Why not show off our cars while we’re in quarantine? I know a few of us have some awesome cars.

My dads original numbers matching 1974 z28 camaro with 30k original miles.

The race car. 1971 Chevelle with a stroker 383.

My dad is more of a vintage kinda guy
I should have more pics and I should know more about these but
This is a Studebaker that he finally restored after it was sittin in the shed not started for 30-40 years


1925ish Harley it's got a sidecar on it now as well.. He had two frames and maybe half a bike in boxes but when he started trying to restore one he realised it was gonna be a huge job so he bought one kinda close to being restored and he fixed bits and finished it off


We've also got this old Willys Jeep sittin in the shed

My 87 T/A.
Did an ls1/t56 swap, c5 brakes. Custom gauges and a bunch of interior work. Just finished a 2500watt 5 channel audio set up (gotta keep that hair metal cranked... and to drown out the sqeaks and rattles of this fine 80s gm engineering. It actually hardly has any)

Right now Im just about ready to order my 228/232 cam to go along with my long tubes and full dual exhaust that really sucked to tuck under this car.
Also putting on some c5 z06 wheels, lower it a bit and tuck a 4th gen rear under it for a slightly better gear ratio and a better locking rear.
Never had it to the strip before but expect it to be in the 11s.

My toy and road trip car. An 01 S4 with RS4/RS6 hybrid turbos I "built" making about 550+hp on E85. It does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, and runs an 11 second 1/4. I've broken and replaced just about every part of this car in the last 10 years, but the driving experience is all it's own. It's old enough to work on without needing a computer engineering degree, but new enough to not feel like a shit box if that makes sense. It's a never ending project, but 1 trip around the block, and it makes my day. This thing is a missile on the highway..



This is my 70 Chevelle Maliboootah. The cruiser that needs nothing.

I also have a 00 Tundra that I've owned since 01 that I just can't bring myself to sell. And my daily is an overpriced waste of money Ford Raptor.. It was cool for a few weeks.. When I drive it, I wish i'd bought another Tundra.

Thank you, Sir. First couple of gears were on “all of it”, then I ran it out the back on the motor. Here’s a pass after I started getting the progressive dialed in.

Here I’m on the right. You can hear me have to pedal the car because the ramp was too much. That’s a 130 mph trap car I’m running.

I have two BMW 320iS that I am tinkering with. White one is completely stock, except for the stereo.

Red one is a bit of a “Frankencar”, with an M20 that has been stroked, so it is a 2.7L in-line 6, mated to a 4-speed close ratio transmission. QUICK!
