Your dream car.. in reality??

I am 80% done with mine, and drive it on the weekends.

03/04 Cobra as well. A Dodge Viper RT/10 but that is a little out there. About these Z06s. My cousin and I were watching street rods go by (if you know York, PA, you know the hot rods come into town every year) and an 02 red Z06 pulled into the parking lot. It ended up being a kid my cousin bowls with. He just got a Procharger P1SC or something put on it. He is actually thinking about trading it in for a D-1. He went to Ocean City, MD right after he got it put on and got beat by a SN95 Mustang with 4 passengers. He said he spun all the way through 3rd and by that time the race was over. The car is absolutely sick but so are his payments (750 a month and 3k a year for ins.). Just needs traction now and that would be a killer. What kind of numbers would that be pushing?
a guy i know has the same setup, bone stock down to the exhaust manifolds with a p-1sc that he built while he worked at ati. he put down 532hp and 517tq. he has the same problem with traction, but i was with him on the highway when he absolutely wasted a cbr 600 f4 from an 80 roll. zo6's are bad, for christ sakes they come with a thinner windshield to reduce weight.
 
Mine would be any fox chassis (mustang, fairmont, 87bird with a 540+ BB and minitub with dumps and huge rear tires. OD would be very nice.

That or the same chasis with a turbo 393.

Fuel injection would be preferred for either.

I am too busy trying to have financial security 30 years down the line to ever build it. That and paying uncle sam over $25,000 a YEAR in income tax.

Overall, I am very happy with the stang I have now. Wish it was street legal and ran those numbers on pump gas, but what the heck.

Oh and a 03 cobra with a whipple/turbo, auto and a solid rear axle.
 
I'm in the process of building mine. Imagine Mike Murillo's engine(with a 331 instead of the 310) in a full Maximum Motor sport suspension 89 GT with a viper spec T56 to hold together under the strain of 800hp, BAER brakes to pull it to a halt. It may never run 8's on that suspension, but I'm sure Mike Murillo's car( :drool: ) won't corner over 1g either.

THe 'bird' looks nice.....

Where'd your weight end up?

Thanks, last time I weighed it, was 3245 lbs. No idea what it is now. Been spending a lot of time just enjoying it lately. When I pulled into the Nashville stop for the Hot Rod Power Tour, a photographer came up and started asking me some questions. He spent about 45 minutes taking pictures and asking questions. He said he was doing a story about non tradional builds ups for a magazine, and that my car was perfect for it. It made my day... :)
 
I just need about 20k to put in my '88 GT and it would be my dream car.

A 5.0 Foxbody hatch w/ 5-speed has been my dream car since I've been into Mustangs. Now that I have it, I need it to be nicer and faster. :D
 
if its got to be something that i can afford someday then..
a low mile 93 cobra
or a 65 or 66 k code fastback red with the white deluxe interior.
and on the far end of that a mid 80's ferrari 308 like magnum P.I. drove.
