  • mikespeed's car for 2006

    What should I use?

    my ideas, seriously input /experience seriously needed/welcome.

    heres why i picked these ideas

    1) Mikespeed likes them, and i think they are good for a) growth of drifting b) marketing c) what i would like to do next year

    2) ls1 power will go in these, and lately i really <3 lsjuan

    3) most the connections ive made/tried to make were with lsjuan crowd

    4) lsjuan > *

    5) i want something that i can go drift, post a video of and muscle car guys will maybe be more open to the wonderful world of drifting, as well as teh ability to take whatever car i use and pioneer some steering/drift freindly parts for it

    any more ideas yall have im seriously open to

    now the lineup

    71ish gto judge / chevelle ss looking drift car. out of all 3 i like the gto judge idea best

    55-57 bel air

    71+ camaro / firebird

    66ish chevelle

    preferably full frame cars for ease of repair post wall stuf*Censored**Censored**Censored*e, but obviously some these cars arent.

    but seriously, help me out here. post pics of cool cars. i want something i can drive, do burnouts/360's and act liek a total *Censored**Censored**Censored* (aka mikespeed behind the wheel) in and have it look right, as well as something that is sorta marketable and would create interest in the muscle car / domestic car community as far as drifting, and take on hotrod power tour later in the year.

    1) suspension will get adressed as will steering angle issues

    2) dont worry about body parts and crap, theres a reason i listed these cars. trust me ive been thinking about this and making phone calls for a while now. i can get body panels i think, i just need to find a frame and stuff that isnt toooooooo rusted.

    3) yes , proper offset and big wheels will be there, as will a lot of aluminum front spoiler and headlight covers

    too lazy to register...

    but if you rock a bel-air, you have to play the fresh prince song as your intro

    why no more el-co?

      I'd definitely go with one of those two F-bodies. That would kick arse.

              My idea

              I would say that a Merker X4TI would be a great option. Shared Chassis with sierra cosworth, and small following in the US= lots of parts availability.

              The forums arn't cooperating

              That, and i think its damn sexy:

                And then there is the Turbo V8 XR4TI....

                  Defenitley thumbs up for a 55-57 Bel Air...Nothing would piss off old men more than to see someone drifting a Tri-Five Chevy being abused like that

                    Of the ones you listed, the 2nd-gen F-body would be my pick.
                    1. It's the lightest.
                    2. Parts are cheap and available.
                    3. It's probaly the cheapest of the bunch to restore and maintain.

                    Other suggestions
                    Monte Carlo, GN, Cutlass, etc.
                    Something different, plentiful aftermarket, and parts interchange with the ElCo.

                    C4: Great handling and power outta the box, and you guys already have one.

                    LS/S-car hybrid: The 240 is a known quantity for drifting, and you want to use the LS1, so why not combine the 2?

                      Ranchero......LOL -- J/K

                      Here's what I think would be cool in the muscle car erra,

                      1: Grand National -- only exception to the "muscle car erra" i referred to above.
                      2: Corvair -- my grandfather put a 440 in the front of one of these in the 70's and its still going today, very fun to drive, and easy to slide!!
                      3: Chevelle -- my favorite muscle car
                      4: Challenger
                      5: Nova
                      6: GTX -- this would be awesome
                      7: 442
                      8: Cougar -- different, but nice

                      But if you wanted something a little newer

                      1: 5.0 stang -- 89ish, dont know whay always like these.
                      2: Firebird -- Bandit 6.6 mang
                      3: Typhoon / Syclone -- talk about fun and different!!

                      But im sure whatever happens will be awesome.

                        A lincoln LS with an LS1 would be TITS.

                        Or a '96 impala SS.

                        maybe a silverado?

                        an old GTO/judge would be cool too.

                        the tri-5 is my favorite idea though... do that!

                            i think a LS would kick major @$$ do it!

                            edit: or even something like a sc400 with a LS1 in it!!! there arnt any proffessional sc300/400's in the states as far as i know and im sure there isnt one with an LS1 anywhere on the planet!
