Do you think my tripple stage cascade will fit in it? Through the doors or does it have hatchback or trunk?
Does the seats fold down?
I called to get specifics and got an genius who could only tell me 12.3 cubic feet.
Make it fit? I plan on hauling ass to Frisco and I am not dicking around.
Will it fit?

That picture is belying... I honestly don't think it will Charles. Maybe through trunk if back seats can fold over. Than I would worry about height clearance between the trunk and seat area...

Don't think it'll fit either.
And even if it did fit, I would never take any risks on "damaging" a brand new Shelby GT-H :D

Its a rental... I should have mentioned that.
I may have to drive down and measure, hoped someone had something close.
Is it a hatchback or trunk lid?

The GT-H's are sweet....but I'd be surprised if that cascade fit. :(
Hmmmm, Hertz does treat their GT-H customers with priority I've heard....maybe you can give them a ring and see if they know or have one on site they could measure?

"Fugger calls Hertz"
-Hello sir, I'm willing to rent a 2007 Shelby GT-H, and I would like to know if my cascade would fit in.
"Hertz guy"
-Your what ?
"Fugger"
-My cascade sir...ah..nevermind, it's a thing made of spare parts from a big fridge [ lol ]
"Hertz guy"
- tut tut tut [ line dropped :D ]

Roof rack,120 MPH should add a few degees of sub-cooling.:D
FUGGER
12-12-2006, 09:47 PM
I will try again, the first guy wouldnt, he didnt have any answers other than one was available for reservation and sq ft storage. At this airport they have a wide selection to choose from so it may be something else.

Hiya Fugger The GT-H is a sweet car in deed. But I know Ford has not produced a hatchback model since 93. That was the old Fox body after that the mustang was just a 2 door and trunk called the SN95 same old fox body new skin and no hatchback. I have a 2001 mustang GT myself. I know its the older body style but still alittle the same. I know the new Mustang on a different platform but the prinicples are the same. If the trunk is anything like mine. No way In hell you going to get that threw the trunk. Only way i see it fitting is if the rear sits fold down. Which they should and sliding your cascade threw the front doors to the back mit want a friend there to help as that thing looks big.
BTW dude you talking about a sports car nothing big in them but the engine clutch if stick and the rear tires lol :)

I drive a WS6 now, my Chevelle SS396 will be ready soon ;)
I dont want to drive anything less in performance for that distance.
FUGGER

Heh, roof rack. Reggie was talking about one of those conveniance packages where they add a carrier to the bumper for wheel chair or electric chair thing.

QQ WS6 and SS396 damn very nice bro!! HAHA why a ford since it looks like you blinging a TA and a chevelle you keep the 396 or go with a different BB? Sorry that was off subject. GL with the Stang

How heavy is it ? Is shipping a possibility?
jinu117
12-12-2006, 10:11 PM
Shipping would potentially kill the thing as well as extremely costly not to mention no idea if it will get delivered in time. Think that thing probably weights a little over 200 lbs...
FUGGER
12-12-2006, 10:13 PM
I wanted to check it out, I get a discounted rate so its about between midsize and luxury.
Shipping this is out of the question, it would get hurt.

Nah she aint gonna fit but being logical and all with a car like that your borrowing will you really want to stop and play with the pc? Nope..unless that thing is auto as to manual and you can have some real fun in the desert!

Just go the airport and hop on a cargo plane :). Worked well for me once when I had heavy/fragile cargo to take. The getting back is the problem, but you can always just rent the car for the ride home.

Are you taking this to Northern California, Charles? Maybe just rent a small trailer as well. U-Haul has a sports trailer. Might go well with the Mustang.:)

Yeah i was gonnna suggest the trailer too. No way you are getting that beast in unless you pull the passenger seat out directly and put it side-to-side on the back seat. I know you're not a 6'6" guy, so the seat being a bit forward shouldn't be a big deal, but by now you coulda gone to the local ford dealership(where i would have called, and not Hertz:fact:) and got the proper answer! :D
Levish
12-13-2006, 12:38 PM
+1 for trailer, and no it's not a hatchback
I'd feel better going fast if it was in a minivan/small cargo van tied down properly
Brettbeck
12-13-2006, 12:57 PM
I doubt it would fit either...
How come you want to take it that far anyway? Maybe you could take a smaller cascade?
FUGGER
12-13-2006, 01:34 PM
It fits :D
WS6 kicks the Shelby's ass, loose rear end traction off the line and acceleration.

Charles you should have just crated your cascade up and shipped it.. You wouldnt have any worries right now.. There is no way in hell your going to fit that monster in that little car. NO WAY... Hell if its a rental make sure you have insurance and strap it to the roof.. I know your Cali trips at 110+mph wont be the same but at least you'll get it there:)

12-13-2006, 10:19 PM
haha Fugger, I like your style. As a contrast, I managed to go 3000+ miles across the country with my cascade in a 115hp corolla =] Don't know how it made it...Brilliant cascade btw.

Here are pics confirming that yes, it did indeed fit into this insanely fast car. I am sitting next to FUGGER and we're doing 110mph as I type this post::toast:

LoL...in the side door, as i thought. you guys musta been straining to wedge it in there! heh.
Fugger is the shorter one. As you can see, he's got the brains, and hired some muscle:lol2:
jinu117
12-14-2006, 02:49 PM
I think that one is one of the office employee... (looks like someone gained bit of weight... I could be wrong though)
Fugger you can look into this.
http://www.dodge.com/charger/home_static.html
the srt8 has 425 hp will have alot more room and be almost as fast.
being a rx8 owner mustangs don't really work for me because of their crap suspension they are great though just not for me.
FUGGER
12-16-2006, 08:29 PM
That is fast eddie, he is standing up on the curb, we are about the same hieght.
An hour out of Vegas now, went through a bit of heavy snow.
The car was justifiable, Philly had a blast driving back. Pics when we land.
Productive meetings, everyting went great.

Ohhhh man, Fugger if you get stopped by the cops, I want to see a copy of the dash cam of you explaining just what that thing is. :party:

12-16-2006, 08:43 PM
You should have seen me trying to explain a single stage to the cops at the Hoover Dam... They stop some cars and search and I got searched once bringing my ss home.. Was pretty funny!

God... God.... Can we say good enough weight at back to peel some tire?
the mustangs have a computer thing that makes it so when you punch it to spin the tires it lets off the gas a little and hertz wouldnt take that off :fact:
and another 3 stage cascade! any build thread, it looks cool [he he punny]

If you do a search for threads started by 'FUGGER' and in this section of the forum, it's one of the top threads.
