I saw a video the other day with one of those cars badhoopty posted doing the 1/4 in good time. I think it was electric, too. I wish I remember more details, but it was impressive!

This is my baby, it will do the 1/4

what if there was a corner at the end of the 1/4...

i'm considering a 04 cobra myself. pretty much the same type of car as the gn being its something the factory put out thats worth putting time into. i've been a gm guy for all my life, but i'm tired of a junk car wrapped around a great engine that also coulda been built better. i would still consider a c5 z06 if i manage to find one for a decent price.

the new challenger looks sweet as well. i just dunno if i'll want to throw down 50k on one... same with the gt500.

the old timers can say what they want, but the golden age for musclecars is right freaking now.

On GRAVEL!

I used to be into MkII Cortinas (had a few 1600 GT's), and have a friend that used up a few MkI Lotus Cortinas. Terrific fun!

Another aquaintance (here in Ohio, of all places) runs the LeJog. Last year in a MkII Escort RS2000 (first in class!), previously in a MkI Cortina GT, and next year he'll be in a DATSUN 510 (Bluebird) which he's currently converting to RHD.

Neat stuff!

i dig the old muscle-y little datsuns... there was a local one for sale awhile back on ebay that i would have loved to have.

210 and 510 right?

Actually the 1200 (B110) and 510 are the ones to hotrod. I guess since all the 1200's are used up people are doing the 210's now.

exactly. Its as docile as a stocker until I make boost..

Cars are cool, but if you really want to go fast, You need to break free of the cage. Mine is on the right:

Uh hate to break it to you but those tricycles are only as fast as you can peddle them

Hey, at 300 pounds, I put a slight strain on the 12R. If I was to straddle that trike, I would snap it in two.
