    what trunk? my dad used to have an exige with the race pack etc..

    it was so fun to drive i was lucky enough to get a go once and they feel so good to drive just drop it down a gear or 2 slam on the accelerator and let it rev upto 8.5k and then finaly shift makes a glorious sound and handles soo well

    Series 1 Elise (series 2 is a bit of a heffer by comparison) with Nitron suspension, a Jackson Racing supercharged K20A and a stack of other tasty bits from Eliseparts.com. Practical and comfortable enough to use every day, will destroy just any other road car (within reason) on the road and is pretty affordable.

    I have realistic dreams :)

    True series one is good again I went with one to the nurburgring and that was quick plus with a K series engine everything can be fixed with a fuse spanner and gaffa tape oh he needed a stanley knife as well.

    I had no idea that was a Falcon...
    I still have a 63 Falcon. It's nothing like that. It could thow you back in the seat a bit, but...it's not scary like that car. When I think MadMax I naturally think of the LTD I posted. (Probably 'cause I've buried the speedometer needle in one a few times.:hehe:)

    ...I wonder if you can supercharge a 260 V8...:worried: Man, you are going to get me killed!

    I already have my dream car.

    [​IMG]


    Although it's not moved an inch in weeks. Dry weather only.. definitely not when there's salt on the roads!

    I suppose i'm fortunate that my dream car doesn't cost a fortune. Having said that, I would also like a '67 GT500. NOT the hideous creation in gone in 60 seconds.... which is a plastic replica of a GT500.. I mean the real thing.



    [​IMG]

    It is NOT an "Eleanor"... using that word around a Mustang enthusiast will get you shot... it's a Shelby GT500.

    Gone in 60 seconds has a lot to answer for!

    These people can -
    http://www.superchargerusa.com/ford_bk_drag.htm

    just scroll down to the Ford 289. They will make you a 260 manifold.

    Might have to think twice about a $4000 blower on a Falcon although I can show you a link to a 64 Falcon with a 501CID engine and two turbo chargers.

    I used to have a 63 Ranchero. No I didn't buy it new.
