What kind of car do you REALY want.

[WayFast84]

So, Ive noticed their are a few people who want different cars then what they have now, If you had 35 grand to spend on a car, and modify it what would it be? What Is your favorite kind of car? If their was one car you sold that you would want back what would that be?

[ar0ck]

With 35g's I still can't afford the car I really want. But with 35g's I could make a real mean Silver & Black 95 Z with alot of extra cash to spend.

[BonzoHansen]

35g will get me a used CTS-V.

I'd just dump it into the two I own. :)

[Untamed]

For that money I'd keep the one I have plus a second gen TA. Both would be restored, mostly by my hand.

[78camaro]

im with alex 35k is pocket change now a days in the auto market...

[WayFast84]

im with alex 35k is pocket change now a days in the auto market...
I know, thats why I put it at 35 k:lol:


me personally Im into rat rods more then anything

1920-1960's cars
rodded out

Primer, flatblack, pin stripes, white walls etc.

Id want a ford 3 window, no fenders no hood, bare metal with 3 coats of clear. an ls1 with a t56 :lol:

Or a 70 ss flat black

[baddest434]

yup 35g's won't get the car i'd want. be a nice downpayment though.

[lastcall190]

35k? I'd H/C/I my car and save the rest... what I really want is a C6 Z06, that can get half of the car... C5 Z06 is a close second, but I prefer to NOT dump all my money at once ;)

-J

[Tsar]

35k thats it? i think thats like an oil change on an enzo:lol:

well if i had to get one i'd get a 03/04 cobra. with left over money i would either buy mods or a bike. depending on how much was left.

[BonzoHansen]

My neighbor has an 03 Mach 1 with the 4 cam motor. The thing really revs & runs.

[GP99GT]

GMC typhoon and a bike.

[misterjuice]

2 Suzuki Aerios............and a Hyundai Elantra GT.

[WildBillyT]

35g will get me a used CTS-V.

I'd just dump it into the two I own. :)


Same, but for me it's only the 1.

[BigAls87Z28]

I had to drive it around daily, 2006 GTO in red with red interior.

And 35k pocket change? There are a lot of cars you can get for at or under that price.

[enRo]

:lol: Buy a 67 Shelby GT500 shell, slap some wheels on it, and roll down a hill w00000000

Nah but seriously, a used black on black 2dr G35 with black rims + polished lip, with 2.5% limo tint all the way around.

Good thing I already know this guy who owns one... Makes life sweeeeeter!

[BonzoHansen]

i would get 2 69 camaros with 396's and 5 g's to put in my 80 camaro2 For $47k? Good luck if the 69s are in even half decent shape. You'd be lucky to get one in good driver shape.

[Savage_Messiah]

i would dump that 35 k into my car (and still have a ****load left over)

[GP99GT]

i would dump that 35 k into my car (and still have a ****load left over)


how would you have money left over if you dumped all 35k into the car? :lol:

[Savage_Messiah]

it wouldnt take that much for all I want to do ya damn n00bball

[slasherbarb]

well if i find a Skyline in the US then i would get that...

if not, then i would spend it on my car (probably about $15gs), then get a nice used Blazer Xtreme and hook that up a little...

[GP99GT]

it wouldnt take that much for all I want to do ya damn n00bball

well you said youd dump 35k in...and you only have 35k to spend...meaning thats all of it, meaning youd have none leftover

[Savage_Messiah]

:stfu:

[1977transam]

i already have the car I wanted. My 77

[V]

with 47k, i'd buy an off-lease aveo, and put the rest down on a house in PA

[Savage_Messiah]

aveo with the tweeting bird alarm, I assume? :lol:

[jola]

With 35g's, if I didn't have to worry about a daily driver, then I'd get a used Viper (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-Viper-R-T-10-94-Viper-CONVERTIBLE-Black-w-Gray-int-CONVERTIBLE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6209QQihZ01 8QQitemZ280021013400QQrdZ1). If I needed something more practical, then I'd probably get a Wrangler or an LS1, SOM Camaro SS. With either of those, I'd buy both or one and a motorcycle.

[BlackBADaSS02]

I'd put that 35k towards my car. Heads, cam, s/c, 12 bolt, then get a new busa.

[12secondv6]

A fleet of dodge neons!

[OneFast383]

with 47 k Id buy this car http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314137 and this bike http://www.suzukicycles.com/Products/GSX1300RZK6/Default.aspx a 12 bolt, a trans brake, some pro stars , and a car trailer, and a beater truck to pull the cars and trailer! damn u can get some good stuff for 47k

[WayFast84]

[ChickenLittle]

35 ain't enough, so I would do a 427TT and get all of my car's issues fixed, if I hadn't done so already

[angin52]

[Ian]

Ferrari Formula 1 car. I'd only drive when I could save up enough money for a tank of gas and new tires. so once every year I would be able to drive :lol: the rest of the time I'd walk or ride a bike.

