I like exotic cars, but I prefer American musclecars more. I'd like to add a Ford GT before I go with an Italian, it is just more my style.

Colemann, I used to play in state semi-pro and pro tournaments over 10 yrs ago. I used to love gambling and traveling around and playing different halls. Then I got a real job, and decided I preferred spending money instead of gambling it. I still have a table, but rarely play competitively now. Too many hobbies, too little time. Spending hours in smoke-filled poolhall was more appealing in my early 20s.

I'm jealous. I'd give my left nut for a viper, but I prefer the looks of the 96/97 blue/white GTS. Nice collection.

A couple questions:

Are both of the 5th gens the same blower setup, or one PD vs centri?

And how the hell do you pick what to drive? Seriously.

Three of the vehicles have the Magna Charger TVS2300 in them. Both 5th gens and the Z06. The Viper has the Paxton Novi2000 centrifugal. I can honestly say I'm not a fan of centri blowers, after having owned PD blowers and twin-turbo vehicles. I don't like waiting for rpm to enjoy boost, and I'm not much of a dyno racer.

If it were any Mopar for me, it would be a 71 Cuda. I've always favored the Cudas over the Challenger/Charger.

Well, I did create LS1Tech didn't I?

I do like Fords, just don't currently own any. Unless you count the 2007 F150 that I didn't include in the photos
