Metros...

[mp3blast]

I dont know about you guys, but i really wanna metro when it comes time for me to buy a car (Which wont be until I get my license in December)





Top speed is 85 but who cares. Its just really nice and fuel efficient.

[JBELL]

those cars are not the fanciest but damn are they ever realiable!! I know a guy that works for chevy... drives 60 miles one way to work with over 260,000 miles on original engine .. .still runs like new.

All the girls will be happy to see that your conservative, reliable, and welll......

I think you should go with a Camaro or some other penis extension.

My truck looks really cool. I bought a Chevy Xtreme. Its only a four cylinder though. Heavy and slow. I would have been better off with a metro

If reliability and gas mileage is what you want I think its a great buy.

heh, i dotn really like american cars, japs are my fav but the chevy metro and cavalier really appeal to me

Top speed is faster than that. Most cars dont show their max on the speedo. it's not needed. all the mustang gt 5.0's had 85mph speedo';s.

Poweraide only makes a throttle body spacer for the 2.2l. I already did my intake and exhaust and a throttle body spacer. I have a power pulley from asp pullies on its way in the mail too. I just put in 8mm Spark plug wires and the quad tipped platnum plugs too.

It runs much faster than a non modded one but its still a bit slow.
OOOOHHHH well. I guess I shoulda bought something with a V8 then. But I just got a ticket the other day driving up to Chico CA to drop a processor off at a friends. Maybe I'm not responsible enough for a faster ride yet? Lead foot. I might not ever be responsible enough for a faster car.

YOu mean your Mustang Gt went faster tahn 85?!?!?!?


LOL naw just kidding. Yeah he's right, Speedometors don't really mena anything. I used to drive a Ford Thunderbird SC. It came from the factory with a supercharger on it. The speedometor said 120mph, but it went faster than that

You mean it went to 121.

And then exploded

Might as well have. I drove that thing into the ground. I took it into the shop one time because I just couldn't figure out where this vibration was coming from. It was shaking my steering wheel and all so I figured I need to have my wheels aligned or something. They had to tighten up the four bolts that were suppossed to be holding my drive shaft on. They told me I was lucky I had brought it in before my drive shaft fell off.


Too many burn outs I guess.

The car was pretty fast. I still love um but they're old to the point that owning one wouldn't make sense. Too much maintenance. When the motor blows it costs (if I remember right) like 4,000 to 5,000 dollars to get it fixed because of it being an uncommon motor or the block or the parts they built it with were uncommon.

I like it simple now. If I'm gonna work on my car I want it to be something old and easy to do. I don't like working on the newer cars. I can't wait till I have my own house so I can have a project car in the garage.

[Soulburner]

Uhh that makes me kinda weary, because i'm getting an annoying vibration too

[JBELL]

METRO STYLE YO!!

[Inigmatics]

[mrzee]

Metro = speedbump. Stay away from semi's in that thing, especially mine. Dangerous cars, and only a three cylinder engine.
You will not survive an accident in that car. Get an SUV

I had a 91 Gt back in 93, I put a cartech turbo system in, I was so tired of running out of nitrous. 250HP NOS kit. upgraded to 14lb boost turbo from here.

http://www.cartech.net/fordturbofox.htm

t-64 upgrade

ended up with 585HP 610lb's of tourqe on the dyno.

They used to advertise 180+mph with their kits. Mine felt like it would come apart once i passed 145mph, id have to back off everytime.

makes you really think about tires and brakes.

soon after i totaled the car

[Soulburner]

Those GTs just weren't made for top speeds like that...

On the other hand, these were



Speed limiter actually shuts the engine off at 162mph...but that can be disabled with LS1Edit and a laptop...perfectly stable at that speed too.

[Tedinde]

I traded in a 91 Formula 350 firebird for the mustang.

The firebird had a 8 port nitrous fogger kit installed. 300 horse extra on on a wide open throttle switch, I've taken it past 160.

These are on delaware highway's also. there isnt very much straight away!!!! There is one good 3 mile run that i always used to hit on I 495 coming from PA to Delaware late night.

I fulfill me NFS on a GPZ1100E now. I bought it in 1996, i have a whole 4000 miles on it. Same motor as a ZX11 just in a sport tourer 8 gallon tank.
