What ELSE do you drive??

[gone_n_60]

My GT is my daily, when I’m not working. When I’m at work is a 2023 Mercedes Sprinter POS.

My other car is a 1969 Chevelle SS396. She was born a 4 speed, 325hp 396. Factory AC with a bench seat. I built the 509 big block in it, swapped in a Tremec TKX 5-speed, Holley Terminator X EFI. It made 652hp and 627lb ft on a chassis dyno.

It was my dad’s car in the 70’s and 80’s up until he sold it. I was able to hunt it down and buy it back before he passed away, though he never got to ride or drive it again. I’d like to think he would be proud of how far it’s come

The other car in the stable is my wife’s vehicle/family hauler/tow rig. It’s a 2wd 2022 Ford Expedition XLT with tow package.

This is a very cool car and a super nice story. I spilled beer in a few of these cars due to my friends bad driving of course! We lived.

what do I drive otherwise..... a plain white 2015 Passat TDI. no pic necessary, it's a simple white sedan that appears to have a stealth speeding cloak. I pass Troopers at 75mph in a 55 zone and nothing! Being the last of the Dieselgate VW it gets great milage and I had over $5000 worth of VW Diesel work done on it for free. Other 4 wheels is a old 2006 Nissan Titan 4WD pickup, hanging in there but looks horrible (Titans suffer from "bald" spots on roof).

And then there were 2...I put my garage(s) on a diet a couple of years ago and the survivors were

Well, it used to be in my garage. Loved the handling, just missed the raw power...

I have my supercharged 2019 Mustang which is a GT Premium 401A A10 with every option (Magnaride, leather Recaro's, etc), including the rubber floor mats from Ford I will mention that I don't normally own sports cars because they get me in trouble. Meaning the Mustang will be last car like this I own.

My other ride is my wife's 2015 Kia Sorento SXL, which is loaded as well with a V6 and AWD. This is probably one of the most reliable cars I've owned.. Probably due to my wife being the driver.

When it comes to previous rides, I wish I still had my 2007 Corolla S. I took that car on roads most people wouldn't take a truck and it just kept right on going. Sold it to my family in 2017 and every single one of my 3 nieces wrecked it but it still wouldn't die. Sadly it gave up the ghost at 180,000 when my nephew got t-boned. RIP Corolla.

I mention the Corolla because that will be my next car so the Mustang can sit. When the Kia no longer runs my wife wants a Silverado. Maybe when I'm 60 I'll get the urge for a Corvette but you have to be that old to own one anyway

I had a sport before the ST, the sports are fast, but the ST is on a whole different level.

Do they still have the Exploder nickname or do they survive longer nowadays?

It ran a 13.72 when stock and now with an E30 mix in the tank I managed a [email protected] not bad for a 5000+ lb suv

I just had to comment on the 5000lb statement. My buddy calls his 2009 Saub SUV a 5000lb brick. It's got an LS3 with a CTS-V blower on top of it. It's a hell of a sleeper car. Runs mid 11's at 118 or so. When that thing shifts into 2nd gear and lights up the tires you know it means business. Pretty badass for a 5000lb brick.

I used to have a 1995 Honda Accord EX Coupe on BC Racing Coilovers, full N/A build as far as parts were available (which was super limited). Its transmission is made of glass and she started eating oil so had to sell her at 197k miles… sad to see her go and mustang became new DD.

I don’t have many pictures so sorry for the quality. Bought off the lot back in the day and couldn’t deal with the bounciness as I got older. And absolute gem of a dream to drive, miss her everyday. Hugged the road like a train on rails and could outpace any other N/A honda and often the older SI civics. The newer ones always blew the doors of me though haha

 

[I Bleed Ford Blue]

Yeah, Ford seriously underpowers the ecoboost engines, there is a lot left on the table. The ST is rated at 400 hp from the factory and they can run 13.7,13.8 all day. With the 12.0's I have run, online calculators estimate I'm about 515-520 whp, they put out around 320-330 stock.

Just wondering what else everyone has in their garage/collection. Total judgement Free Zone.

Here's mine.

The Bullitt with the little rescue dog. Cutest Damn dog I have ever met........ As a lifelong German Shepherd ONLY kind of guy, it is embarrassing, but she is such a sweet little thing. I don't see it as a dog, it is a living stuffed animal entity................

1989 944 S2 "New Addition" Rescued from a 90 year old original owner. Likely going to be a "flip" to roll the $$ into something else, but so far is very interesting.

1976 912E - Rescued in 2010, rebuilt and out back on the road in 2015. Total Dream car since 1974. Will keep till I die and pass on in my will.

The DAILY DRIVER 2017 Tundra TRD PRO - 100K FLAWLESS MILES........... Best overall daily driver and overall vehicle I have ever owned. Hauls @$$, Hauls, seats 5, tows anything, goes through anything. Really love this truck.

OK, I'm done now YOU SHOW YOURS.

That's what I call my TBSS, it runs similar times to your buddy's Saab but its na. I can flat foot that truck at a 30 roll and just eat the tires alive.
