This is how we roll...

I've wanted a Nissan 300ZX for along time - 5 speed 3.0L V6 Twin Turbo (anyone see the Top Gear video where the 300XZ p1ssed all over the 350Z - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHGpMA_vOFM once the twin turbos kicked in the 350 didnt stand a chance)

Difficult to come by in South Africa - I would probably have to import as any decent ones here cost and the rest have had their tats thrashed out of them

Love the G, PMAC.  Years ago I started an aftermarket auto parts company.  The first project was a G35 spoiler.  The company never went anywhere, but the car was great.

creative666, have you considered test driving anything from Hi Tech Automotive in Port Elizabeth?

[pmac]

Oh yeah Trav, I remember that. That spoiler was sick.

I've come across Hi Tech Automotive before but forgot about them completely and will make the pilgrimage when the time comes

I liked the turbo z too.

Aren't they making the latest crazy car, or is that Mitsubishi?  It's not exactly cheap but supposedly it is totally outrageous, 0 to 60 in negative seconds, etc.

I used to be good friends with the guy (Ross) who owns Dragon Performance;

I remember he used to do some crazy stuff with Mazda RX7's boosting them up to crazy BHP levels (600+)

I had an email recently from him telling me about his new project car;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS6XmblVbOc he destroys this Mitsubishi Evo. Its meant to push 1000BHP and highly tuned - if he farts it'll blow the engine!

That thing must suck in some serious air!!

>Aren't they making the latest crazy car
Nissan GTR?  Quick from the showroom, but tuners are unlocking massive potential.  ~800awhp!


Another "someday" item...  Twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo.  0-250mph within a mile.

That's it...I don't even have my head to the wire and I'm hearing it is a monster awd supercar...

I might not be much for tarts, but i love donuts:)

What a Wankel

*grin* I doubt many people understood that joke...HA!

My ex-husband worked on RX-7's.  Amazing little engines, but they break down after 120K miles...

[mivox]

"...and then I hit this f###ing THING" ...ahahahah as if that thing had no business being in the middle of the woods

Right? I mean seriously. I remember there were all these TREES in my way, along the side of the trail, as though they *belonged* there or something. Sheesh.

On the upside, my sled now has cool Frankenstein seams all over the hood where I epoxied it back together. 

ehheheeh yup, been there, done that, broke one rib:)

I bought a Tek Vest after my little tree incident. Hopefully that means I won't break any more. hehe

Its 151 hp and it only weighs 425lbs. Needless to say, it's a rocket. SCARY fast.

You got me beat there, crazy man... my trail sled is only 140hp/498lbs. & the mountain sled is 142hp/500lbs. They're both plenty fast enough to kill me though, so that's good enough for me. 

...assuming the obvious, heli or sub?

Heli, definitely. If I'm going to be playing in the ocean, I'd rather have the boat. Wouldn't be opposed to having all three though, really. hehehe

I love RX-7's - but down here they cost alot to keep them ticking over as the wankel engine is a little bit of an exotic engine.

Also, there are not many RX-7s to be had - which is a shame!

How cool would that be? I'd get custom Stormtrooper gear to wear as real road armor.


...I totally forgot about this thread:)
