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, you state:
My Nova ran mid tens at 5500 feet corrected elevation. Small block, one carb, pump gas, through the mufflers on street tires. Oh yeah, a stick too. No nitrous or forced air induction. I did it the hard way.
What engine, and what did you do to it? You're talking a low 14's quarter, at best.

Lugnut, Whoa, take it easy! My apologies. From your first description, it sounded like primarily a streeter, with some mods! Especially the part about "street tires". How the hell did you get it to "hook up" with street tires for an ET in the mid 10's?!!!

Sounds like you really did some work on that Nova, and I can see how my post would rub you the wrong way. Again, I apologize. I've just heard so many friggin' stories about 10 or 11 ET's from people with stocker or slightly modded muscle cars. Hey, they were fast, but not that fast!

Well Lugnut, your later descriptions of your Nova sure shed a lot more light on what you went through to build your car, than did your first post. Sounds like you really loved that machine...sorry that you had to sell it!
