    Since I regularly clog up other threads with my excitement over cool cars and news of automotive awesomeness I figured I'd start a thread to put all this stuff. I love seeing unique builds of any kind so be sure to share them as you find them in the toobs :D

    If you find something you think is pretty rad, post it in here. Can be a piece of news, photo, video, or just BS.

    I'll kick it off with some great photos of recent. I frequent Speedhunters.com so likely going to see a fair amount of photos from there in here...

    And this Stingray...

    And since i'm a fan of hot hatches, here's some fun news of late!

    Some old video I found of dads evo at Road America from 2011. This was with the over-geared transmission. Now the car has taller final drive and 5th gear (not stock mr 6speed) runs up past 165 at 7k.

    The car is an 06 evo 9mr, fully caged, JRZ 2 way susp, 14"rotors up front with full ducting, dry sump 2.3 stroker motor pushing 530 mustang dyno hp at the time of this video (now 630 at the wheels on a dynojet), and hoosier stickies to name the big ones.

    She is currently for sale as dad is moving on... :pout:
    Someday i'll get back on the track. For now i've just got great memories :)

    Can't say I expected anything else from you Ben :D you're nostalgic. I was expecting the f50GT...

    No realistic cars allowed unless your car/vehicle is realistic :D We can do realistic cars next :cool:

    If you actually think about it though, what car would you get the most enjoyment of owning? One:1 for me because of the milestone, the sheer uniqueness of the v8 with 3d printed turbine housings, the cutting edge technology of the software running the car, it's really appealing aesthetically to me, and I love the company as a whole.
