Next Project Car...?
 
Alright so here is the scoop. My father and I have finished up his 1967 Morgan and are now looking around for ANOTHER project :wiggle: So far the choices seem to be some sort of Factory 5 kit or a 930 Turbo. As usual I would like the general TST opinion on the matter :-p :banana:

I really want to do a factory 5 car sometime in the near future. I would say go for that, it would be a lot of fun. Building a car up from the ground like that is a great experience.

930 turbo...only because I want to do a Factory 5 kit..

I was thinking of the GTM Factory 5

go for the factory 5 then, lol. Their kits, all of them, are killer! I was thinking of building their track cobra kit.

Everyone do the factory five challenge race car and then we can all go to track days and race. It'll be a lot more fun. I mean what fun is a car that you finish and then never have to do anything to and drive on the weekend. Cars were meant to be broken and crashed and then fixed and then repeat.

no shiat. I've seen people w/ the factory 5 cobras, and through talking to them learn that they had the car trailered to the show..they only drive it on weekends, etc...

dude...its got an 80's 5.0 engine in it, its a kit! Drive the ****ing thing

Twin Hayabusa powered Tiger... http://www.tigerracing.com/
hah yeah right. But it would be cool.

A Factory Five kit would be reallly fun though, I've always liked them and they get PLENTY of attention from both car and non-car people.

Super 7!!!

driftingeric2k4 08-30-2006 11:50 AM

I'd do a Factory5 kit. Those things rule. Way more fun than a 930 hands down.

james_ls 08-30-2006 12:21 PM

930...make it sick McNasty...

spoolinLSsol 08-30-2006 02:36 PM

930 is super pimp

Yellow_S4 08-30-2006 03:42 PM

yeah my dad is leaning 930

or a Spyder GT:

Or you could buy my 89 Mazda Rx7 White convertable with a blown rotary and put a 383 or caddy 455 in it and blow the pants off any car in this forum for under 10k.

Its up to you though lol.

PM me if interested.

Yellow_S4 08-31-2006 09:25 AM

Nah Rx7 is not my thing...after talking with my father (btw he’s footing most of the bill on this one) looks like we are after a 930 turbo. Those puppies can put out over 450 bhp reliably and only weigh 2800 lbs. Not to mention after all is said and done you have a Porsche 911 Turbo which means legendary handling and racing heritage. With the factory 5 stuff when all is said and done you have a kit with not much value....though building a kit would be awesome :afro:

HatchSurfer3 08-31-2006 10:00 AM

Ive decided im gonna build a type 65 when i get out of school and have my own place with a garage

goodluck with the 930 and definitely keep us updated
