Guys I'm back checking in...
 

Sorry I have not been posting at all for a while.. I have been really busy on some other projects that are not Pro-Touring related. I do have a couple of Trans Am builds going though. I have one at DSE with a friend of mine and a '70 T/A getting frame off restored in FL by Trans Am Depot. Lateral-G is still my homepage on all my computers and I do read through some of the threads.

Again, sorry for not being active, but I will try and do so more now.

SW

Welcome back! :thumbsup:

I would love to see and hear more about both TA builds.

It's really good to hear from you SW! :thumbsup:

SW,I check in every week at DSE's web site.Your T/A is turning great.I saw it and I belive your Black 69 last year at their Open house.Very nice.:thumbsup: Welcome Back.Scott M.

Good to hear that you are still alive!! LoL!

Thanks guys, I will post up what's been keeping me busy later, we have family over for Father's day.

SW

SW, welcome back dude!

Welcome back.

What are some of the our projects?

Your new daily driver is somewhat pro-touring:hail:

Thanks. You guys know I sold my '69 Camaro to a buddy of mine and the '69 Mach 1 to another friend. I have a '70 white/blue 4spd T/A getting frame off restored at Trans Am Depot on FL. I also have a T/A build going on at DSE with a buddy of mine. I recently purchased a F430 Challenge car and been racing it. I plan on doing alot more events but it's costly so I might let me buddy buy me out of the DSE car so I can use that money for racing the Ferrari. My current line up of cars are:

2009 Ferrari Scuderia Twin-Turboed by Underground Racing
2007 Ferrari 430 Spyder (wife's car)
2006 Ferrari 430 Coupe (daily driver)
2008 Ferrari F430 Challenge car
2008 Ferrari 599 currently for sale..
2008 Lamborghini Superleggera Twin-Turbo by Underground Racing
Still have the Ford GT Twin-Turbo & ZO6, Turbo Miata
Suburban, F450, Crown Vic Police car, Turbo Lexus
2011 BMW X5M
2010 Lexus Is250
'79 Trans AM

I just sold my Supra to a good friend of mine, my wife wanted me to stop running the mile with it so I had to sell it..

So as you can see, between work, family and racing, I have been really busy but there is no excuse for me not to be on here, my fault. I plan on contributing here as much as possible, again. I have the itch for another less expensive Pro-touring car I can actually drive some, so I am on the hunt again..

Holy schnikies! Now that is a stable!

Sounds good. Where can we see some video of that TT ferrari? What where the final HP/tq numbers?

The Lambo made 1038 whp on 93 and over 1500 on C16..

The Ferrari is a bolt on kit on the stock motor, made 729 rwh on pump..

That's why he's THE "StreetKing"!!! Welcome back SW! :lateral:

Why are you selling the 599? Didn't you like it?


Thanks for posting the UR vid - those 430's sound great!

Thanks!

The 599 is a great car, but I am more in love with way it looks more than the way it drives. It's a big powerful car, but not nimble and fun to drive as the f430s ..

Here is a short video of me at my last Ferrari race. This was the 3rd time I have driven the Challenge car. Wed, I spent practicing and getting my NASA license. I was supposed to qualify and race on thursday, but I was going by the schedule and apparently the times were moved up a few hours so I missed both. Friday I did not practice at all, just qualified and raced. I qualified on the pole with a 1:21.665 just ahead of the 458 Challenge car at 1:22.574. The race was fun, I managed to lead the race up until I felt a bad vibration which turned out to be a cut tire. I was trying my best keep the 458 behind me.. I just needed 3 more laps.. I slowed down quite a bit and ended up 3rd, 2nd in the 430 class.

My Go Pro was having problems with the auto focus and ran out just before the end of the race. You can see on the start, I was trying to speed everyone up and I early shifted to third, but the green flag dropped and I was a little late on the hit but I did not lift..I wanted to get ahead of the 458:D ..

I am still available for adoption :lol:

That is pretty awesome SW. Welcome back, love seeing all of your builds. I am a Ferrari guy for sure, and was wondering when you were going to build a 458. Sounds like your challenge car and driving kick ass if your 430 was quicker than the 458 car in the race. Good stuff. :thumbsup:

Absolutely sick Ferrari. I assumed you where more of a stage 3 or race version kind of guy. keep the videos coming. Awesome stable have automobiles you have collected.

Welcome back!

Nice list of cars LOL

Glad to have you back, SW.

What was the best speed that you posted with the Supra? :bow:

246.3 in the mile, [email protected] 1/4 mile..

Thanks, good to be back..

[QUOTE=Streetking;354830] I also have a T/A build going on at DSE with a buddy of mine.

That's has to be the BADDEST 73 T/A IN THE FREAKING UNIVERSE S/W. I can't waite to see it completed. DSE is doing a hell of a job for you guys, Love it.

Welcome back :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I was wondering where you were. Glad all is good.

Welcome back SW. Nice collection of cars.
Can't wait to see your new "toys" complete!:thumbsup:

It's great to hear from you! :cheers:

I've been kept up to date on you via my 25 year old son who is a Ferrari affectionado... He's always telling me "did you see what SW did... Blah blah blah". He was pushing me to get his mother a 458 for her birthday but I ended up with the more "girlie" Audi R8 Spyder... LOL

Good to hear you're back - I, for one, missed reading your insightful thoughts.

I know we "argued" a bit about the Mercedes vs the BMW -- but I have to say -- I absolutely L O V E my S63 BT.. it does exactly what I was looking for - and I guess that is always half the battle.


:lateral: :cheers: :woot:

Should have kept that piece of Japanese muscle and a bad ass record setter.:willy: I just hope it won't end up parted out.

Good to see you post on here:thumbsup:

Thanks for the warm welcome back guys. Ya, I'm going to miss my Supra but if I kept it, I would run it again and I promised the wife I was done. She was there when my buddy Richard crashed his Lamborghini and she freaked.. That's the reason I said I was done. She is good with my purchase of the F430 Challenge car and racing it..

Are you done racing at the mile?

I saw a few vids of you in the Ferrari on youtube, amazing machine!

As far as my wife is concerned, yes. Kevin from Underground Racing is trying to talk my wife into letting me run his Lamborghini Nera at the mile in Oct. It made 1980 rhw.. it's insane. If she goes for it, I'm sure that car will go 255-260..

Quit while you're ahead...

Howdy SW. You could quit tomorrow, and still have plenty of automotive accomplishments under your belt. Looking forward to seeing your next classic car projects.

Tony

You guys may be right, I'm still in one piece for now anyway.. :D Thanks Tony, your stable is looking really nice!
