Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
I've sold off a couple somewhat recently, but still have a few 1:1
My '78 Dodge Aspen Coupe, bought with 318/A904/7.25" axle, now rockin a 440, 727 trans and Dana 44 3.73 Posi rear end

'87 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z

'69 Charger, one day I'll get around to putting a drivetrain in it

My camping/hunting rig, an '83 Ramcharger dragging around a lifted '87 Coleman pop-up that has rough trails written all over it.

Any my big boy, also my namesake on bulletin boards, a 1966 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2 "Deuce and a half". Yes it is multifuel turbo, but no, not a whistler.

Couple of bikes, too, but no good photos of them. And my shop truck, just a plain white 1990 Jeep Comanche 4x2.

Love threads like these! Neat to see the love and passion for cars most of us share 
My 1991 Miata, which I race in the SCCA Majors Tour. It's a spec class, meaning all cars run on the same tires, suspension, and have very restricted modifications.

My daily driver is an old Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickup, love that truck, but don't have any good shots of it.

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
HI!... This is my daily driver. 2007 Ford Ranger 4.0L. Modded a bit. About 300H.P/300FT/LBS. Best time has been 13.6E.T at 101mph. Going to build a GT35R turbo set-up for it this summer. Looking for low 12's on 8Psi. Also have a Pro street "83" Ford Ranger with a 408C.I (stoked 351-W), and a Pro Street "99" F-150, reg-cab, SB, SS with a built 5.4L getting a T-88 turbo set-up. Looking to hit 900RWH.P with that one.

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
HI!... We have 10% eth, in our gas here in Canada. You can still run a tune. Been doing it for over 10 years. Talk to Mike Troyer at Troyer Performance. Tell him Neal "The H.P Freak" sent you to him. One of the best Ford tuners on the planet. He's been tuning my vehicles for years.fordtransman wrote:2012 Fusion Sport FWD. My Fleet dept custom ordered it (for me) as a stock unit at my dealership without a Sunroof about 2 weeks before the final order date before they stopped 2012 production. We let it sit on the lot over a month (in the back) so I could get all the rebates and 1.9%. Sports didn't come with a cosmetic engine cover, so I bought one MKZ spec. One of the last 263hp 3.5 iVCT engines built. The end of the Aisin AF21 transaxle in the Fusion. Multiple Steeda chassis and intake mods. We cant get 93 octane or any decent gas here in CA (10% eth) otherwise I would drop in the SCT tune.

It sure as heck is. I have a 6200# Ford F-250 2WD 7.3 Turbo Diesel at 636 rwhp/1050 ft lbs tq (modified), and it's really hard to stay on boost in the highest ECM program under 60 mph and not get wheel-spin.flipwils11 wrote:Jeezus that's some crazy power in a light truck.
