LittleRedSpirit Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Mine is a limited edition Lotus Esprit, turbo. About a 91 model. Belonged to my gfs dad. Blue leather, alpine goodies, white pearl paint and it did 130 km/h in second gear without revving all that hard. Soooo fun. You pretty much lie down inside it. Think he only paid about 65 or 70 grand for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRedSpirit Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) so how much power does it have? Sounds like a weapon. Tell us more. Whats going on with the rods? :P Edited March 17, 2007 by LittleRedSpirit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) My fastest car I've been in would have to beeeeeeeeeee unfortunately an AE82 Corolla with a turbo conversion (at this stage). But for nice cars, nothing beats my uncle's old 74 LT Camaro. Now THAT was a nice car. Edited March 17, 2007 by Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I think the winner for me would be my mates vs commo, it has a COME racing all alloy 400 cube in it, 25 grand worth of 600hp crate motor. It idles like a baby, you would hardly pick it, but when he nails it the 20s fry up in the first four gears. Its quite funny because the car looks so nice and only the decerning ear would pick up on the cubes through exhaust note, every man and his skyline wants a go. So we get to see some pretty shocked faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Etiher the R33 GT-R or the R34 GT-R with 303rwkw - both owned by the same person. The R33 is this quickest car I've been down a quarter mile in (on bitumen with loose gravel on top), but the R34 is a quicker car - I just haven't had the same experience in it. I've been around various motorkhana courses in both cars - sideways most of the time. I'd be hard pressed to decide which car was faster while sideways, but both put a MASSIVE smile on my face. The fastest car I have ever driven would either be my uncles standard WRX (about a 98/99 model) or my 4A-GZE KE55. Love the feel of the turbo kicking in on the Rex - love even more the wheels lighting up in third on a dry road in the KE55 just after it was tuned. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToDa30/4 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 so how much power does it have? Sounds like a weapon. Tell us more. Whats going on with the rods? :P stock 2nd gen 3sgte rods & crank balanced , etc.& stress relieved by Chris Miltons good for 9500 rpm , best pull was 225 awkw @8000 rpm on a hybid CT26/ GT30R , ran on the street at 205 awkw had all sorts of dramas with the internal gate not holding preasure , so now have fitted the GT35R externaly gated , we hope to get around 300 awkw on the 264o cams if not i will swap out the cams for some 272o hks & do the shimless 1zze conversion so i don't loose the std bucket over shims with the higher lift . car is going thru a rebirth at the mo & will be back together , on the dyno & the track april 07 cheers dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7shades Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 One of my father's business associates has an Aston Martin Vanquish I was fortunate enough to borrow for a dirty weekend with the gf once... quick, but not as quick as the supra a friend of mine in brissy owns. Purpose built for top speed with a monster single turbo and stupid diff ratio. Easily clips 300kph... but a pussbox auto AE82 could beat it to 60. Bogs down, bunny hops and lurches its way through traffic but as soon as it spools up... holy shit. Your eyeballs fill with blood and small rips are created in the time-space continuum...

olskool Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I don't actually know which car that I have been in was the fastest, but the ones I will definitely remember are: Mazda RX-7 Series 5 with a few minor mods VL Turbo, don't know what was done to this but it was crazy. It got wheel spin in third gear after the clutch slipped and grabbed again. Nissan Pintara Wagon with RB-20 conversion with HKS Turbo and few other small mods Nissan Silvia S-13 SR-20 DET All those cars were pretty damn exciting and accelerated with many G Forces. I had fun, but who doesn't when all the have ever owned was 4K powered KE Corollas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philba Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 My brother used to have a HJ Kingswood, ex-stock car 253, M20, and Chev 10 bolt diff. He had that wound off the clock. Estimated at about 220 kph and he said still had a bit of throttle left but it was a bit too floaty. And yet it felt like we were cruising. But I guess that what happens driving in the Territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSearcher Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) OK, I've Driven a Maserati Quattroporte 8cyl Twin Turbo (that was fun - and fast and a little bit scary) and I've been in (but not driven) a 1957 Lotus 12 (chassis 353), ex race car of Graham Hill, a Porche 944, a Ford GT40 (you know the one with the shell) um and a Skyline R34 I think it was (it's the yellow one that's been at SCS and a couple of other car shows here in adelaide and also at the summernats and of course some maniac MR2's.
