Sooo, what do you all drive in the real world, in your daily trudge to and from work or school, or if your like me, both. What car do you use for that weekend cruise. So, what do you all drive.

I'll start off with my car:
'99 Ford Taurus SE w/
24v DOHC Duratec 3.0L V6 (Restricted to 185hp to please CARB)
Fully loaded minus leather and moonroof
4 speed AX4N Automatic Transaxle

Stock Time:
16.3@80mph according to the car mags(I subscribe to 5 of them)

Modifcations:
K&N Filtercharger in stock Airbox, Restrictor Cone and Silencer removed
Diablochips chip
SHO Shop Under-Drive Pulley Setup
Eibach Pro-Kit 1.5in Lowering Springs
KYB GR2 Gas Shocks
18x8in American Racing Vortec's
Falken 235/40ZR18 GR-B Ultra High Performance Radials

Track times after modifications:
15.489 @ 89.81mph w/ stock 15's
16.068 @ 86.20mph w/ ARE 18's

I need to get a set of lighter rims. :rolleyes:

Venom :cool:
P.S. Aspiring to find myself a dirtcheap 180SX or AE86. :D
 
FOR SALE :P hehe

'98 Honda Prelude base model 5-speed
2.2 liter DOHC, VTEC, PGM-FI, 16 valves
Stock engine stats:
200hp@7000rpm
156lbft@5250(more than a stock S2000)
10.0:1 compression ratio(premium only :( )

Car and Driver pulled out a 15.5 1/4 mile with a 0-60 of 6.5

personal modifications: :D
short ram intake w/ k&n cone filter
unorthodox underdrive crankshaft pulley
OBX twin bazooka exhaust
DC sports short throw adapter
H&R Sport Springs
strut tower braces
yokohama A520 215/45/ZR16W

i've never taken it to a drag strip..(straight line=lose) but i did compete at autocross. my clocked 0-60 is a 6.39, and the only cars i ever lost to on the track are: BMW M3, Audi A4, Altima 3.5SE(awesome driver), and of course S2000's :(

the car has been returned to stock form since it's for sale. lemme know if you wanna buy it!
 
Well, since I can't drive yet, I'll tell you what I ride around in.

Mom's car: 1987 Escort hatchback. Bone stock, except for the silicone that is holding up the rear view mirror.

Dad's truck: 1998 Mazda B2500. Bone stock.

My car (that I cannot drive yet): 1992 Pontiac Sunbird with shot rear breaks and bleading front break lines. Oh yea, did i mention that there is mold/mildew all over the interior because the car is a freaking lemon?
 
and here she is ;)

2950lbs and over 200hp trying to go around a turn=MASSIVE understeer. plus the damn thing sits on its ass when i launch it from around 6,000rpm and the weight comes off the front tires...(spin spin spin). the money is either going to a 300zx, FC, or 240sx with SR20DET swap.

An S13 of the latter get's my vote for a balance of handling, torque and hp, afteramrket support, and reliability. :D
 
FWD doesn't provice entertainment?....FWD kicks ass offroading, what are you talkin about...Anyway..It's because it's a prelude, it's a azz heavy FWD car, what can ya expect..
---Cars I own---
1998 BMW E36 M3
Dinan Drop in filter
Dinan free flow exhaust

1991 Mazda Rx-7 Turbo II
13B-REW equipped(stock motor at this time)

1993 Honda Civic VX
b16A SiRII(170HP Stock)
Y2 Transmission with Spoon 1.5 way torsen LSD
Spoon V-tec Controller
Skunk 2 Valvetrain w/ bronze retainers
ITR cam's both intake & exhaust
milled throttle body, ported intake and exhaust manifold
stock pistons..stock injectors
Hondata stage 4b
2.75 inch headerback exhaust
 
got any pics shinez? cause without proof, that's a hard list to back up. especially when you use a "-" in your spelling of VTEC :lol:
 
1971 Datsun 510, no engine yet. Going for either a SR20DET or the VG30. Right now it's completely stripped down. Bought new fiber glass panels for each door, head light and tail light section, boxed finders, front and rear bumpers. Just bought new MOMO seats, having custom brackets made so I can fit into the car better(I'm 6'4). Had a roll cage put in about a week ago, it will be painted along with the rest of my car when it's ready. I will keep the car with no luxuries, stereo, speakers, heater, no carpet, headliner or sound insulation(sp). The inside will just be painted metal. I'm going for the lightest car I can get (shooting for about 1,900lb dry wieght). It has a looooooong way to go before it's the way I want it, but when it gets there, it should be great. :D
 
Heres my ride a 93 Evo 1 its pretty stock except Stainless exhaust
& lowered on 17's oh yeah its got nice greddy boost gauge inside thats got a calming green backlight glow at night time.

The 1991 is going soon for a 1993 Turbo. :)
 
Xenotek..isn't the 4aGZE the Supercharged one??..I'm not great with info on the MK1 MR-2's

And why don't you just put a 3sgte into the 91 Mr2?..It COULD be cheaper
 
actually i think he wants the 93 because it has some kinda steering thing. it has this traction thing that makes it a great road car and an even better car to make laps on tracks. im not sure if thats the reason but it might be. oh yea btw idk i might be confusing the 92 with the 93... if so my bad!

Sweet! :D Sounds way cool. I like the older Falcon's, especially the mid 60's ones from back when they sold them in America too. ;)
