GEEZ, now I feel old.

1. 89 Mustang LX 400+ hp (very scary and very ugly, but very fast) friends car (mustang junkie/tuner/machinist

2. 88 Ford Ranger GT well over 300HP. Had a built 5.0 stuffed into it (see mustang junkie/tuner/machinist friend). That thing was scary fast if you could keep the back end on the ground (wich I wasn't very good at), sitting in neutral give it gas and the whole thing rocked. even at the immortal age of 17 there was many a time when I was going so fast in this truck I was frightened (very light car with a speedo that stopped at 85 while the needle just sat buried and occasionaly bounced. I think this was that fastest car I owned.

3. 94?(whatever year the new body design was)Toyota Supra TT 320? (I guess I could look it up). My step brother *ahem* borrowed it from the owner under the guise of detailing it. I ran that car at 125 down King St in lancaster PA (once again at the immortal age of 17) it was a 25mph zone.

4. 92 SVX 230hp yeah you know the deal with this one.

5. 93 Eclipse GST 210? hp The nice thing about this car is that it was badged as a GS and that is what the insurance company thought it was. It also had a touring wing and the pop-up lights.

Hmmmm....... Alright, here are mine...

---1996 Pontiac Firebird Formula..... ~ 345hp??? (I think)
---1999 Ford Mustang Cobra conv.... ~ 320hp
---1999 Subaru WRX Version VI..... ~ 276hp (Dad's car in Australia)
---1995 Subaru SVX..... ~ 250hp My Baby(estamate with mods)
---1978 Datsan/Nissan 280Z..... ~ 200hp (rough estamate)


Then there was that little beast of a car the 2001 Mazda Miata Special Edition that I took to Reading this year... That was one hell of a fun little car, but the best by far was my dad's 1999 Version 6 WRX in Australia... I drove it back in 1999 when he first bought it... He didn't have it when I went back this past year.... Sold it for a down payment on a flock of sheep for the farm and a 1970 something Toyota Landcruiser... I nearly cried... He said that he is getting too old for it's power and wants to concentrate on the farm... That's cool, I'll just have to get one when I move back over there...

What was it a dealer left over for 20 years???? It couldn't have been that bad. You are still able to find a pulse in your wrist right?

Yea kinda ****ty, but my dad looks at it from a profit standpoint... The sheep are Spanish Marino's or something... They have some of the finest wool in the world and are used to make those Italian suits... So there's a profit there I can understand... Besides he had the car for a few years... Much more and it would start giving him problems, as older cars do....

Not sure of HP ratings but here's some fast car's I've driven:

Definitely #1: 1994 Dodge Viper (my dad's)

1984 Corvette (dad's)

1972 Camaro Z28 RS (my brother's)

1986 BMW 635 (dad's)

2003 BMW Z4 (test drive)

How much HP in a 1973 Cadillac convertible? I know it had a 504 cubic inch engine. Big car...horn sounds like a diesel train's and it idled at 30 mph. (also dad's)

Place my 1994 SVX where ever appropriate.
