I was just going through my HD with a couple thousand pics and thought I would share a few!

As title states, these are some pics of my past and present toys. Not all Fords maybe, but almost all (except the RS4) have been the best the US has to offer!


Lets start from the beginning, this is my first performance car I bought. Picked it up in Detroit when I was living in PA from a guy who worked at Dodge's SRT devision. I guess they didn't want him driving a competitor ;)

I built it mainly as a road course car, but it was my daily driver for a while and I put 40K on it in 2 years


1999 Mustang SVT Cobra

Mod list:
BBK Long Tubes
Mac mid
Flowmaster cat-back
K&N Intake

Suspension mods:
Maximum Motorsports Coil-over kit
Maximum Motorsports SFC
Maximum Motorsports STB
Maximum Motorsports C/C plates
Various bushings and brake upgrades

After I the cobra I totally fell in love with the new S197 (back in 05) but I couldn't afford it yet, so I went and picked up another daily driver for 6 months while I was saving up.

2004 Pontiac GTO - Bone stock except a tune and cheap winter wheels. Had this baby up to 175mph down in Germany, smooth as butter but sooooo boring to look at.

Finally sold the GTO, and I picked up my dream car! I bought it from a guy here on SVTP actually and had it shipped over to Sweden along with a whole lot of go fast parts. I had plans to drive this at the road course quite a bit, so I spent more time and money in the suspension then power.


2006 Mustang GT

Modlist:
C&L Intake
FRPP Shorty Headers
Bassani Cat-back

Suspension mods:
Tokico D-specs
FRPP springs

After selling the Mustang, I wanted to try something different. And you can't get more different and politically incorrect (at least in Sweden) then this baby! I bought her in NY, and had her shipped over with even more go fast parts :) And believe it or not, I actually road raced this monster! Loved this truck so much, but not the fuel mileage. In Sweden we were paying about 10USD per gallon, which means about 220USD for a full tank that would last 2 days...

Modlist:
AR Long Tube Headers
O/R mid
Magnaflow Cat-back
ROE TB
K&N Intake

Suspension:

While I still had the SRT-10, I got an opportunity to pick up a new car that I just couldn't resist. This one was, and is, to be my main track car. As we speak it is on it's way here to Miami to get a new built N/A motor, full cage etc etc.

During this time I was lucky to meet a girl with equally large passion for fast cars and racing. We actually met at the racetrack! She has been an Audi freak for ever, so this is her baby

I love your vette. I wanted that color of a Z06 extremely bad, instead I have the boring silver color. And now after seeing your car, I now have second thoughts of selling it. Also the C6 brakes and wheels fit your car nicely!!!

Thanks guys for all the comments! I have always tried to build as "clean" and drivable cars as possible, and drive them I do. On average probably about 25k miles per year with each :) And that includes a whole lot of track days


Very nice! Especially the Swedish Prize ya got there!


Yup, she is my prize possession :beer:


nice cars..

Is this thread for everyone to post your past/present toyS?


Be me guest!


jesus your life is awesome.

Lol not always, but I try to make the best of it. Who knows how long one has on this earth so I try to do as much as possible when I can. At least now before kids and all.

The Vette and Camaro, and my wife still has the RS4 but it is for sale over in Sweden.

Nope, I just have had the opportunity to work in many different countries. My father was Swedish, and my mom is Irish I am born and raised in PA.

Thanks, I like her :beer:

This color IRL is amazing. But it is real prone to swirls and such like a black. But besides that it is perfect. The C6 wheels were a must to fit the brakes. But the are the so called Z07 wheels, 11x19 and 9.5x18 front. Not as wide as Z06 rims, but wider then C6 rims.

I kinda agree with you. It's like comparing a sledgehammer to one of those tiny screw drivers that you use to fix sun glasses. One is a precision tool (Audi) and one just gives you one hell of smack in the ass ;)

And most often that little screw driver will cost more then the Sledgehammer haha
