@Twistiva: Hardtops not sold in the U.S. they go for a pretty penny. 3k is a good price to find a hardtop at. I call the MR-s the Porsche/Lotus killer because in capable hands that's exactly what they are.
I have been keeping an eye out on prices for them. I want a first-run-third-gen. I have seen two at 6k but that was at a time when I was putting parts into the Z. I still have not been able to sit in on to see if I fit, but have been assured that it it very possible with aftermarket seats.

Milton -

Good luck finding one. I would LOVE to own one! Another hot car I love is the Audi TT, not the newer ones but the ones that were built in the 07-08 timeframe.

Cheers!

Yep, that's me!

(My apologies to the moderators if these pix are too big. Not sure how to size them down any. Besides, aren't man pix supposed to be man sized???...)

@Twist: they tend to be like leaves in a creek, they are there but they tend to just pass by lol. I have a love hate with the Audi TT's I loved the first run, then hated the second. Then saw the second one all purttied up in a darker grey and loved it. but then saw one that was murdered out and it killed my love of them I guess. You should post some pics of some good ones.

I had a buddy who had a tt and had nothing but problems with it... he loved it at first but then began to hate it cuz all it did was cost him money.

I've flown military planes for a living for over 20 years and you couldn't pay me enough to ride one of these things down the track at full throttle. Call me a sissy, but that would scare me to death! Too much speed and not enough metal wrapped securely around my soft, pink body! :highly_amused:

It is a custom built chassis with a 74" wheel base and accepts a 10.5” slick. The motor started out as 1980-1983 suzuki gs 1150, all we really use are the cases and associated hardware. We bore the cases out to accept an 89mm piston, and we run falicon stroker cranks. With this combination we end up right around 1720cc. The head has 32mm intake and 28mm exhaust valve and a custom ground cams.



Our best time on all motor is a 4.82 with a 1.09 60 foot, our best time with a progressive nitrous ramp tune is a 4.36 with a 1.01 60 foot (all times are 1/8mile and I have proof). We will start testing soon at Zmax dragway




Here is the link for the ADRL series we are running in this year
