Hello everyone! I created this thread because, I have a great interest in automotive.
I've been working on vehicle's most of my life! mainly general maintanance like oil changes, tune up's, Etc.
I have done a bit of mechanical work as well.

My favorite vehicle make is GMC "General Motors Corporation"!
I have a 98 GMC Jimmy SLT 4x4 SUV...
Here are a few pics.!






Anyway, I put this thread up for anyone who likes to talk about cars, trucks, SUV's, Etc.
And if anyone has any questions about automotive in general, I will be more than glad to help
with the best of my knowledge on this subject...

Just a couple of my favs:

The ''Lamborghi V2'' ...The ulitimate super car...what a beast!...V2, i'm guessing it flies like a rocket.




The ''66 Ford Mustang'' ... An American classic muscle car... one of these babies would look so good sitting in my garage.

You must be talking about the Lamborghini Diablo V2! Yes, it's a V12 monster. with a 6.5L 12 cylinder and,
right at 600bhp yes its a rocket.


I'm also a fan of the shelby GT500 very nice car.

My favorite supercar has to be the Bugatti Veyron!

It's an 8.0 liter Quad-turbocharged W16 with 1000+ horsepower! It can exceed 250mph.

hey that last mustang is a 70's Boss looks like a 302...isnt that Lambo a Diablo?

ah yes the Bugati i beleave it goes around 253-258...uses so mutch stuff and only gets 1000hp

although there is another car that uses almost the same stuff exept only a V12
the Chrysler ME-412 HEMI (seems like the First Chrysler super car lol)
uses a V12 Quad Turbo Hemispheric Combustion Engine(aka HEMI)
has 850 Brake Horse Power(aka BHP)
0-60 2.9 seconds
and goes only 248 mph(Miles Per Hour) not sure what that is in Km/h(kilometer per hour)







but there is somthing faster its also by Mopar

the Dodge Hennessey Viper 1000TT Venom SRT10 HEMI mopars fastest car

uses only a V10 Twin Turbo HEMI
1000 BHP
0-60 in 2.9 seconds as well
baby tops out at 255mph

my bad the Bugati gets 1001 bhp

Yea Wolfie, i love the front end & the bonnet scoop set up on the 70 Mustang looks a little like the head of a white pointer shark.
The ''66-69'' are just my numero uno choices in the Stang range.

That Diablo must be the Italians contribution to anti-gravity propulsion technology. ROFL!!!

Heres one of the Aussie version of the Muscle car...The Ford Falcon GTHO ''Shaker''.
At the time and for many years it remained the fastest 4 door ever built. This baby is a GENUINE LEGEND of motor sport racing in Australia.
What it dosn't state in the specs is that they only ever built a few thousand of the GT & GT-HO range...hence the price tag for them now.

Well as some of you know I'm a bit of a car enthusiast myself. I own a 1962 Corvette and a 1980 Mercedes Coupe. Both of which I have restored myself.

I have also recentally purchased an old HQ Monaro which I plan to restore to its former glory.

I don't have a camera at the moment but this is pretty close to my Vette.




Though mines right hand drive of course

PICS AR WE WANT PICS AR!!!

I'm a Ford man AR but i'l post this one for ya cause i like ya man...
History of the Holden Manaro

HJ Monaro Coupe...

wow thats not to bad reminds me of the first classic im going to get the 1968 Cougar or the Regal GNX but im not getting that

and it took me long enough to figure out a second page was added to this stupid me lol

Yeah, I remember the aussie version ford falcon!

The newer GTO's here in the US have 6 liter V8's pushing 400hp

I'm a big fan of classic cars, I used to own a 1970 AMC Javelin! But, I sold it for $5,500 15 years ago.

Click to view attachment

The standard 1970 Javelin engine was the 6 cylinder 232. The major change in the V8 engines was the dogleg head design. During Trans-Am teting and racing, AMC engineers determined that about 50% more volume of air could be forced through the heads under extreme racing conditions, if the exhaust port on the heads were L shaped instead of square shaped. A running production change for the 1970 AMC engines was the inclusion of a new cam, nicknamed the "white stripe". Insurance price hikes were hurting the sales of pony cars and muscle cars at this time, so AMC did not raise the advertised horsepower by much with the new cam, but in reality the performance was greatly increased after this change.

