My "main" hobby (many pictures included)

Sunday was a nice day at the dragon. Very little traffic in the morning but cruiser herds slowed traffic a bit. 28 was a ghost town. Very nice.

I assume that was ZdayZ? I haven't been to that in 4 or so years back when I had my G35.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to take it up there and play around after seeing those pics. First import I've ever owned! Not counting my '76 280z, that never made it to the road, traded for it sight unseen and it was waaay worse than I was led to believe. Pretty excited, I've built american cars, built compacts, helped with crxs, but I've never actually built an import that I owned! I'm less about 1/4 mile time, and more about playing in the twistys

I have a '67 stang, but having trouble keeping it from over heating right now...

I'm a "bit" of a gear head.

How 'bout some pics. I love the classic muscle cars

[ls3_kid]

I agree, sounds good. Let's see it.

I'm in for a dragon run about any weekend. My dragon slayer is a modified mazdaspeed miata.

Hey...I have one of those too. With some really sticky tires there isn't much around that will touch it on a curvy road. It is one of the most forgiving and easy to drive vehicles made.

Cool! Given the very small production run, it's fairly rare to bump into another local owner.

Miatas are super in the curves, but the MSMs boost and suspensions make the car amazing. This is one of my favorite quotes from a corvette forum discussing their upcoming dragon event.

"Fun time, but if you see the Miata cars, they are incredible. Hard to believe but they will eat you up."

PS: are you coming to the gap in late July?

You've had this at the Mt. Juliet Chick Fil-A cruise in haven't you?

[ls3_kid]

Looks pretty nasty. My favorite year of the Tempest/GTO is 65, 64 is worth the most though or so I hear.

I love Mk IV Supras, is that a 3.0 or a stroker 3.4? Hopefully it isn't a dyno queen, those are the worst.

Thanks for the kind words. It's actually a 3.1L, as honestly, I'm not a fan of the 3.4 stuff due to cost, and the fact that they require alot of hacking of the stock block to make everything fit. The engine is square from the factory, so I wanted to keep it as close to 86.5MM X 86.5MM as possible, as it's the strongest and can rev without the concerns that the 3.4 guys have. This one has a factory crank, but that's it, and larger pistons, with stock-sized aftermarket rods.

Moody's MACHINE is no dyno queen...I've seen it and been passed on the track by it.

Ha, thanks man! I hope to be back out there with you all sooner than later when I have the car finished.

hello SF brother Moody.

Hey! I hope that Dale's old car is treating you well. Finished yet?

Wow! That is gorgeous (and has the balls to back it up, too!)

Thanks! It does, as I stuck to the 3 important C's when putting this together. Cam, compression and converter!

Proud C5Z06 owner here, oh and I still have what used to be a turbo 03 Cavalier.
