My Whip... - 01.13.2013, 01:53 AM

I don't like to post my ride on the internet because not everyone can afford my lifestyle. Everybody is pretty chill at Rc-M so I think I can share without too many people hating on me.

A lot of people wouldn't use my vehicle as a daily driver, saying I'm just showing off, but oh well.

My street/strip auto has the potent and downright nasty 2 valve aluminum block 4.6l modular v-8. On pump gas I'm pushing 190hp/270 ft lbs of torque. It's got a bulletproof 4r70w 3 speed with overdrive transmission, with custom glazing so it shakes violently when shifting into overdrive.

Custom titanium plugs because 3 of the 8 stockers were seized in the aluminum block when replaced needing heli-coils. The titanium is supposed to not seize.

Body wise I added a custom crinkled drivers front fender when I hit a deer. (the thing splattered and popped my air bags- no more airbags...) And my dad who has been a mechanic his whole life added some sweet scratches to the rear doors when he pushed me out of a ditch with his minneapolis moline tractor.

In the interior I have a gaping hole in the dash where the alpine head unit used to be, I traded it for r/c stuff.

When I drive it, it gets 13mpg. When my dad drives it, it gets 17mpg. My dad has always been fuel efficient.

She'll run high 19's in the 1/8 mile at about 36mph all day.

It's hard to say I'd change anything about her, she's my baby. I am looking into swapping out the old oil for some new stuff. It's been about 2500 miles since the last swap.

This isn't a joke, this is an actual pic of the back of my sick hoopty-



Haters gonna hate...
