I love the gt4 as well, just hard to get unless you want to do a conversion, and I don't have that kind of skill time or money.

I like WRX but I have a Volvo S70 AWD Turbo not the T5 though!! It is still fast!! I can go fro 40mph to 100 in the matter of moments!! It also has a bottem less gas pedal!Had her up to around 120 and that was fast enough for me but the car had a lot more power but drivin skills did not!!!!!
One high toned son of a bitch.......
one more high toned son of a bitch.
just decided what my next project will be, gonna find myself a desert dry '66 Toronado somewhere between Vegas, AZ & CA and do a complete restoration including a high hp crate motor for it. Nice thing is that these cars all came standard w/4 wheel disc brakes so the hardware & plumbing is there for stainless steel upgrades, go fast stop fast.
It shared a lot of body lines w/the '66 Buick Riviera which was its nearest competition for looks and similar performance in the day, of course the Toronado was always front wheel drive while Buick only started building fwd Riv's from '79 on. Toronado's were the cream of the crop.
Jay Lenos '66 has a 1070hp 425ci twin turbo motor in it, just mad.
I remember the day my friend Doug's father came home w/his brand new '66 Toronado in Tropic Turquoise like pic #2, this guy was the envy of the neighborhood. For starters he was an artist (painter) and a family man and yet this car just screamed playboy, my dad always drove a Caddy ragtop but I recall him going on & on about what a sweet ride that Toronado was. Doug wrapped that sumbitch around a utility pole 3 days after he got his license to drive, he was the joke of the day for quite some time.
btw, I wound up selling my '72 Cougar after finishing it in black instead of white, I tried CraigsList but got nothing but scammers w/the exception of one guy so fat he couldn't even test drive it because his belly was busy gobbling up the steering wheel, looked like some sort of weird Pac-Man shit, I'm a fat sob myself but had no issues there.......

Muscle cars all the way but that don't mean we can't borrow from tuners, I love fuel injection. In fact my project car is in the middle of a carb to efi conversion. The car is a 1984 ford t-bird fila edition I converted from 5.0 aod to 351w t-5. If anyone is considering a old fox body efi conversion don't forget that the dash harness will need changing too, I still havent took my dash apart as the last time I took one apart it was a 77 mustang and the thing just crumbled at the slightest touch.
As Carol Shelby once said horsepower sells cars torque wins races.

Sweet Jesus... This is epic.
Here's some older pics of my ride a couple years back when I was still running the stock turbo. Since then I have done quite a few engine upgrades and the engine bay is much, much cleaner. I'd snap a current engine bay pic but I'm in the middle of a Borg Warner turbo install.
Tuner or muscle? My philosophy is, have a bank account and garage large enough for both. Not there yet but I have owned plenty of fun cars of all types. Some of the most fun I had was in a Isuzu I-Mark (a shitbox w/ 1.6L diesel.) I love big blocks just as much as turbo 4 cylinders. My dream car is a 66 Chevelle, or 69-70 Mustang fastback.
Thought I would rep some German muscle.
This car is sexy.
