Woo Hoo, 1st post. So, what else to you own worth mentioning?

Current car: 2006 S2000. Only mod so far is Dunlop Direzza Star Specs that I bought to replace the junk rubber that was on it when I picked the car up in late June. The tires are amazing. This car just sticks to the road. I go through five roundabouts (circular intersections--I know they have various names across the country) on my way to work every morning and this car is perfect for them. Depending on my financial situation in the next year or two I plan on going turbo with this thing along with a reinforced drivetrain. Would probably be somewhere around the low 400s @ the wheels with a 93 octane tune. For now though I'm just going to enjoy it and keep learning how to push it farther in the twisties.




Previous car which I will likely buy back from my dad: 99 Trans Am. Sold it to buy the S2000. I'm the second owner and it's got about 85k miles on it. Still runs and looks great. I had it for four years so I was ready for something different, but now I sort of miss it sometimes.

My DD is an Audi A6 4.2 w/dual full 2.5 inch exhaust w/magnaflow mufflers. Coded Transmission (just makes manual auto shifting a little better), 15% tint, and a boatload of miles on it lol.


My other fun project is a 1970 Plymouth Cuda w/a 383 V8, 4-Speed, Shaker hood. Its got coilover 4 link rear suspension, massive tires 295-35-18's in the rear, and 255-40-18's for the front. Currently I stripped it down a bare shell and had it media blasted and its being repainted. Here's a pic of it as it sat 3 months ago, its further along but I dont have any pics of it yet.

My summer daily driver is an '04 Saturn ION Red Line that I bought new in Sept of 2004. It has the 2.0 L supercharged ECOtec 4 cyl/Gretag 5 speed that is basically the SAAB 93 turbo 4 banger with a huffer instead of a hairdryer. GM rated it at 205 SAE crank HP and right out of the box it dyno'd 216 at the wheels which is around 254 at the crank. Bone stock it runs a 14.40 - 14.50 ET at 99.7 MPH in the 1/4. A factory stage II kit is available that has a smaller pulley, larger injectors and an ECU remapping for around $900 installed that will bump up the HP to 275 at the wheels and right around 325 at the crank. Not bad for a 2900# car with a Nurburgring tuned suspension. It is very fun to drive down on-ramps to Interstates and is a blast at autocrosses and track days and is a great DD that gets 28 MPG while driving it like it is a rental.

Nice Ion, are you a member of Sixsphere?

My other toy car (wife's now) is an 01 SC2

Nice Mustang indeed! Are you on Mustang Forums by chance? I bought my 07 4.0 Premium new and have since put over 53k miles on it last I checked without any problems other than a dead battery last month. It looks great and has a lot of exterior/interior mods but I knew to make it fast I'd have to drop in a new engine of TT/Supercharge it. I had wanted to buy a GTCS but I knew I was going to buy a home soon after so I got the 4.0 for the price/mpg/insurance rates. Now that it's paid off and I have my home...well it has me thinking...

Your car sounds nce. Yeah I'm on SVTperformance my son has a modded 07 Gt that is nice also.

My son's car got in a magazine

Cool! Is that Galveston?

Yea. I've been looking at the 335's and 135's. Do they have decent head room? I'm 6'5" will I fit?

That is going to be tough. I have a friend at work that is 6'4" and he "fits", but I don't think he's too comfortable. But... We always have people in the back seat with him in the front, so he can't move the seat back as much as he would like. I would say you can fit, but don't expect to have someone sitting behind you.
