2011 redmerc Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 2005 Mustang OK its a V6 automatic but it runs mid 14s@94 and looks just as good as a GT. I just couldn't bring myself to trade it in when I got the 2011 Milan 2.5L. BUT the way things are going now I don't know. I just might end up selling it. Maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 A 1995 Twin Turbo Nissan 300ZX with 36K miles on the clock. One of less than 600 imported in 1995 with a 5-speed manual transmission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyz Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 It's amazing how few Fusion owners have a "toy" sitting in their garage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazztrumpet216 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm a teacher. My Fusion IS my toy. My other set of wheels is a 1992 Plymouth Voyager with almost 230K miles, which as a traveling band director, comes in handy when it's time to haul instruments from school to school. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agray56 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Not technically a Fusion owner yet, but still looking for one. My toy is a 2001 Mustang Bullitt. Lots of suspension mods, but motor is still stock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris00gt Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I have two Mustangs....my 2000 and my 1991. Both are far from stock and the 1991 is still work in progress. The 2000 is supercharged and the 1991 has an NOS 150hp shot intake plate setup. Here is a video of her running http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/Chris00GT/?action=view¤t=576bf1ae.mp4 Edited May 5, 2011 by chris00gt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBlackFFH Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) As usual, I have to be different from the crowd. My "toy" is a 2003 GMC 1500 4X4 pickup. Outside it looks like something you'd take fishing or hunting. Under the hood I've stuffed a 6.0 L (364 CID for us old folks) engine, and topped it with a Magnusson MP112 blower. The result is a 0 - 60 time of just under 5.2 seconds. Not sure what the 1/4 mile is. I hope to get to the track sometime this summer.

Fuze-ion Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) My toy is and has been since 1976: 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. It is all stock with the Rocket V-8 (315HP). Galleon Gold with Gold interior. It has the TIC TOC Tach, Sport Steering Wheel, Rallye I Chrome Wheels, Dual Cut-out Exhaust Bumper, Olds W-31 Posi rear (3.42 gearing). It really sucks-up the Gas, as well as all the other vehicles I have ever owned. It aslo takes Premium, back in 1970 gas was 98 Octane. The Fusion Hybrid is the first vehicle I have ever owned, that was bought with the theory of MPG. I also own a (1999) Ford Expedition, (2003) Ford F-150.

The Fusion Hybrid is the first vehicle I have ever owned, that was bought with the theory of MPG. I also own a (1999) Ford Expedition, (2003) Ford F-150. Gasoline back in those days was rated according to the Research Octane Number (RON). When unleaded came out around 1974-ish they switched to an average of the RON and the Motor Octane Number (MON). The resulting number is about 4 to 5 points lower for the same quality gas. So the old 98 RON gas of 1970 would be about like the 93 Octane of today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, my screen name. We had a 66 Cutlass, 68 442 (authentic) W30, 72 C/S coupe, 72 Hurst Olds, 75 Cutlass Salon coupe, 77 98 Regency. After that I went to FoMoCo Last week I attended the annual local Oldsmobile club "spring dust off" show. Lots of beautiful Oldses from all decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyz Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Of all the cars that I have owned, the one I wished I hadn't sold was my wife's 1971 Cutlass Supreme SX. We spec'd it out and ordered it from the factory with the 455 cu in (4bbl carb), turbohydromatic 400 (with Hurst dual-gate "his and hers" shifter), guage package, etc. It was a 442 (drivetrain and suspension) enclosed in a formal Supreme 2-door body. Posted below is the original window sticker. I wonder what this car would be worth today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SX with the performance package was a true sleeper. They were quite rare. Only 1820 coupes were built in 1971. I doubt too many survive. There were 2 beauties at the show I mentioned above. Prices range from about $4g for a basket case up to the mid-$20G range for a nice one, like this one I have diecast model of an SX coupe. That's the closest I'll get to owning one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011se25 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Wow, guess I don't have any pictures, but my toy is a Ford Taurus. An old SHO is the definition of a sleeper car. No one would expect that grocery getter to be as fast as it is. Do you have a manual or an automatic? Is it green? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a true sleeper. She ordered it in a medium brown metallic with black buckets and a black vinyl roof. Only the 442 exhaust "trumpets" and the exhaust rumble gave away its potential. However, with approximately 500 lbft of torque, and a 3.08 rear end, it tended to consume rear tires! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
