-IMSA GTO

-BTCC

-DTM

Need I go on? When the track gets slick, and the V8olvo can’t out its power down, and the Lincox’s mass pushes its continental spare tire kit sideways into the wall, my Quattro will triumph once again.

And if you vote to have my Audi crushed, I will drop a precision guided munition on your car. I have the power to do it!

I seriously cannot wait to see how this turns out.

I know of a Roadie that I could have picked up from a salvage sale for cheap. In fact, I knew the fellow who owned the car. 70+ year old man, heavy cigar smoker and easy driver, car had 230k on it. I would’ve had him do a few trash talking promos with his cane, whaping various pieces of European and Japanese vehicles at a nearby junkyard. The vignette would obviously be called ‘Grandpa’s pissed!’

The more I think about it… maybe I can find another one.

Jordan Tenenbaum: faux Continental kits and America’s first car (foreign or otherwise) with ABS and flush headlamps trumps all. With 11″ discs all around and ABS, I’ll be late braking harder than most everyone else. :)

Mike Solowiow: I LOVE those 4000s!!! Too bad it will meet its maker when the Hot Rod Lincoln devours it on one of MSR’s long straights.

Ok, I’ll shut up now until my next blog. Looking forward to more updates from JL and crew too.

I’m just waiting for someone to come out of the proverbial woodshed with an old Jaguar XJS that has a 302 conversion as well. Throw in a Celica Supra with a GM engine into the mix and you would more or less have mutt city incarnate.

As far as other unique machinery…. I actually have a 1977 Mercedes 350SE sitting on my driveway right now that I bought for only $250. It runs and shifts fine, and a 1st gen Q45 engine and tranny would fit quite well in it.

Hmmmm…. it’s a thought. However the car looks too good to screw up and given that it’s a grey market car, I’ve already had enough headaches. My pick for this competition would be to rebuild a Mercedes 500E or an E34 M5 that’s possibly holding up space at a friend’s junkyard. I know I can get my hands on the first, but the second would be near impossible.

Good luck guys.

You best be prepared…. to meet the Audi 4000 Quattr-o-death!

My lockable differentials and four wheel drive make your RWD Lincoln cower on its deflated tires

My overhead cam 5-cylinder fuel-injected motor laughs at your pushroded and emission be-smogged V8

My scary German electronics fizzle at your laughable build quality.

May the best car (not barge!) win!

P.S. The Air Force already gave me my fire-retardant underwear…..

Jonny, what year is your DL? Kind of looks like a ‘85-, so be sure the wiring doesn’t turn into dust when you touch it.

Also, I hope you freaking win.

And… we’d crush your luxo-barge, Mehta.

ONSET will see your DL, and raise you our 1 season old all 4 rounds last year very very crumpled 1987 Cavalier wagon. At some point this season, we’ll have TWO 1987 Cav wagons in one of these races.

What price stupidity? Oh, about $3800 per, plus hundreds of man-hours at Pick Your Part scrounging.
LeMons is about the cheapest (un)real racing out there, and it’s a cubic assload of fun.

Jay (Lamm) is really hitting his Bill France stride about now, we’ll see how the season goes!

If so – what a bargain!

And in the interest of smack talk: its too bad my agile Fox Lincoln will run circles around your brickhouse Volvo. Really, it’s a shame.
