I think it's about time we start one of these. This is the general discussion thread about weather, stock prices, the neighbor's dog, etc.

Actually I want a 1992 Dodge Grand Caravan ES sitting on basically an extended Z06 drivetrain/suspension. Although I'd take the Ford too :)

with a lil hard work and money we could put you into orbit. throw a banks twin turbo small block in it runin on nitro you would make around 2000 bhp and thats before the nitrous is used for anti lag

um... I want to be able to drive it on the street. 600-700RWHP out of an LS1 on pump gas I think is very possible. The trick would be the suspension. and a lot of work on the body to make it as light as possible. I don't want to go into orbit in it ;)

you should have steve schmidt here in indy build the ls1 for you. we put an ls7 in indiana state universitys dragster last year i think it made around 950hp.

I haven't won the lottery yet. Even though this is still a la-la land fantasy I'm keeping my fantasies to a realistic budget...

GM stock has now doubled, of course when your starting at just over a point a piece, its not hard to do!
