[Ian]

I don't have a Jeep anymore.

I now own something with an LS1 and a 6 speed :shock:

[WildBillyT]

W0000t!

[Mike]

No heep here

[The_Bishop]

Wait, so if I buy a jeep I can be a mod?

[Jersey Mike]

Wait, so if I buy a jeep I can be a mod?

While there are some exceptions, it would be a step in the right direction :lol:

[LTb1ow]

Did not specify if the new car runs/drives, think you are still good.

What! Did you trade the jeep?

Text me pics and/or call me son.

[sweetbmxrider]

I have a running jeep and a running 4th gen, no mod here :|

It runs and drives great. I'll get pics after I wash it sometime this week.

Obviously you don't meet the standards that mods like stalkernick set forth, I mean you actually attend meets and what not.

[BonzoHansen]

no. I drive by the broken jeeps

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I don't have a jeep...or an f-bod

[Jersey Mike]

I don't have a jeep...or an f-bod

wait, wut?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

wait, wut?

While referred to as mine by the owner and used exclusively by me, it's not mine. It's still here, have no fear.

[Jersey Mike]

Ah, yes, the whole "Daddy's car" silliness. Very well. "Don't care, got Mod?"

[88WS-6]

It runs and drives great. I'll get pics after I wash it sometime this week.

What if you put the LS1 and 6 speed into the jeep?

[Ian]

I no longer have said jeep. Plus that's a lot of work for something that would turn out not so awesome.

[BonzoHansen]

like fail squared

Oodles of work for a slower older uglier srt8 gc

[88WS-6]

But you could have kept the mod status.

[sweetbmxrider]

If you had a proper Jeep, a Wrangler, the word awesome wouldn't be a strong enough adjective.

:mrgreen:

[The_Bishop]

no. I drive by the broken jeeps

But, I had a jeep once.

http://home.comcast.net/~The_Bishop/jeep/jeep3.jpg

BDS 3.5" lift, TJ flares and some cutting, 33" tires, CV driveshaft, exploder 8.8 rear, 4.10 gears, disk brakes all around, upgraded steering box and pump... Hell, a lot of time and money.

I beat this thing mercilessly and it never broke. Sold it to make a down payment on an '06 Power Wagon, which turned out to be a giant pile of fail.

I miss my jeep, should never had sold it.

[sweetbmxrider]

That's a good looking yj :nod:

[The_Bishop]

Not a day goes by that I don't miss it.

You're adopted bro.

[deadtrend1]

I say GTO or Solstace with LS1 conversion

[BonzoHansen]

then he would lose his mod status for sure.

[WildBillyT]

G8.

[Mike]

G8.

It's ls3 not ls1

[WildBillyT]

It's ls3 not ls1

Oh right.

Then 2001-2002 WS6

[Mike]

Oh right.

[WayFast84]

[BonzoHansen]

we had a 6000. bad ass car!!! lol

actually it never gave us any trouble at all. i just threw out the gm service manual for that car this summer.

[88WS-6]

I would have said Miata or RX-7 originally but those aren't Pontiac.

[donnj]

O8 Maloo

[BigAls87Z28]

Corvette. Why bother with anything else?

[88WS-6]

Did Pontiac ever make a Corvette competitor or was that not allowed by GM?

[WildBillyT]

The '64 Banshee. Never made it to production though.

So did we. Ours was a 84 with the STE package. My mother swears it was the best car she ever owned.

I never knew that, Im gonna go google it

That thing looks pretty sweet lol

[Featherburner]

[88WS-6]

I'm sure the 455 Super Duty in the early/mid 70s kicked its ass too.

[WildBillyT]

TTA in the 80's as well.

[RyanDestroysWorlds]

Its really a shame that these cars will never see the road again as newer models, Although if GM stepped onto dodges trail with these, they would probably screw it all up.

[BigAls87Z28]

Cars like late 70's Trans Ams?
Never see the road again?
Stepped on Dodge's trail?

Is this 1983? I'm confused.

[RyanDestroysWorlds]

Yes like the olds 442 and the 70's firebird, like its a shame that they will not be remade (ex. 2010 camaro, 2010 challenger) but im saying what dodge has come out with recently (ex. Charger and Dart) is just terrible.

[Mike]

Charger is cool

70's Firebird? Can we please stop treating this car as if it was some sort of American Ferrari? Just because it had a big cubic inch engine doesn't change the fact that it was a 2 ton car with a 210hp V8.

What's wrong with the Charger? Dart is a toss-up (the new one is a very good car), but the revised Charger is head and shoulders better looking that the last one.

There is no better time to be into cars than right now.

[The_Bishop]

While the rear 3/4 of the charger is nice, I cannot stand that nose. The protruding grill ruins it for me.


Also: While I owned several 2nd gens (all Camaros) I never understood the overwhelming praise. They were heavy, and the stock motor offerings all sucked.

Not if you wanted to go fast! It was a sad time for american cars when the fatest production vehicle in 79 was a pickup truck! I do agree, it's a great time to be in cars but you also have to give credit where due even during a dark time for cars.

Nobody will argue that the 70s cars did virtually nothing well performance wise off of the showroom floor.

But they were what the public wanted. Firebird aside, just in 1979 GM sold more Camaros than GM has sold 5th gens since they hit dealerships- by 50k units. In '78 it was 40k units, and in '77 it was just about the same. 3/4 million Camaros in 3 years. The performance was horrible, the camshafts were pencils, compression ratios were awful, but the buyers were still there for some reason. It is nice to see the 5th gen building some steam as it's a fantastic car. They just need to get it in the hands of the right people.

Performance wise nobody will argue that now is the best time. That's obvious in the huge trend of people doing engine swaps to modern stuff. Same with transmissions.

And FWIW, 1979 Ferraris were **** too. They looked nice but were a far cry from what we have now.

[Mike]

Oh I get it. He can't be a mod because he can't update his own threads

I always racked it up to heavy use of drugs finally taking a toll on the population by the late 70s.

That and Burt Reynolds. And CB radios.


Seriously though, I think the overwhelming ****tiness of the Mustang had a lot to do with it.

[88WS-6]

Saw the car in question yesterday. I told him he had everyone waiting to hear what it was.

Not that this will help, but it has side pipes...

[WildBillyT]

Oh. 2nd Gen T/A with an LS/T56 swap.

[Tru2Chevy]

Not that this will help, but it has side pipes...

Well, it has exhaust that exits out of the side in front of the rear tires, not sidepipes in the traditional sense.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

That clay bar job looks good! Never saw a GTO with that exhaust before.

[Ian]

Thanks. It has a FAST 92mm intake and throttle body, long tubes, a monster clutch, and that spintech side exit exhaust.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

a monster clutch

ruh roh, hopefully it stays working!

[Ian]

Knowing my luck it won't. :lol:

[maroman88]

wow nice! and very unique exhaust

[88WS-6]

Sounds sweet to boot. Very jelly...

[BigAls87Z28]

Looks good brah. Time to upgrade to 05-06 GTO brakes, or better.

I will eventually, I need to do some basic maintenance first.
