This car has always been a favorite of mine.

420Ztt (wins on different levels)

I bet you could get it for cheap now if this is the same car.

I'll check and try to get a better response but my take would be to run as low a tune as possible and assume oem reliability on the block (remember it was rebuilt to handle the turbo power). You'll need to learn a bit about the setup and any fine tuning to keep it burning clean, but the VQ-DE turbos and VQ-HR n/a builds are great platforms. And the handling upgrade is key for this build, that one looks like a well balanced car. Most sell for cheap due to joe shmoe buyer not u understanding what separates a good build from bad.

Right on, thanks. Given the amount of power it appears you can get out of these motors, I don't understand why people do the 350 LS swaps given the weight difference.

Yep. Im familiar with the car. He got rid of it for a GTR I believe.

Did your buddy decide on new or old Raptor? Shoot me a txt whenever.

That's probably what I will end up with because I like it the most. Octane Red is more rare.

Id really like to find a Maximum Steel one as they only did 28 in that color for 2017. Dark Gray with some blue in it.




They built 1100 less Chargers than Challengers in 2017.

Not only is the Charger a better car dynamically, its also more rare.

This is going to be the last all gas muscle sedan.

Wouldn't even exist without the CTS-V...paved the way for brute American modern sedan muscle

Yo Bobby S., day after thanksgiving I’m driving down the road to pick up a pizza and I pass a black 1979-80 Monte Carlo just like the one in your pictures on the side of the highway with steam billowing out from under the hood and the driver pacing frantically on his phone behind it.

I tell my wife, hey there’s a guy on the TRG that’s looking for that exact car to which she rolled her eyes and didn’t reply.

On the return trip 10 minutes later I notice a ton of flashing lights and all southbound lanes shut down as the Monte Carlo was completely engrossed in 25 foot flames. My wife then says “tell your internet ski friends that you know where you can find a good deal on that shitbox if he gets here quick enough”.

So, if you’re interested in a less than showroom quality example, I can point you to the right mile marker.

Just tooling around in a 380k car.

Had dealer plates on it, so i assume it's one of Herb Chambers'

His other daily drivers which he leaves parked on the street around here are a Mercedes SLR and a Veyron

Just tooling around in a 380k car.

For a car that wasn’t even good enough to be a Ferrari?

And as for the SLR, as good as I’m sure that car is, every time I see the one around me in traffic I think, damn that’s one ugly car.

Dino original cost ~$15K

~$90k, ok then.

The thing they say about the Teslas is that the acceleration is totally linear. So if those numbers are true, it is one solid pull from 0 to 250 mph. Like being on a rocket launch. The g-force must be incredible.

Never underestimate Tesla. If the guy can land a rocket booster uptight on a moving, floating drone barge when EVERYONE said it couldn't be done, even the sky is not the limit for Elon and his companies.

It's not linear at all.
A 1/4 mile in 9 seconds topically translates to a 0-60 in about 4 seconds, not 2.

An electric motor has max torque at 0 rpm.

Anyway, this car still handle like a pig with a 600 kwh battery.

I don't know of a car that does 0-60 in 4 seconds and still cracks off a 9 second 1/4 mile.

LaFerrari is sub 3 seconds and does a 9.8.
Demon is 2.3 and does a 9 something.
Aventador SV is 2.8 and in the 10s I believe.
918 is around 2.5 somewhere.

Everything is about filling the torque curve early.

What is this? Mecum?

What the hell is that?? A Bentley with suicide doors?

That would be one hell of a strange torque curve to beget those 4 sec 0-60 and 9 sec 1/4 mile numbers!

I’ve always loved that car. Great lines. Interesting that a friend who has had many Ferrari’s called his Dino a piece of shit. Not sure what that means... looks fucking awesome. Herb Chambers is a fucking boss but driving a veyron is tops on the douchebag scale.

[Bobby Stainless]

Yeah, but the Chiron is sick.

I wonder what the owner means that the doors need to be adjusted? Otherwise, this might be a winner.

Lots of speculation in bat about how parts are mismatched. There are red flags if you're a collector, but if you just wanna look good this one is indeed a winner.

A storied 1954 Jaguar D-type Works (OKV 2) is expected to fetch £9-£11 million at auction in Sotheby's Arizona sale on January 18-19

The third of six works Jaguar D-types to be built at Jaguar's Coventry factory in 1954, this particular car was piloted by Sir Stirling Moss and Peter Walker. It set a speed record of 172.97mph on the Mulsanne straight, then retired with a brake problem after midnight.

OKV 2 continued to be raced at Goodwood, Oulton Park, Aintree, Silverstone and more in the mid-1950s, with drivers such as Bob Berry, Peter Blond, Ron Flockhart, Jack Fairman, Ivor Bueb, and Reg Harris taking the helm of one of the most active D-types of the decade.

Been watching this for a couple of days. So many odd little things wrong with it. It’s like the seller just won’t bother to put it back together correctly after the resto. Really an awesome looking car overall
