

     

     

    In my opinion the only time leasing makes sense is if you have employment that pays for it or you can use it towards a legitimate write off. Otherwise, its renting. You do it for as long as you do it, and in the end you come out with not a fucking thing to show for it.

  14. For $18k, you get a built motor, RPM built trans, Moser 12 bolt, full BMR suspension with K-member, A-arms and coilovers, CCWs and over 720 rwhp.

     

    The car has always been reliable and I would drive it anywhere.

     

    720 NA?!
