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.

Damnit!!! Why do you get to play with toys while I only have a powdercoated red turbocharger?

I want that chassis.

you want a 32 ford bantam roadster? eh powdercoating is overrated just like carbon fiber
unfortunatly we do both. im happy with duplicolor vht

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.
