For those interested here is a pic of my newest car should run 8.50 in a quarter mile and is street leagal i will find out next weekend

I'm far from a car guy, but I have to say those muscle cars are the only older cars I really like: What's the make and model of that bad boy?

72 nova it has a 638 cubic inch motor with a 3 stage nitrus system and a 5 speed lenco transmition i built this one from the ground up. I started with a pile of tubing built my own chassis the only steel parts on the car are the roof and quarter pannels the rest is carbon fiber i have about 42k invested in this one.

American Nova and British Nova are worlds apart! File:Vauxhall Nova 1982 Bateman Street.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I think I'll take the money hit and go American on this one

Just finished dynoing the car it put out 1243 horse power on the nitrus and 822 off the nitrus not bad for a street car...lol

Y ai would say they are a little different

When you have finished these do you race them for pink slips or is that quite rare- I couldn't personally imagine wanting to put 42 k at risk as well as a project I had worked hard on.

no I dont but i have seen crazy crap like that happen. Here is a vid on what it is like to make a pass at the track

Since I was a kid I have wanted an El Camino, I do not care at all about cars and have no desire to get a fixer upper or anything like that, I generally buy my cars new or a couple years old and they are almost 100% foreign... My dad gave me a fixer upper car and I sold it right away, but for some reason I just have this soft spot for El Caminos. 3 times in my life I have either approached someone in their yard or knocked on their door to try to buy the car in their driveway and was rejected all 3 times... I once offered a guy 7k in cash on the spot for his El Camino and he told me it was probably only worth 5k but it was special to him.... One day I will get one

well i went and ran the car last night it ran faster than i expected it ran 7.67 @ 170.8 mph in a quarter mile.... i have created a monster...lol
