V8 Beast Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 To test out the idea I sent Nate from pinks and email. I got a canned message but this is basically what it said... send some pics of the car you want to build and the team Nate Pritchett Casting Director, PINKS (240) 235-3166 (o) http://www.speedtv.com/pinks If any of the shops have an expendable car this would be great for business. Just thought I would bring it back up since they are casting for season 5 as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 If someone gives me a lot of money, we can use my car. Apart from that, I'm in to at least help with the build. Give Jeff, Mike, or Brandon a call and see what they think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I will help with it if it ever get off the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I will bring beer. It would be cool to see a few shops work together. But I know that would never happen. I think a 10 sec colt is in line for this . The only thing that sucks about that show is it's not heads up. If you get the first race you can Sandbag like a mother fucker.

I figured that was the biggest problem. Most of the you guys get insanely busy during the summer... Mostly because people like me keep breaking their cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 If we could just find some place to do it, then all of us could throw in some time into getting something together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have a Cobra I would gladly donate as long as there was a collection to buy another one if it was lost . I would also be ok with a shop doing a custom turbo/spray setup on it, I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s13 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 How about the buick 455 in a chevette + Spray. Or we have a motor, tranny, and a body laying around for an awd Talon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 (stock the buick 455s sit around 500 horse) a stock 455 with all the good parts was rated at 375hp and 510ftlbs you'll have 10-12k in a motor thats competive and only blows up once in while........ a stock 500 cube caddy motor in a chevette went 10's in a car craft article a few years ago seriously though this mustang just needs gone through and gutted out to be ready to go and If I lose the car I won't even care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have one of the shops work on it to get there names out there nationally. If Norwalk would agree to be the location, that would be perfect!

Scotty2Hotty Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Do something different. Chevette :thumbup: Lightweight, convert to RWD, tub, cage etc... If anyone were to under take it, the power to weight ratio would be key if it were me. Less weight means less $$$ to make usable power.

turbomark Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 that's like a newer crappier version of a v8 gremlin. Do chevettes even exist anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 that's like a newer crappier version of a v8 gremlin. Do chevettes even exist anymore? Only in bone yards Keep it light and RWD, I think that's a good starting point. Do something different too, mustangs, camaros, vettes, novas etc.. All over played. Be different.