[BonzoHansen]

[88BluBird]

Um. most people back in the 20s and 30s with the rat rods didnt necissarly want them to be flatblack. Its just that they needed to throw a paint on to stop it from rusting. Most wanted nice paintjobs but coulnt afford it at the time and got it later. Its just that flatblack was pinned on it as cool.
Pinstripes are the same thing. After it was black, they wanted to spice it up so they striped it.

[BigAls87Z28]

Ahhh yes, the Mule!! I had eye-sex with it at Power Tour. Such a beautiful machine.

[Rich189]

any amount of money id have to go for a ferrari.... f 50 or f430

35 or 47k id definatly drop about 10-20g into my ws6 sell my truck and buy a 2007 silverado 3500 duramax

Right, but that is why that is 'the look' that is carried on today. Primer w/dull celar coats now. With flames and whitewalls :) And it was really 50s-60s (even late 40s, post WWII), not 20s-30s for the whole rodding thing.

http://www.fastcoolcars.com/images/ford4/1929ford.jpg

Rodders really can do neat, innovative stuff, they have less preceived boundries. You can get so many cool little (and big) ideas from them. They even jumped on EFI well before muscle car guys, just the way the jumped ont he flathead Ford, and then dumped that for the SBC.

That rod needs to be chopped :D


I never new that they realy did that back then, I always thought the whole "rat" rod was started by a few guys that were sick of 10 grand paint jobs on hot rods..

I was watching either american hot rod or automaniac when they talked about it..

theirs a family of car guys by my work that have cars in their back yard their gonna restore, restored gmc verisons of the elcamino in the front, a blue firebird vert and a hot rod their workin on now.

When our boys got back from WWII the price of new cars was very high, so they would buy older cars and modify them- the birth of hot rodding. Paint was a "nice to have" compared to a car that ran. The whole "Rat Rod" thing happening now is like a day 2 resto, you go with color schemes, parts, and such that are period correct. Some Rat Rod clubs won't even allow ANY nonwearable parts on their cars that was created after the car's build year.

I would like to get back my white 1967 Z/28!

[BonzoHansen]

I would like to get back my white 1967 Z/28!
Considering they only made 602 or something, if it was a real Z, I'd want it back real f-ing bad.

Was it a real z????

[slasherbarb]

Why not just get one of those Z-Tune models :drool:because i would love to see the looks on their faces when mine smoke them:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[35thls1ss19]

I want a 67-69 ss.. hugger orange with white stripes and either an ls1 or an ls2 under the hood. No stock ofcourse... H/C, forged and a blower. My dream car :) One day as soon as i find a nice none rusted body

[ar0ck]

Yeah defenitly still sold on a Cadillac CTS-V K.spec by Katech Engine Development...

[Ian]

actually, I changed my mind. I want Kurt Urban's Nova. :drool: x forever!

[jin1481]

should be enough to create the iroc-z06 with the ls7, m6 tranny, suspension, rear. sleeper of doom...

[bad64chevelle]

47k could get me:

Dad's Challenger, a spare 440, decent suspension, tires, cage, and 10s. But now I need a tow vehicle so that pays off my truck, lifts it, set of wheels/tires, Rebuilt 360+trans, money to race and some lunch.

[Koll]

60s was the muscle car era.

The mid to late 50s were the crusing/hot rod scene. (With the 57 chevys, tbirds, buicks, etc)

The 40s were the big car era (Packards, Studebakers, etc)

The 20s and 30s were the "rat rod, gasser" era. They had the 27 fords, the Tbuckets, 5 Window Coupes, etc.

So, uh. Yeah.

Unless you are talking about WHEN people were rodding them, rather that what era car they were. The 60s wernt really that big as the guys comming back had the cash to get muscle cars.Id say it was more of a 30s and 40s thing.

[Ian]

the rat rod scene went from the 40's-the early 60's. in the 30's the cars were still new, no need to paint them with primer.

[BonzoHansen]

Unless you are talking about WHEN people were rodding them, rather that what era car they were.Um, yeah, that's what anyone else would say. It's not the age of the car, it's when the movement was happening. It started int he late 40s when the guys got home from WWII. They used the older cars because they were plentiful & relatively cheap. Rat Rods did not exist pre-WWII, regardless of what they were made from.
