Daily sports car?

Acura was stolen two years in. Blew a rod in it, just under warranty. So, yeah, I would have driven the hell out of the stealth.

Replacement Acura was way more cash, as in $8,000 more at the time, so we ended up with a Subaru Legacy turbo that lasted for ten years after, right until the point where the oldest was getting too big to sit between the car seats.
Found out that you can get an awd stuck, when you lift all four tires off the ground.

Then chevy minivan. :( Then honda minivan :)

I love our Honda Minivan, but I'd really love a Stealth R/T or Mits 3000GT VR4!
 
My ancient Cadillac (LSV powered 6 speed) is a sleeper. Nothing more fun for an old bald old guy than smoking kids with tuner stickers all over their expensive ‘fast cars’.

Did you take the V-badges off or are tuner kids just dumb? I saw a mean sounding V on the may home from VRRA. Sounded like it had straight pipes. Not my favorite sounding car, but the best sounding cadillac by far.

I'm still waffling on whether to turn the screws on the daily driver. ~$4K doubles the power and makes it quite fun and still reliable. It is money lit on fire though. You never get any of it back. Also requires a switch to premium. But on the other hand. weeeee.

There's one in Bowmanville. He's got a ton of $$$ spent on it. It's blown and in the 500-600hp range IIRC.

Mine is 08. I bought it used, tiny badges on the fenders, that’s it.

Not as fast as an FJR, but faster than most cars on the road.

Mine is bone stock, factory blown 550hp with a Tremtec 6 - it’s stupid. I laugh at fartcan Subaroo WRXs.

I always found the Dodge was a little strange looking, esp the rear end and that wing. I always favoured its mechanical twin the Mitsubishi 3000GT as a sleeker package.

Back in 1997 my uncle flew from Poland and bought 2 cash down in Buffalo. Green for him and red for his brother.

Eastern block moustached man at the airport with a week worth of clothes….and 70k in USD cash. LoL. That was fun at Pearson.

They shipped both cars to Germany, and due to Eastern Bloc ******** one is still registered in the US. They ran great for years and years with no issues. Over time the cars got older and the younger generation didn’t want them so they sold them.

Youngest son has a newer Vette and wanted the 3000GT for nostalgias sake. Found it because there’s like a handful in Poland, and the current owner basically rebuilt the car back to stock condition. The money he wanted was insane so cousin dropped the idea.

Really cool cars and high tech for the year. Would love a clean example now.

Saw this in Killbride just yesterday. Was hard to see but the mileage was either 38k or 88k.

Remortgage and make it happen? IMG_20210827_172112.jpgIMG_20210827_172127.jpg
