Sports car people

[BirdFish5000]

Anyone else into sports cars, let's talk here. I have:

1999 Corvette, full exhaust/intake manifold/medium sized cam/air intake, 400 rwhp
2005 Lotus Elise with a supercharger; 220 rwhp
1981 DeLorean (yes, lol) with a built LS4; unknown rwhp but estimate ~375

I really dig 911s too; just out of my price range nowadays.

Do a search. There are a couple of big car discussions in The Lounge.

I personally don't care for the look of sports cars. Though, My cousin restores corvette's and I've seen a couple of mid 60's convertibles he's restored that I wouldn't mind having as a weekend car. I guess my dream car is considered a sports car which is an Alpina Z8.

If I want to just "browse" I go over to the Cowboys headquarters. There a ton of exotic sports cars parked there.

Lets see some pics! Haven't had a good car thread in a while lol. I agree on the 911...amazing car but way too expensive right now. Here are some pics of my past and current rides......

I've been starting to run out of options - as manual transmissions are getting harder and harder to find.

M4 is stage 2 tuned, runs 11 flat with a 6MT. I'm hoping with the wider rears, I can hit a high 10 sec, but will wait for a cool day to do another run.

S4 is also stage 2 tuned with upper and lower pulleys. Runs 11.8 with a 6MT.

Abarth 124 has a mild tune and really just fun for weekend driving. Technically the wife's fun car...but currently in the market to upgrade to a Boxter.

Oh noes...

It's my thread...

Let's see...

Fun car highlights if I can remember:
96 Cobra, 01 Cobra, 03 Cobra, 04 Cobra, 05.5 & 11 S4, 08 M6, 15 Hellcat Challenger, 18 Hellcat Charger, 13 GT500, 16 GT350, 12 CTS-V

Really got into Landcruisers as well, had a 100 Series and 200 Series at the same time, now just the 200. Love the new F-Sport 300 series LX, but want to see how they work out. Have over 200k on our 200 Series.

Not my car. But my father has a 1969 Z71 Camaro. I'll have to get pictures of it whenever he gets it fixed back up and whenever I go visit them haha

Very nice; my neighbor purchased a 69 Camaro over the summer as well

Wow, your rides are impressive! The 911 might be a dream for many of us, but your collection is top-notch. Love the variety in your past and current cars. Each one tells a unique story.

Thanks Never thought of it that way but you are correct.....each does tell a different story (and point in my life) lol.

Holy smokes; more pictures please!!!

 

[Reefer911]

Thanks I appreciate it! It’s a slant nose but honestly I wish I had the original version

Stunning machine!

I've been debating selling my 1999 Corvette to go towards buying a 997.2. I'm a through and through Corvette guy, but I'd love to have a 911 at least once.
