What stole your attention from HiFi?



Hey folks.

Its been a while since ive been on here. My interests have recently taken a massive swing away from the audio hobby.
This happens from time to time, but i usually end up back here.

The newest attention stealer is my car. Black 2004 Mustang GT. Been doing a lot of work on it to make it faster and meaner. Man, Cars are almost as bad and as expencive as hi-fi. Hell, if i woulda bought a boombox and dumped the cash i blew on audio gear, my stang would be pushing 600HP at the rear and smoking dodge vipers. ROFL

What has stolen your attention in the past from Hi-Hi?

Cant say "kids", that is too easy of a cop out. ;)

Lugnut? Nitrous-- That makes me laugh

I Have a little smallblock 360 plymouth street strip car which does 11.6'S IN THE 1/4 (3300 pounds naturally aspirated) without any of that funny stuff. Oh ya and on my deathbed I will recieve total consciousness which is nice.

PS audiobugged is that why the guys in your car club call you the crusier

with me its jump from one obsession to another but with cars its just like audio, synergy, you need a setup that works well together.

dont be so sure. being a mopar man myself I cant publically support any chevy any where any time... but off the record its very possible. For example my car runs an 11.6 1/4 it is a 3300 pound essentially stock body and interior full seats glass heater and all. 360 small block cast iron mildly ported heads, hydralic lifters 520 lift cam, single plane manifold 750 holley homemade headers three inch exhaust including mufflers with street legal tires and an automatic.
If I were to put the car on a diet and shed some weight put a steep roller cam in there up the converter stall speed , throw some alumminum fully ported heads . I wouldnt want to drive it to the track anymore and I would likely have to throw more money in its direction on a regular basis- meaning broken parts- but I dont doubt I could be in the high 10's
lugnut,

chrysler did some amazing research in the sixties didnt they. Those early 60's factory "race cars could go in the 10's with factory leaf spring suspension and honestly some pretty crappy tires. That is why when my friend (with the nova who spent alot of time and money putting a four link in) tells me I should get rid of my superstock springs and do the same. I just smile and say maybe some day. Hey I am far from a luddite (sp) there is a place for the newer tech but not on my 64 street car that hooks up good enough to pull the wheels 6 inches off the track .
