Im pretty new to the bike game but ive been building and racing muscle cars for years. Im almost done with my current 65 mustang fastback project that has been 4 yrs in the making. Im just curious to see who elses love of fast cars led them into the bike scene.

 

I am a Drag Racer, hence the screen name. I have a 70 Chevelle with a 548" Big Block that runs low 10's. I have been doing this for a while.
I always wanted a bike, I just now got around to it. I turned 51 in December. I am riding the wheels off my Harley, I am hopelessly addicted Car is gonna sit for a little while........

 

I know the feeling.......i keep wondering what it would be like to take my sporty down the 1/4.....curious to see what she would run too.

 

ive had lots of fast muscle cars 73 pontiac le mans , 68 cougar, 76 camaro, 65 mustang and a corvette to name a few. always wanted a harley and finally got the chance to buy a new one. then i sold all my cars couldnt be happier i still have a silverado but its no muscle car lol

 

When I was young, did the "muscle" car thing. Think many of us similar in age did. I was into Chevelles for a long time. Went to the local drags often.

During those years, I dabbled with metric bikes but figured it would end badly at that point in my life (drank) so stayed away while all along saying "if I get another motorcyle, it will be a Harley."

Now, I have that Harley and it's been a good ride so far.

 

I've been into muscle cars ever since i can remember riding in one uncles 69 road runner and anothers 69 super bee.. i've had my current 67 belvedere since 85(my first one got totaled, not my fault ) both uncles told me when i got married the car would be gone in 6 months.. i said sheeeet, she'll be gone before that car goes.. i did the whole complete build except paint work with the then current technology in how i thought ma mopar should have built it.. i built it for the stree, year round and track.. 340, 727 auto, 3:91 in a 8 3/4 sure grip.. shes been together since 85 and will still rip a low 13 on street tires, stock converter, through the mufflers and on pump gas.. its best time was 13:19 @ 107.9 mph.. it avgs a respectable 13.40...


i tried to put a pic of it up, but for some reason i can't get the IMG tag to work on it.. its in "my album" here.. its the blue 67..


yeah i'm a motor head.. did it make me want a harley.. not really.. the harley picked me.. it was in our showroom calling my name one morning.. some fool trade it in for a ridgeline..

 

I grew up during the age of the muscle car, and always had a car or a project in the works. Fifteen years ago I came to the conclusion I could park 6 bikes in the same space my Elcamino SS took up in the garage. My Vmax is the closest thing to a hot rod now.

Always looking for the next project though...

 

I have owned many over the years. 66 Mustang Fastback, 65 El Camino, 66 English Ford, 57 Chevy P/U. I have owned over thirty vehicles in the last thirty years. I can't even remember them all at times. Some I wish I had never gotten rid of. I just bought a 97 Mustang GT convertible to build up which is the newest car I have ever owned. I think I just need something to wrench on at all times.

 

See above. ^

It's the former HP Tuners car. Held several records both V6 (was originally a V6 car before converted to V8) and LS1 in 4th gen F-Bodies at one time. I was not the owner of the car at the time of the records being set. I own it now with a different setup.

Current setup it'll dip into the 9's with a stock block/crank/cubes/and ported early casting LS1 heads and a lil nitrous on stock style suspension.

Here's a video of when the car set the "cam only" LS1 record (10.34 at the time, and cutting a 1.37 60 foot in this video. It has cut 1.31 60 foot times).
