  1. Das Called Fkin NASCAR bro. Take it straight to Talladega
  2. XJR is a great "adult" cruiser IMO. V8, Blower, rides on a cloud. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Jaguar_xjr_100.jpg/800px-Jaguar_xjr_100.jpg
  3. Prefer Gen 3 for the 30k mark. For what I would do, rebuilt 25k Gen 3 > 35k high Miles Gen 2 with a clean title.
  4. High miles in general is hard to find. I'd buy one with 100k without hesitation, if I could find one with 100k!!! DD? No I have an AWD for winter, but I'd drive the fucker int he snow just to be a dick
  5. Thanks- And will do-was just easier to PM while at work. I'll find somewhere to put a zip tie on-would not feel right without it. I'd fly down- I don't to the "buy online, ship it, hope for the best". I would go down there with a duffle bag, and if I like it stroke the check and take it home. I just don't trust the net/random people. Way too many scams out there.
  6. I love the Mod edits to Wigg's initial posts His wife has to be getting poked by someone else, or she is a total nut job. No in between there.
  7. Doubt heavier than 2700-2750 wet since this is an AL block. My Gold car was 2620 Wet with a tool box. 4g is maybe a hair lighter, but the T56 is heavier, add another turbo...I'd love to see it under 2700 as is though! It will go on the scale when I get it to back street (as long as its not snowing)
  8. They may be lol. Stopped working for no reason-assumed to be a fuse or relay. The are likely getting gutted anyways in favor of intakes, so I did not case down the issue And thanks
  9. Well she officially has her sea legs. Put another 100 or so mile son it the last nice week we had up here-clutch is a pain in the ass but everything works well now. Hood is on with the new IC set up. I picked up injectors and a 4 bar map for dirt. Working on mult-used 255 set up this weekend if time permits. Then, off to the dyno for some boosted baseline runs. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20141130_184438326.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20141130_184755986.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20141202_215803.jpg http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/IMG_20141130_185809913_HDR.jpg
  10. At the same time no less! :dumb: Throw in some butts and you have the ultimate errythang video. You will break the internet. Where is that BTW? Not the same Tunar I see.....
  11. Well, guy would take 25k, but after seeing this http://www.carsforsale.com/used-cars-for-sale/2004-dodge-viper-chicago-il-248124617 With a supposed clean title, I am going to wait it out before I pull the trigger on anything. Market is all over the place.
  12. That think cant even make it to 100k without burning oil like a savage-let alone be good for anything else LOL
  13. Assuming it made 603 on the bottle?
  14. For the common man, thats the list right there.
  15. Funkin' LOL Local area is saturated with Cheaper Gyms. For $10 a month ($50 up front, month to month) you can gave 24 access, shower, pool, and toss weight around like king kong. My office pays for a great rec center, and has a gym on site. Did you look at/do you have a local rec center?
  16. That's my M.O. I have thankfully I have never lost on a car no matter how long I have owned it. The only one I will lose on $$ wise my wife's new Rav 4 (fuckin Women) I agree 100%-I go by body style date range, not year/blue book for value. As for the price-you saw the winning bid...and the seller had a "soft" reserve. At the end of the day, I may just put in an open order at Jet Auto for a cheap something-or-other any wait for your call.
  17. Can you nerds read? LOL Here is what I am looking at- 1) I don't need or want a car loan-so if I can get car A in the same condition as car B for 20k less, I'm buying car A all day. 2) As Brandon and E_92 stated, anyone with their nose in the viper market knows Gen 1 and 2 Vipers get salvaged very easily and there are a lot of buyers in the 20-30k cash range, so many that its hard to get a good deal because they sell so quickly. I looked a car that literally had a crack, one freaking crack, in the clam shell because the guy bumped a concrete parking pillar. He had pics, and all the info from insurance. It sold the next day before I could make an offer. If I can buy an exotic of any kind- Viper, Lambo, whatever-drive it for a year or 2 and sell it for what I paid, I'm winning. It just so happens that Vipers are the most lucrative to buy cheap since they are the most often totaled for minor accidents.
  18. What is the pain threshold for a higher end or exotic car that is rebuild? 30% or retail? 40% 50%???? Obviously, as an investment, not the best move. But lest say the car is old enough that that it would be difficult to car loan anyways, so your market is primarily cash buyers. Rebuilt does not hinder your sale of the car down the line (in theory) and I assume you could just get ahead of depreciation, and come out ahead or even when you resell. Use this as an example- 04 Viper. Average Retail used now is 45k. You can probably taker this home for 28-30k, around 35% off retail. And, its only got 8k miles. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201226767193?forcerRptr=true&item=201226767193&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:WNA:US:3160 Do you make that move?
  19. Is it me or is $1200 for that not a killer deal? I remember all of the GOOD deals being on line last year?
  20. Its all in the gearing and faster than auto shifting. You put any motor in front of that trans and its going to fly.
  21. Why does your boy have a ball sack vent in his jeans? Tell him to use some of that scratch to buy some pants.
  22. That blue car seemed to have a miss most of its runs And considering the AMS car put several bus lengths on it, I doubt it made 2k anything WHP. Cool to see f;in 76's on them though!
