What Else Is In Your Garage?

I also have a kickass push mower...

The chassis looks so nice, I would hate to put a body over it.

This group here has some really nice rides!

Thanks, my bike is a 95 GoldWing that has all of 11K miles, my 2018 Limited, the mustang is a roush that belongs to my son, the C5 has 37K miles and I bought the V for my wife? which I must say is a hoot to drive!

I sold my 2018 mustang gt to carvana in August for a great price. The plan was to save for a Bronco as a toy, but 50k is steep for a 3rd vehicle. Now I may just trade my
2015 F-150 in on an F-150 “Tremor”.

 

[YOCUBED]

Right now my 2011 Grand Cherokee, wife's 2020 GLE 450 and my 16

Don't have a good pic of the Jeep

I must have went into the wrong line of work... Lol

You have very good taste! I bet that BMW handles like a sweet dream.

It's my wife's, and it does. I wish I had the skills to drive it properly. She says I drive like a grandma. She is faster than me on 4 wheels. In her college days she organized an SCCA all women's race team. I taught her to ride motorcycles a few years back and now the only track days we do are on the bikes.

A shot of my EVO, too bad I couldn't find any track pictures...

I heard those things are quick. What is the hp and torque on them?

I heard those things are quick. What is the hp and torque on them?

Stock was only 240 HP and 250 lb-ft at the wheels on a chassis dyno in 2011, but a stock EVO is a unicorn. Mine is at 330 HP 335 lb-ft at the wheels now, which is more than enough to take Boss 302's on road courses. Mine has a very conservative list of upgrades and tune to save the twin clutch transmission. I can max it out at about 375/375 if I tune for E85, and that's as far as the twin clutch should really be pushed. Building the clutches to take more gets very expensive, and the trans is very expensive to replace if you grenade one. But the perfect rev matched downshifts on track sure are easy. These were only 4.9 sec 0-60 cars back in the day, and they are really made for the twisties, road courses, and rally racing, not straight line speed. The torque vectoring AWD system makes learning how to drive fast on a road course much easier for a novice. Pro drivers would be faster in those Boss 302s, especially on a course with longer straights, but most amateurs will be faster in the EVO because of the handling, braking, and AWD power delivery. The 5 speed cars can be tuned to about 450/450 without building the engine, and 1000 HP has been done, which is pretty unreal for a 4 cylinder turbo, but those are $30k engine builds...

They are something different, you don't see that many of them, and most people have no idea what they are as long as they don't have fart can exhausts and huge wings. I love mine, and I will own it forever, but I shopped it new against those Boss 302s and I couldn't find a Ford dealer that would sell a 302 at sticker, so I went and bought this at invoice. But I still lust after those Boss 302s, and I am committed to ordering a Mach 1 this time around so I don't regret not picking one up. And then the EVO will probably be gutted and caged for 100% track work, and when the clutches start slipping, then I'll build them and the engine for a true track beast.

Sounds like nothing but fun city!! That is a still a lot of power for a vehicle that doesn't weigh very much.

My Hellcat is a fat girl but feels so smooth on the road, would still be nice to drop about 1,000 pds out of her butt. Lol

This is what I did to the drive shaft on a car show fun day at a track. 3rd run and all He^% broke loose. You know something bad has happened when you see bolts going down the track and you are not. Good thing Dodge warrantied everything.

7.4 sec in the 1/8 mile. I even had folding chairs and ice chest in the trunk. Lol

My car is stock, including the tires.

Yeah, I can put all my tools, a suitcase, cooler, a pop-up canopy, and my track wheels/tires in the car and drive to the track. But eventually I'll have a trailer for the F-150 to pull the EVO to race tracks that are too far to be stranded at with things like twisted driveshafts...

We truly live in the golden age of performance cars. Multiple 700 HP vehicles from the Big 3 is pretty insane. Sure hope gasoline doesn't go above $5/gallon with our new political regime, or it might be the end of the fun...

You got that right! I've decided people are stupid and watch the wrong news network. Lol
