Posted December 11, 201014 yr Like the title says. im looking for a project ride to build a retarded system in. i am looking to compete a little so i want to put good numbers. I am NOT looking for a tahoe/yukon for clear reasons. there is already one out there... i have 4 saz3ks and im going with 4 SSA subs. either 4 18s or 4 15s if need be. I have a 4k-$5k budget for the new ride. i wanted a 94-96 caprice wagon but i cant seem to find a clean one for a reasonable price around here. big body cars in houston are all bought or beat up.
December 11, 201014 yr If the wagon style is what you are after how bout a chrysler magnum?? I'm not a chrysler guy but I have allways liked the lines of it.
December 11, 201014 yr Author If the wagon style is what you are after how bout a chrysler magnum?? I'm not a chrysler guy but I have allways liked the lines of it.Since i am more of a speed guy than a DB guy, i wanted to do a 155mph/155DB build. the caprice with a LT1 was my first choice for that
December 11, 201014 yr I like the Caprice wagons as well but I know even were I'm at they are hard to come by. 155 MPH/SPL !! I want to ride in and hear that!!
December 11, 201014 yr Author I like the Caprice wagons as well but I know even were I'm at they are hard to come by. 155 MPH/SPL !! I want to ride in and hear that!! All my buddies back home had impalas/caprice sedans so i know what there capable of, and with that huge ass i could fit 4 18s
December 11, 201014 yr Author CRX will be the easiest to get that loud and keep some performance.Been there, done that... it turned into a lexan drag car. low 12s all motor
December 11, 201014 yr With a pair of 15's and some good power CRX style, you've got a 150, with testing it'll get up there.I dunno any other vehicle that can get that loud and that fast on the same time, unless you buy the Space Shuttle
December 11, 201014 yr Author crx dosent have enough gears or balls to hit 150 mph. maybe with an turbo and an integra ls tranny but then it would take a year to get there. i had one for years but keep the suggestions coming. im not shooting anything down yet.
December 11, 201014 yr Author Im looking for something to 4 18s or 4 15s in. a 240 or a crx will not fit the bill.
December 11, 201014 yr I suggested in my last post, how bout the space shuttle? It's already airtight to hold teh pressure
December 11, 201014 yr Are you wanting to avoid a wall?If not wall a police interceptor crown vic, mine tops out at 140 stock, and cruises 120 all day as stable as drivin 60 mph.
December 11, 201014 yr How about a blow through? 5.3 GM with one of these bad ass mother fuckers on it would give you right at 500hp on fairly low boost.Soooo BadassIf you do this, I will hate you!
December 11, 201014 yr My preference and yes you can really make these ripIn M form (I'd do a normal 535 and add forced induction for budget purposes)2nd choice and no they weren't available that wayIf you are a bowtie fan (the other two options are way better) you can go this routeTurn it into a Buick Impala SS+ if you will.Definitely not Blazers, will give you the space and can easily meet your other goals. The easiest chassis to get where you need it to will be the E34 BMW by a long shot. Probably the cheapest parts as well.

December 11, 201014 yr Author @ ///M5. if i could find the buick wagon for a reasonable price i would get it in a heartbeat. i cant say ive ever seen an SHO wagon but im interested. i had a buddy with an SHO that smoked my 04 GT 5 speed.
December 11, 201014 yr There were no SHO wagons, you'd have to do that yourself. Had a couple SHO's myself including one that was rather ridiculous. Would be cheap to slap together though.The easiest of the bunch would be the Bm'er though and yes I am biased, but it is for GOOD reasons. That era is ultra cheap and can be made to rip. Hell if you wanted a small block would fit in rather easily.

December 11, 201014 yr If it weren't for the 155mph part (though with today's available mods it might be possible) I would recommend something completely different, like a retired Ambulance??
