Zero to do with LCs, but absolutely sick and impressive... dude built this car on a carport for SEMA:


It's hard to convey how big a monster this car was/is. Not just in terms of power, but drivability. It took a very good driver to handle these beasts.

Look how far back that engine sits. That's some good weight distribution.

@mtweller thanks for sharing.

Do you mean F-bodies in general?

I always found their handling to be very predictable and smooth in transitions despite a live rear axle. :cheers:

I do miss my drives to work through the desert canyons and tight switch backs in mine. I'm sure my mpg went from 28 attainable to about 5 actual during my work commutes. LMAO

The cars that get built just specifically for SEMA are ridiculous. I may try to bundle my trip to see my Dad in Sedona this year around SEMA time to drop by the show for a day or two.
 
Wow. Amazing. Just incredible!!!

Though like the brim of his hat, it’s a little too flat for my tastes. I’d bring it up just enough so the tires weren’t looking like a goofy footed duck. But that’s just me.

No, I'm talking about the old SCCA Trans Am race cars, especially this one. The car he's paying homage to was a very powerful car.

That era of Trans Am was amazing. Everyone talks about how NASCAR was amazing back in the 60s and 70s, Trans Am was right there with it.

Here is a crappy video of a guy driving the old '71 SCCA Firebird Trans Am car. Can't tell if this is shot at the Red Bull (A1) Ring or not. The cars from that era are a handful.

I tried to put a timestamp on this, but it didn't take. Start the video at 1:07 to avoid the cheesy/crappy intro.

Trans Am has always been better than NiceCar in my opinion.

Its still around and still great. There should be a race coming up in March at Road Atlanta near you.


Great video around the 6:30 mark is good :cheers:

The vintage series is most likely what you want to watch though but their schedule keeps getting cut and pretty much is a California only thing now.
 
Jesus that looks like fun. Guess I’ll have to make do with the Oculus VR till I win the lotto.

I really want want to play dirt and other games one
 
It’s a blast. I do project cars on steam with a Logitech wheel, pedals and shifter setup. I have tactile transducers in a box, but I’m stopping short of the actuated seat.... $$$$$$$$
 
I love old Porsches. Not sure which one I love most, but this one is pretty high on the list.



The 959 has always been my favorite. He did a good job on the video. The off road features are awesome. Some tech CEO in RTP daily drives his. I saw it at Road Scholars Cars and Coffee and it was trashed inside. Reminded me of teenagers car. Empty fast food bags, trash in the floor boards, etc. Ovelry dirty and messy. It is silver.

this is what i'm talking about......


 
Sign me up. I would never come out of my basement!


That's the danger right..... I play games but try to limit my time as I don't want that to be it other than my work life. Lately Red Dead Redemption 2 has sucked me in so much that i'm going to take a break from it. I think with this it would suck up a month of my life easily. But its so awesome I don't care.
 
I do think a higher end video game spot with these real motion cars would make money. I would go play if they had Group B cars that actually moved the seat. Or Dakar vehicles or DTM cars or I would be in big trouble. ;<)
 
Yeah the moving seat would be cool. But without it it’s still cool. Force feedback on the wheel is helpful in feeling the grip.

One rally game I have somewhere but never played has a Group S DLC also. It may have been the Loeb game
