Turned it into a rolling palace on monster rubber.  I couldn't get dates because parents wouldn't let me take there daughters off in it...... sadly no digital pics, 'cuz I was born before driver's licenses LOL

Yeah I might be on the younger side of SHO drivers, only 32 :). But I do have a respect for older cars, always wanted to turn a 4 door Plymouth Satellite into a sleeper :P

As a senior in High School, I rolled with a Camaro that looked just like this except I had Cragars and a 350.  Headers, header mufflers, traction bars and a Holley. 


Have to add this one too!  Shortly after HS.

Still ... a 442!

After my van came my 1968 Charger...as a senior in high school...

Had the same problem as you... got  to 140 in a 55.... the cop didn't want to arrest me... so he made me sign the ticket, but kept the ticket and told me if he would issue it if he ever heard me get stopped on his radio... LOL

Even with all of that crap, the car was still a pig. My girlfriend (now wife) had a stock '05 Focus ZX4 with the 2.0 Duratec at the same time and it would absolutely destroy the '02. I did get a lot of compliments on the looks of the '02 though.

EDIT: I added a couple more pictures from when the car had argent gray EAP wheels, clear markers, and PIAA fogs.

Im also on the younger side of sho owners at 25 =]. My first car i bought i still own. A 1990 nissan 300zx.  It started life as a non turbo auto car and is now a twin turbo 5spd that puts down around 500 horses. It has been taken apart and put back together quite a few times now. Here are a few pictures.

Dang, that Z is freaking sweet.

I'm a youngun too, at 28 years. With I could say some of these awesome classics were my first love!

Had a few tinkerings early on. But the one that I really consider a first love, is my Mazdaspeed 6.





Bought it new in 2006, and sold it late last year, just before I bought the SHO. Missing some things about it, that's for sure. Awesome car.

This is the closest I can come to a classic.

My current project, and truest love-


The truck, not the lady.  XD

The first car that really sparked my interest in performance vehicles was my 1997 (E36) BMW M3 coupe. I bought the car totally stock with 70k miles in 2010 and while it wasn't super fast, 240BHP/240TQ, I was totally blown away by the car's handling. I did a lot of work on the car in my garage (entire cooling system, entire clutch + flywheel, entire suspension) but I kept it 100% stock, since most of the remaining E36 M3s on the streets are now heavily modified. I put about 30k miles on the car before selling it in late 2011 because I needed a larger sedan (the SHO) to haul the family around.

That is a beautiful 6.  I wanted one so bad when they came out.

Nice rides above!
For me, it was my dad's car when it all started. The ultimate sleeper for the time: 1994 and 1997 Cadillac Seville STS. It was ripping off most of the cars 20 years ago with a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds (FWD with a lot of steering!). I was around 18-20 years old and my parents would take the Explorer to go to the cottage house, so during those three years, I was driving the Caddy most of the weekends! I raced it, my father knew it, as long as the gas was at the same level when he came back... It was an untold agreement... We both knew without never talking about it lol
It had the Northstar 32 valves, 300hp! Just for a comparison, the Mustang GT had 225hp at that time.
Here are a few pics that I found on the net, it looked just about the same:
2010 blue wrapped SHO 12.09 at 117.9mph - SOLD
2013 SHO PP 12.08 at 113.83mph...
Alky control, LMS tuned, custom exhaust, LMS catted downpipes, H&R springs, Tstat170, 3bar map, Airaid
