Quoted from Roostking:Prowler with V8, what could have been.
Quoted from RockfordReplay:Uuunnnnnggh! Like fingernails on a blackboard.
I know Prowler owners really get tired of hearing that one! We’re friends with a couple that own a Viper and a Prowler, he drives the Viper and his wife drives the Prowler. After awhile they ended up buying a second Viper so that she had something funner to drive. They still kept the Prowler though, one of the most unique American cars made.

The Viper is special too. It was interesting to find Prowler owners who have Vipers too. Over the years, I found it's quite common.

1. Its widely known that Sammy Hagar is a Trans Am guy. He isn't driving no Hemi Cudas either.
2. Mustangs wreck into crowds, its a thing. Im just playing around!

I know, its Sammy, of course he has one of everything. Sorry I didnt mean to offend anyone with a simple off the cuff joke about Mustangs.
Carry on.
In the late 80's, early 90's; the mustangs were a big draw. It felt like everyone owned 'em. I remember transitioning from an '85GT to a modified '84Z28 - sleeper, I registered the license plate: XGT OWNR. Simply had to 'irk' the Mustang guys. It's good fun, part of the culture.

I'd rather have the LaFerrari directly behind him.
Thinking of picking of a McLaren MP4-12C. Volcano orange w/30k of OEM carbon fiber options. I know it was McLaren's first year of production and there were some hiccups. Any major concerns to took for other than the usual service history, recalls completed, quirkiness stuff?

Amazing car. Just be sure you realize why you're getting 458 performance at half the price!

Highway 354 ?
Quoted from Fulltilt:Back to my spring time cruise around Boone's Creek. Seems to be running great. Time to hit the highway, weather is fantastic!
Note to me: get the rear end leak fixed.

Top: The new radio camouflage is complete. Doesn't quite completely mimic it's donor, but close enough that a casual observer might not be curious as to what hides beneath.
Middle: with all the "camo" removed aside from a thin strip of matte black vinyl... thus still masking the Kenwood DMX706S ever so slightly.
Bottom: last but not least, well, yea least, the factory head unit.
Only taken me 9 years for this mod.

Why not just upgrade to a factory unit that has NAV and all the updated stuff?
Quoted from Meegis:Why not just upgrade to a factory unit that has NAV and all the updated stuff?
1) don't need nav, it's on my phone
2) need (prefer) 5 channel preamp out's
3) bluetooth on OEM was going bad
4) I just wanted this one.

Ah, ok. It reminded me of my wife's Eos. Fun little car.

Boone's Creek Rd. I-26 to Jonesborough.
Why yes, I do believe that's 354!
Quoted from crlush:Very nice color! did he even need one quart?
Funnily enough he did give me tin of spare paint when I collected it on Saturday!
My engine is being shipped out this week.
1310cc
GT17 turbo on sidewinder manifold
It made 155hp and 145ftlb at 9psi on the dyno. To put that in perspective this engine and turbo combo will take around 20psi which will see well over 200hp/ftlb but I am happy with that power for a running in period until I turn up the boost.
Should be a lot of fun in a 1,300lb car!

Holy cow, that is going to be a rocket!! How do you plan to put the power to the ground?

With a very light foot! Ha-ha
It has a quaife atb differential which should help pulling it out the corners. Torque steer is going to be the main issue but the suspension is fully adjustable.
The shell is in the pin shed, not ideal but at least it is nice and dry and warm!

Fun and functional and it looks like a great family vehicle.
A little secret: one thing I do for my trucks is put on a tow hitch receiver(Walmart,etc.) that sticks out in the back. Why do I do that? Well because I have been hit from behind one too many times by distracted drivers. Last year a lady in the line at the bank hit me from behind, she crunched her new Lexus as my tow hitch got a slight scratch on it. Also helps if you back into something on accident. You would be surprised how the tow hitch receiver takes the brunt of most impacts. It has saved me several trips to the body repair shop.

I've wanted a Corvette since I was a kid. It's not the exact color or model I hoped for, but I'm in the club and it's pretty badass. 2005 with 33k miles.
It's in desperate need of a detail, can't wait to tear into it this weekend.
I got my first Corvette wave today. I didn't realize that was a thing. I'm going to have to drive around for days trying to find the guy so I can wave back, I feel like a jerk. Ha!

Love those new F-Types.
Pretty sure Jaguar spent more development money on that exhaust note than some makers spent on their entire cars.
