The Official 'cool cars that you like n stuff" Thread

[The Fresh Prince]

I know the Phillippine's just got hit with one, prayers to them and all, but the 1992-93 GMC Typhoon.

And the 1991-1997 Dodge Stealth R/T TT.

I'm going to own one of these again someday. Smooth, smooth ride, shotgun windows, and a trunk so big you could lay in it sideways or long. The 428 had about 425 hp stock, and easily 450 adding nothing more than an Edlebrock 750. You ever spun tires on a stock 4051 lb car? Throw a roots on this bitch and it's probably a sub-12 second car with no suspension, exhaust, nothin.

Do they come in colors other than baby squirt yellow?

Funnest car I ever owned, hands down. More fun than my vette, even more fun than my Prius if you can imagine that! Rebuilt it during high school, drove it for 5 glorious years pre- and post-mission. Loved it. Sold it for a family car (1991 Ford Escort), and have regretted selling it ever since. Now I will spend the weekend going through old pictures to try to find a pic of mine. It was redder than this, a deep blood red.

Some of you guys probably need to go give your wife a big smooch and thank her for never allowing your taste of cars to be brought into the marriage or seen anywhere near your homes.

I could light up the tires in all 4 gears in my 240. It weighed practically nothing and my uncle, who knew his ****, helped with the engine rebuild so we tweaked it to get more horsies than stock. Way more. It was nearly undriveable in the snow, but that didn't stop a 17-year-old from trying. I never officially timed it or anything, but in Ogden at the time (mid-80's) there was a stretch of I-15 between like 30th and 21st street that was about exactly 1/4 mile and no one I met could beat me over that stretch, including several guys in Mustangs, a couple of GTOs, camaros, and even a porsche 944 that belonged to the dad of a kid from my high school. That car was a blast. I eventually put in dual 12" woofers and a serious pioneer system (at the time the pinnacle of automotive tunes) with, get this, an in-dash CD player/tape deck combo and a dozen speakers. Let that mullet fly!!!!!


[edit: the spot was the one straight stretch between 31st and 24th, and then there was a mile stretch between 21st and 12th. Quick on and off.]

She would love one of these.