The Donohue Javelin had a redesigned 360 engine. The engine block had thicker webbing to allow four bolt mains, and could be more easily bored out. The engine was designed for street racing and did well, but the bigger diameter two bolt system worked better for drag racing where the RPM's were a lot higher.

Hey Tommy, those GT looks RED HOT!!!...just hope they don't build to many of them or they run the risk of devaluing it later down the track, like they almost did over here with the Falcon GTs & Monaros because the demand was so great...


This is the latest '06 - '07 VE Holden Monaro...almost a mirror image of your version GT...



This is the Holden VZ GTS Monaro... not quite the crown jewel in the Monaro range but the price is around $60490 Au...they can keep it. lol!

Yeah, It's kind of like the new fordGT! It has a 5.4 liter supercharged V8 550hp supercar!

It's way to over-rated for a street legal supercar with a price tag exceeding $155,000.

Forget all the Lamborghinis & Ferraris even the GTs & Mustangs, this is the ultimate driving machine, a real beast...



My 97 4X4 Toyota Hilux...

This is a clone image of mine down to the color only mine has a full alloy bull bar and sports bar with spotties on it.
I only had spotties installed because it seemed like the trendy thing to do at the time...

Nice truck! I used to own a 96 toyota tacoma which is the same thing here.

Thought it a good idea to add these timeless classics 'motorcycle engineering masterpieces' Tommy...

Beautiful Rebel.

A harley is something I hope to have one day.

here are a few cars I'd love to take for a spin

1923 T Bucket



And the Holden Afijy Concept

Thanks AR. I tell ya those early Indians/Harleys are the pinnacle of motorcycling styling and engineering.


All those early cars were classic NOT plastic.
That FJ is...

Those FJ and FC Holdens where built around 54-57 but whenever i look at the styling...i think they were decades ahead of their time.



My '05 Fatboy...


Edit: resized pic.

Thats a nice Bike Rebel.

Still doesn't make up for you selling your Ford GTHO.

LOL!

Don't remind me AR!

But it was a 'XY GT Shaker' not a 'XY GT-HO' Shaker, massive difference in 'running gear' and (''handling options'' HO), otherwise i could have had an early retirement...and don't worry there are days where i bang my head against the wall for ever parting with it.
It still would have fetched big $$$ still had it.
I got pics but not on file...i don't think i'l ever post them though, it will only deepen my depression.

Later...

Ahh. I'd love a Shaker.

Thats one thats out of my price range for a long time unfortunately.

But I've seen some damn good fakes. Not the same I know but still nice...

I drive a '73 hemi 'cuda....on the weekends

...and am trying to buy this orange one on ebay. I do love me some 'cudas. I also am trying to talk my father into giving me his red '68 mustang convertible. I highly doubt that will happen. hehe.

For my everyday driving, I roll in a black '06 Mustang GT. Sexy time. I'll get pix. YaY!

Edit: because I clearly can not spell.

Do you wanna marry me?

Those are some really nice bikes REBEL! Indians are "Awesome".

The worlds fastest street legal super-car ever built to date...the 1994 Dauer 962 LeMans. from 0 to 60 MPH in 2.6 seconds.

This was once mine, my very first bike lol Sold it 2 years ago

And this is the bike of my dreams...

Honda CBR Repsol Edition

This is a clone image of the first bike i ever owned as a careless & reckless 18 year old, a 1976 XL Honda 175.

The last i ever rode it was just before i borrowed it to my cousin after which he brought it back to me thrashed in several pieces and in need of a quick burial. It was'nt all bad though, i lear'nt a valuable lesson that day...don't borrow/lend your bike or car for that matter to anyone, especially family.

Lets not forget about this beast! "V10 Dodge Tomahawk".

yup the Dodge Toma Hawk. has a Dodge Viper V10 engine can go over 300+ on Dyno no one has ever gone that fast on it it has 500+ BHP.btw nice to see you are back AC and Pandy starting off topic comments as usual.even though you hate me i kinda missed your randomness.photobucket is under maintenance so ill sent picture of my car and pictures ive takin in a game that has my car in it so ill put those on here later today
