NICE, Irv! I like it and can't wait to see this one done. Nice drivin. How old are your brothers? I wish I could have something like that.

You don't realize how much I would love that! Hey, I don't care, I'll take that as a compliment, Kyle Busch is my man, he is DRIVING the car!

I would love them, but too much? Nice! Cortina motors are awsome! and yes, not exclusively the US.

Hey, nothing wrong with that and by the way your playing with it now, it's looking great!!

Acutally, not only NASCAR drivers, but drivers from the racing series......pit them in one of these, see how good and if they can really drive. and does it not look like a Peugeot 405? how many people know left foot braking, heel toe, and flat shifting?

just like Group B.

why, I know another forum where the thread reaches 94 pages and over 1400 replies I try to keep it organized as welll as I can. I don't think we need two to confuse. Nobody contacted me on this!!

nice Mustang and I agree with you on the other racing series, LOVE THEM, and on NASA I love their racing and the Iron calss is good stuff, proving even more muscle cars can turn! Oh and Panoz is still in the game in ALMS in the GT2 class. Yes, there was some alterations teams did, but it wasn't as point your finger and so anal about things as we are today. Rules are so controlling, you can't do anything. It isn't driver anymore. As I heard from a British car show, they went to drive a NANSCAR car and he even said it and so do I, the NANSCAR cars are all the same, the body's are the same considering they use the same body molding, just maybe a slight altercation of the nose for the Charger but no more with the Avenger, they use the same moldings and the only difference is the engine, it is Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, which even then the parts are made the same so there is no cheating. We need more manufacturs and with the cars being pretty much the same, name one stock part on the car? Now as you mentioned above about you seeing some of the best racing on TV, from my favorite racing series, you notice you don't hear that much from NANSCAR or really any American mtor racing. I love Baja as that is back to what racing was, and back to the roots and drivers DRIVE. But ALMS and the LeMans series are real, they have manufacturs competing against each other, like it should be and like it was. They have drivers that drive and compete against each other, rally drivers are the impitomy of it all, they drive cars 120 mph by trees no more than a foot away and they make a wrong move, they are dead, even today's rally cars and rally competition, talk about roots racing, real, raw, and pride. Always was and always will. People say, ohh, you should try to race a car for 4 hours close to a wall and other drivers and survive uhhhh yeeaah, ever hear about the 24 Hours of LeMans you have to race and survive for 24 hours running upwards of 200MPH and having to stay awake. Rally, you have to navigate through a road that is just wide enough for your car and have to listen to your navigator and focus on driving and not killing each other and the reasons I stated above. Back in the 80's rally cars had no traction control, launch control, stability control, weighed less 1200 kg, and had 350 to some cars had over 600hp, yeah your right, that isn't racing......talent much? don't get me wrong, I LOVE drag racing, as I love Pro Mods, Super Stock, Gassers, AWBs, and even Pro Stock, but even that is getting restricted too. You can't do the stuff you said anymore! And the cars, these engines are amazing, but I see NO resemblence of a Mustang or Charger or whatever "cars" they use, at least the ones from the 60's and 70's LOOKED like the actual car a bit. To me, the Funny cars and Top Fuel are boring to me, to see them in real life and the sound and power is phenominal but three seconds and your done is nothing to me, the 6 second passes are better and seems it takes more skill: shifting, throttle, off the line, chute, etc. Once again, nothing like what it used to be. Instead of worrying about investment worry about what the sport is called, MOTOR RACING, not sponser racing..not company racing...no..AUTO RACING, the cars and drivers. I guess what I'm getting back is why can't we have competition between manufacturs, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Buick, Pontiac, Nissan, build a car to compete against in NANSCAR that is ACTUALLY based on a Ford, prove yourself, Nissan and GMC in Crafstman truck, heck even they look like the actual truck a bit. Why can't we make a Funny car that is like they did in the 60's and 70's? Heck even Pro Stock. If safety is a big problem today nowadays how come they survived back then with out all the restricting gear and other in car stuff. Get a helmet, suit and gloves and thats it! I do agree with the safety precautions as the main deaths in auto racing was back in the real and raw days of racing as we can keep more drivers safe and race more but why does that have to be so tied in with rules?

ahhhh you are correct! since my four door got named try this,

Well, it is in a way, but the way I see it is is how he DROVE, beating and banging into other drivers, sometimes spinning them out just to get by, things like that.

Yes, it is Friday Well, I'm surprised it fooled some people! It ain't a moodel. Yes, George good observation!

haha I knew this instantly, I had the picture already saved to my computer and with these types of cars, your gonna have to really try hard.

Agree with ya and good choice in racing series but about the rally and stuff, yes, they changed, but they still go 120 MPH 6 inches away from trees and close to falling off cliffs and the drivers know how to DRIVE and got balls, if not...oh I don't know, they screw up and might die! why do big sponserships have to steal the fun!

4 cylinder? NICE!

Are you sure about that! I know one thing, I know my W block engines and Cadillac and Buick engines and Ford 289s......apparently

WOOOW...........I LOVE IT!!This is the coolest thing I seen lately. I love this style and it is hard to please me when it comes to certain things in cars, I bet this old dog even HANDLES!! Eat your heart out anti turning muscle car guys!

ahhh it is refreshing to see one of automobiles real cars. I love the style, the name, and this is just too cool! I love it, very well built and very very nice. They sound purty, that's for sure this was practically the same car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF-YbBQr4E8...feature=related another show SPEED dropped

ahh Joe, nice video of one of my heros!

no not USELESS!!!

I agree with Harry but I saw Dale Jr get wrecked and what did he say about it...."That's racin'"......

no, that was for another car, the Toyota Cressida. it was on pinks.

and that is why I love those classes and the SCCA! well, I didn't mean it like that, they emphasize it now though and your right on that last part, I agree.

DANGIT!!! your right on everything round two,

Well, I wasn't sure!!!! Lime Rock now this!!

I got to thinkin lately after watching some of the racing highlights and the SPEED Report telling about different cheating or penalties man it makes me sad...at least to me........these movies I SWEAR by. I love the music and the footage and the all out racing, I wish I was born in the REAL driving and REAL cars era WHAT HAPPENED? We still ahve some real racing series, but none really are true, raw, and pure motorsports I wanna cry... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcKO_uGJfqc...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dogeDQJ6r6I...feature=related
