What car do you have to drive and race around in real life

[SlammedNiss]

Re the Porsche.  Dad had a minty 1978 928.  Practically brand new in 2012.  All original.  Made us so nervous to even touch it he eventually sold it.  Seriously, the widow showed him how open the doors and hood without touching the paint minty.  I'd rather a mid-80s Nissan rip off, to be honest.

Ah, the 928. My all around favorite Porsche.


(not mine, just a pic I pulled from Google)

And yeah, those Toyota 22R engines are virtually bulletproof.

That is awesome.  I used to drive Z-cars and always wanted to put a 350 in one.  I had no idea you could do that with the 240SX.   

but I also have a 1997 Nissan 240SX SE with a V8 out of a 1999 Corvette that I built myself (it's drivable but still needs a few things before I start driving it on the regular)

sweet car!!! looks like a death-trap but that adds to the fun!  At $10,000.00, what are you getting out of your labor building that thing like $1.00 per hour?

Well, the guy that had it built had machinists that build satellites and missiles and crap do it off the clock.  Box framed and it'll survive a nuclear blast.

I think my dad paid around $2,200 for it.  The  builder was inspired by some 90s BMW concept car but he made an -assload- of amateur mistakes on it, and we decided he sold it so cheap because it probably nearly killed him once and he got scared.  When I drove it, he had an oil temperature gauge that used rubber hosing rather than a wireless sender, so the hot oil melted the line and sprayed all over the engine.  That caused a nice fire and burned a lot of my hair off.

Anyway, it always garnered a lot of attention and it was about as fast and no frills as you can get.  My dad ironed a lot of the bugs and idiocy out of it and sold it two or three years ago.

I love the old Z-cars. I was one of the first people to put an LS1 into an S14 240sx in the US, but now it's actually really popular. there are 4 or so companies that make swap kits. Check out silviav8.com if you're interested I've actually written a bunch of posts detailing different aspects of the swap.

I dominate the pavement in a 2009 Pruis..  The ladies drop their panties as soon as they see this amalgam of masculinity!! 

Yep - you can see the hair on their legs when they do it.

Beautiful Porsche 928 (SlammedNiss), an underestimated superb car, if he put the original rims, it would look even better. I've had a Porsche 944 turbo (tuned to about 350 hp), and lately a Porsche 911 DP targa "project". Now I drive a Nissan Leaf electrical car, to save money.

     My car is a 77" cad (with issues) but it zooms really fast because it got a big gas sucking engine in it.... and of course, It has "Jenn" plates.
