What kind of car do you drive? You can't go posting a statement like that with out posting a photo? :cheer:


716 RWHP supercharged Corvette, grocery getter!





Filming with Jay Leno

Spike TV last year, this aired on a 2 day Christmas special



Evil tires

Evil tires being taught lesson


NICE!

I saw a show the other day where Jay Leno drove a Porche around Talladega at 170MPH. That guy can actually drive.

You got a link so we can see you on TV? :woohoo:


Thanks bro! Yeah, Leno is way cool, not to mention very humble

Here is promo video that was done last year BEFORE larger motor and supercharger was placed in car:


Here is quick video I made just a few weeks ago, this is after new motor and larger supercharger installed :woohoo: :evil:


And here is the Leno video, this was filmed and aired nearly 2 years ago:http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/smokin-vettes/1091203/

If you watch the Fast and Furious 4 movie you will see my car in there also! For a whooping 2 seconds! LMAO!!!


Nothin beats the sound of a fat cam and headers! Oxygen sensors? NAHHH!!!!!

Yeah nothing beats a nice sounding cam, but what a PITA it was to tune the car with the built motor, the cam and supercharger!

So what kind of blower do you have on it? I have a buddy who races his C-6 Vette on road courses. I raced my 'Stang on the 1/4 mile till I broke the engine( now looking to get it fixed ), always nice to hear from another motorhead.

Yea i'll bet!
I know a thing or 2 about vehicles ( A little rusty though). I was ACE certified in all areas non-diesel. Worked at a Chrysler Jeep dealership for a # of years. Electrical and drivability were my strong areas. What i'm really good at though is metal work and paint (but didnt want to do it in a production shop because of the heath hazards). Metal work and paint is an art like photography. It's been a # of years though since i've worked in-depth on anything. Got out of it because the business side of it made it no longer enjoyable and not to mention the down turn in the economy here in Michigan. Michigan is pretty bad.

If you look back a few posts through this thread, you'll see my past and future projects.

Awww that sucks! If it makes you feel better... after only have the car back for less than a month, my built transmission crapped on me! So the transmission was taken out on Thursday and right now is in route to Ohio for repair!

I have a Magnuson 2300 supercharger, I did have their 112 which is a small supercharger, but I liked the sound of that one when it got into boost better than the current one. What 1/4 mile times are you getting with your Stang? You running slicks?

14s on street tires at 100mph through 4th gear. I have a 3.55 rear end in it and a little computer work because it was my daily driver till I got my Jeep

Nice! Mustangs are fun cars to tool around with. So many mod's you add to them! I was just looking at the new Jeep's last week. Need to get something more rugged for hauling my photography stuff around.

Yes we actually do Rob. We bought an 07 Liberty about a year ago. We took to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan over the summer and bounced around some of the old sandpit filled 2track roads in the woods that run near and along Lake Superior. That was fun. It needs new tires pretty soon so i'm going to put Firestone Mud Terrains on it. Stock size though. I'd also like to add just an inch to the suspension. They look pretty sweet w/just a slight lift. It's Inferno Red like your grand. (atleast yours looks like the Inferno Red).

I had for a while a black 81 full size Blazer w/a 3"lift and some fatty fat fat BFG mud-terrains on white wagon wheels. It looked burly! Needed a trans when it was given to me (by one of my old shop teachers) and it sat behind my garage for years and years. I just had to many projects going on at once and just couldnt deal w/it in any kind of time. I had a friend who kept asking about it so i gave it to him. I know he would get some use out of it real quick. That was about a month ago. He already has a trans in it and is ready to take me out and let me do some crawling.
