Re: Your First Car

my first "car" was a truck, a '93 GMC extended cab handed down by my dad. technically my first car was a junker '82 Monte Carlo that i gutted and turned into a dirt track super stocker. i tore that car down to the bare frame and built it back up all by myself and was proud as heck when i started winning races with it (i raced at Texana Raceway in Edna, incase anyone knows where that's at). that got to be an expensive hobby so i stopped racing a few years ago, although the car is still sitting in my dad's barn.

i sold the GMC and got an '02 Mustang GT and after paying it off in '07 i did lots of fun stuff with it... forged rotating assembly, ported heads (before Trick Flow came out with heads for the 4.6), custom grind Comp Cams, full exhaust, and about 10 psi of boost via Vortech centrifugal blower (along with a bunch of other supporting upgrades). it put down about 425hp at the rear wheels when it was last on the dyno (in 95 degree Houston summer weather), that was a hell of a fun car to drive but was VERY high maintenance... last summer was the first time i've seen a harmonic balancer come apart. sold it about a year ago and got an '07 Chevy 1500 crew cab and love it.
