Celebrating the start of spring with pictures of my 3 pride & joy go fast cars!
Well despite my name here I'm definitely not brand specific because my 3 go fast machines equally represent the big 3 (Mopar, Chevy and Ford).
1. 2010 Dodge Viper ACR (only 1 of 4 ever made in 2010 in Snakeskin Green with Black tapered stripes). LOVE this car my weekend warrior! A complete animal with 610 rwhp with its ported cylinder heads, Bellanger long tube headers, CAI, high flow cats, Mopar Performance ECM, and rear gears upgraded to 3.73 gear (from the factory 3.07 gears).
2. 1967 Show and Go Camaro, making 1000 HP with its 565 ci Dart Big Block and 250 dual shot of N20. Ford 9 inch rear with 4.10 gears, reverse manual valve body turbo 400 tranny with 4,500 stall, mini-tubed, Wildwood disc brakes on all 4 with coilovers. A dragster and show car all rolled into one. A well built beast and a complete monster!
3. 2016 Mustang GT, Performance Package, Manual Tranny and 3.73 gears and Recarro seats all from the factory. All stock except for the Bassani Mid-Muffler cat back system. The Stang 5.0 GT is my everyday good weather driver, its a blast to drive!
All I can say I thank GOD for my blessings everyday and I am pumped up that Spring has Sprung and the 2017 car season is here!!

Nice fleet Jimmy Variety is the spice of life. I am emptying the garage today before the lousy weather we have coming the next 2 days. It sure feels good to be driving again. Spring has sprung.

Jimmy, that Mustang is more than enough for you. You really don't need the Viper or the Camaro. In fact, they may get you into trouble. I don't want that to happen! I'm going to PM you my address so you can ship them to me. They'll each have a special place in my garage and I promise to love and cherish both of them. And, since winters aren't as harsh where I live, they'll get out to play more often and they'll be really happy about that. You have my word. Thanks buddy!

Camaro is too nice to make into a regular drag racer but the 2 times we took her down the 1/4 mile we were able to run 10.13 on motor and 9.09 on spray. Needed to get a solid number at the track but she is now retired from seeing track duty, and strictly a radical street machine now that sees a lot of cruise nights.

Thank you Cerino, I know you love your Mopars and I don't blame you one bit I love them to (especially the classic muscle cars from back in the day) and can't wait to see what the Dodge Demon is going to be all about.

Oh I love them all. Out of the 110+ of just about everything that I have owned it is a toss up between my 04 Viper and the Hellcat as to which one I liked the best. That's why that Gen 5 Viper is on the list. To settle it once and for all. Of course the new Z06 might swing me in a different direction. We'll see as that is on the list too. But that Viper is what pulled me into mopar camp anyways. Just a brutish awesome machine.
