Anybody remember the Ford Shogun?

naa chairboy... i probly am as big a dork as you at first suspected... some have even called me insensitive and opinionated.

One of the reasons I offered to take funkeds car and beat wildthing is because I didn't think it was quite fair using one of mine. I also realize that there is HP to be found in modern iron... I just don't like the fast and furious look. I think a subie that looked like a grocery/commuter car that ran in the 12's would be a much bigger hoot than some purple front wheel drive monstrosity that ran in the 13's...

I think I could do it. I don't know for sure cause I never have but... even a cursory look at what's available makes me think so. And I don't even have a degree. still, it's just a motor. The 4 wheel drive thing is intrigueing... how to make it strong enough yet not weigh an excessive amount.. Seems they are getting there.

Can you imagine a Healey with an Ls1 motor and the transaxle from a subie or some other little 4 wd car? shoot for 2000 lbs and about 500 hp @ 6,000 rpm with 4 wd. might take more than a little sanding tho. Never was much good at sanding anyhow... just look at my Healey.

Actually My first time really letting her loose she got away from me, kicked into second gear shot down the parking lot at blinding speed and hit the only parked vehicle there. A 2003 toyota landcruiser.... DOH!!!! I broke front shock tower and top deck. I was fortunate to only hit the tire. It had to have been doing 60 easy.

Lazs, I need an opinion on SB chevy camshaft replacement. Are you feeling charitable enough to dole out some advice via Email or phone?

Just out of curiosity - how are you planning to get Funks BPU (factory boost) WRX into 12's, Lazs? I dont think Schumacher could do that.

The best time Ive seen advertised by the rags for a non-STi is 14.4 @ 95MPH. Hell, even the STi is a mid 13 second car that traps a hair above 102-103MPH.

Now - dont confuse me with a defender of rice, but the real indicator of a cars acceleration is the trap speed, not the ET. I didnt go back and look, but I seem to remember WT's trap speed being somewhere in the neighborhood of 110-115MPH? Isnt that 03 SVT Cobra territory?

Ah hell, I dunno - y'all keep fighting about who has bigger numbers and who can drive for a quater mile in a straight line better than the other.

I was kind of wondering about All wheel drive myself Laz.

My thought was, and all wheel Drive GTO or A-body.

I am not sure how it could be done but it would be cool.

Saur
Hotrod ran a shoot out between the current cobra and STI and the STI was damn close if not a bit faster. I dont remeber the times though...
just found it 13.29 V 13.30 with the STI winning.

You guys are pretty pathetic flaming wldthing just because what he does to his car.

Both the Austin Healey and wldthings car are beautiful. Dont care much for that other american *thing* on the driveway tho.. thats just smurfy

Guess the difference in age plays a big part, i appreciate both classic and modern styling but then again i am 20 - 30 years younger than most of you

Wldthing did a good job on his car. Its the ricers that put huge exhausts, bodykits and massive spoilers on their cars - and leave the crappy little engine stock that need yer attention.

Fur
I am 30.
I like old iron alot, but some new cars like the STI are cool. Looks wise it sucks, but it was a kick to drive.

Still wildthings car is nasty looking...... at least from the pics he posted. The interior is RICE heaven. Tacky..

Still to each his own.
