What's your favorite Hot Rod?

Born and raised a MOPAR man, had 68 340 auto Dart, and a 69 383 4spd Dart. My mom bought a 70 Challenger Convertible Plum Crazy 340 car new, I still have it. Truth be told Id probably sell my motor cycles before I sold that car.
I like Mopar myself, I had a 72 Challenger with the 340 small block. It had the 340 Four Barrel emblem on the hood. It was triple black, black interior, black vinyl top and black paint. 👍
 
I got a 2010 Camaro with a highly modified LS3. It's basically a race car. It still has A/C though! It has kirkey seats, a 5 point harness, open headers, and a lot of the car has been gutted. I just rebuilt the top end and threw in a new cam this past winter. 376 cu in, all aluminum (block and heads), stock bottom end, flycut stock pistons, 11.3-1 compression, Hi-Ram intake, a very healthy cam and some other goodies. I spin it to 7600rpm. Makes around 620-640hp at the flywheel on 93 pump. The cam makes it a nightmare to drive on the street with the 6 speed manual. It needs a built TH400 with a 5500-6000 stall.
 
I've had a 730whp twin turbo diesel, 500whp Nissan 240sx, and currently have a 88 s10 with a turbo 5.3 LS in it. Been a fun long term project and have done the entire truck myself. Gutted, roll cage, narrowed 9", billet th350 and 4" aluminum driveline. Currently just cruising around 525whp on pump gas but plan on getting that up over 600 once I get the tune a little more dialed in. The daughter sure likes going fast in it and doing burnouts.

THAT'S COOL. 👍
 
So in high school I had the coolest mom. She had a 68.5 Shelby gt 500kr. Blue and white. She gave it to my brother so at least it's in the family.
Now that I can afford my own my other hobby is cars. I have a 23 f-150 3.5 with 514whp.

A 22 gt 500 putting done 1048whp, a 2016 focus rs big turbo build putting down 528awhp. That one's my favorite.
I also loved two strokes and suicide doors so I have two Mazda rx8 rotary cars that are two stroke is as far as mixing oil.
Here is me and my wife's date night last week.

There we go 👍
I have 2 1970 SS Camaros one has 406 Sbc, hugger orange with black stripes.
The other isn't finished but will have a 6.0 LSX, th350, 5000 stall, and 4:10 gears
 
I would have loved to run my car and truck on a 1/4 mile instead of the 1/8. Neither were geared low enough to put up decent numbers but the local track was only 1/8 and after similar circumstances like Veteran with multiple tickets I had to go fast somewhere and legally!
I only raced 1/4 mile, when I stopped was just when they started the 1/8 mile stuff.
