Pretty much have my car "completed" as I want it: aluminator, supercharger, converter, exhaust, suspension, wheels, stereo, etc. I've put a few hundred miles on it and now I'm kind of "over it". Do the rest of you guys get that way?

I was that way with the last 3 or so cars I've owned. Get them just how I wanted, then meh, time for a new one. Luckily with this current car the goalposts continually move further and further out so I don't get bored with it. Always something else to be done, another hurdle to make.

How much power?

750 on Daniels stingy mustang dyno. I told him to stop there as I don't feel like working on it anymore... I did a return fuel system and 8 rib so I can turn it up if I want to. It's not that I am bored with the power just eyeing different hobbies.

It's because what you are Ultimately searching for is not part of the physical 3D world your in... Let that simmer for a while. :)

You notice how most cars for sale only have x amount of miles put on the final build....seem to be a common thing for people to build something how they want it then sell it right afterwards.

You looking at a different hobby like no more cars? I just discovered standing mile racing, like Texas Mile, and Mojave mile, so that has by attention at the moment. Kind of exciting, something new to work towards. Maybe find a reason to build that fast car?

I would still have my fox coupe. Currently I'm interested in getting back to racing RZR's. That usually leads me back to road racing cars which I get tired of working on and want a fast street car again, you know like I have now.

simple answer, your passion is not driving fast cars...its the thrill of building a fast car. get another hobby , I suggest renovating homes if you want to make money or playing something like Warcraft if you want to waste your talent in a endless black hole.

Im open to you build my car now :p. If you said you reached your goal why not set a new one because I did the same thing with my 3v sold it right after i put the supercharger on it. I regret that everyday, but live and learn I guess.

No i cant say i feel that way, every time i jump in my car its a thrill, it feels like an extension of me rolling down the road. Wintertime is the tough time because i don't get to drive it that much. One of my passions is driving a performance car. I get no thrill building them. When i cant drive i turn to my online pc racing simulators to satisfy the need for speed. They are really detailed and the realism is impeccable! My car is exactly the way i want it all modded out, with no plans to mod further at this point. Op you should start a business and build cars for a living!

This is exactly why im trying to pace myself with what mods I do. I dont have plans to supercharge my car or anything. Its mostly visual/suspension stuff I want to do.

Don't feel that way car isn't done yet either... But I don't think I will because I love driving it and want to get the most out of my money since I know will lose if I sell it. Plus I want to do standing mile and other events which will probably make me go turbo...
