Went outside to have a smoke...

[Kumacho]

I'm at work and myself and 2 co-workers when outside to have a smoke. The other two were doing the norm and talking about work matters. I was listening and added my 2 cents where appropriate.

In the middle of a girl saying something; I noticed a sleek black car turn a corner 4 blocks away. I could tell it was something exotic from that distance and I told her to be quiet for a moment as something more important was going on...

A sexy black 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia drove past where we are standing and she kept talking. I just ignored her, walked around the corner to drool more.

Neither one of them understood why I was so enamored by this car and even after I told them what it was and how much it costs, they were non-pulsed.

What a freeking sexy car! It sounded so hot!

[break3r]

Some people are like that. I was in the city eating at a restaurant that was outside next to a road and a Vantage drove by; baby blue %5 tint, and what looked like "21 chromes. My grandpa knew what it was!

[OE800]

yeah some people just dont get it. one time i was at a car show and noticed a mint condition 64 galaxie hardtop, and it had 427 bird badges on the fenders, and a side oiler under the hood. i walked closer and saw an "R" in the 5th character of the VIN number, it amazed me that no one else was paying any attention to the car, more people were looking at my mustang coupe than the R-code. kids these days :confused:

I've seen alot of scenarios like that. Where there is a car and everyone else is looking at the "Type" R

[car_boy_16]

Well I'm sure you realize that knowing what "R" means in the 5th character in the VIN is not something you'd expect many car enthusiasts to know know. If you showed me that "R", I wouldn't know how to react to it because I wouldn't know WTF it meant lol.

Kumacho, I wish I was there with ya to see that amazing car go! I also hate how people are lacking in any sort of emotional "ooh" or "oh my" when I point out a rare car like say an Audi Quattro Coupe, Impulse RS, Olds Achieva SCX (W41), or an Infiniti Q45a...they go 'oh whatever' or something along those lines. It infuriates me to a point where I feel foolish if I show them how peeved I am. Anyways, I know it's not quite the same as your Scuderia sighting but I understand the feeling. That has to be one of my favorite Ferrari's ever built.

Kinda hard to ignore the 427 fender badge though, the R just validates it.

Is that like a VTEC edition or what?

At least the stang is easy to spot. That shaker hood is always the first clue that it "might" be a R-code. I would kill for a '69 or '70 R-code with matching numbers.

Hell! If it were Pat I had to kill I would do it for a T-code stang...

[elliott678]

Hell! If it were Pat I had to kill I would do it for a T-code stang...Hmmm...I have a T code Mustang...

You sir, are a lier, and a gentleman!

[printithere]

i-VTEC actually.

[OE800]

i will up your offer to a C-code!

[ahaga]

wtf does the R mean?:dunce:

wtf does the R mean?:dunce:
It means it has a high compression 427 8V

Jackass, who are fuck are you telling an online forum that you would kill me for some mustang?

I'm already in bad mood, you just topped off the fucking icing you ignorant piece of shit.

[elliott678]

The offer still stands Kumacho ;)

Pot meet Kettle. Pat, if ignorance truly was bliss, you would be the happiest man alive.

Similar thing happed to me in Jersey last year.

There was some festival going on in St. Helier and while everyone there was listening to some crap jazz band i was busy masturbating over an old Jag in the car park that no one was paying attention too. I tried to encourage my girlfriend to take note by making her understand in the only way she can... Money. She considered £250k+ a waste of money and that her car was better because it was newer with mod cons. :banghead:

[OE800]

wow, is that a real 3.5 Litre?

[reptilian_storm]

As far as i could tell yes, it looked and sounded perfect. (Woman driver too)

The car being in Jersey where every man and his dog seems drive a Porsche or Aston and owns a yacht makes it more certain. :D

[OE800]

woman driver! wtf!?

over the summer i found an old dude with a stash of old british sports cars, he had a sunbeam alpine in the yard, a 1950 AC coupe, a 1948 hillman minx drop head coupe, a MGA, somekind of small woodie wagon looking thing that i dont know what it was, and an assortment of 4 door jags and for some reason citroen 2CVs. after i stopped and talked to him a few times he decided to show me his "old jaguar" in the barn, it was a 1938 SS Jaguar 3.5 DHC, i freaked when he offered it to me for $30k, i went back and looked it over a few more times, it had its correct 4 speed and 3.5 motor still in it, the 3.5 even turned over by hand with the crank, all the wire wheels were in decent shape, the body and frame were both very solid, but there was no chassis number on the frame or firewall, so with no ID numbers i was afraid to buy it. plus he said that it was originally a 2.5 litre car. sucks how close you can come sometimes...

That help or just confuse you more since some years an F-code was a 260 and later a varient of the 289 and an R-code 351 Boss and the 428 Cobra Jet R-code?

Most people mean the 428 Cobra Jet (in Mustangs) when they talk about an R-code Mustang though. But in this case he is talking about a 1964 427 which was also an R-code. Clear as mud huh?

[elliott678]

He was talking about a Galaxie though, so it would be a 427 8V.

LOL... Yeah, I edited before I saw your post. I got sidetracked talking about the Stangs and murder...

[elliott678]

Too bad those never made it into the Mustangs, a high riser 427 8V in something as light as a Mustang would be a hell of a ride. The 428CJ is nice, but they rated the 427 at 425hp @6000RPM, what they didn't says is that it doesn't stop making power until 7500RPM.

[OE800]

those codes are right, but there a mixture of different years.

[reptilian_storm]

. after i stopped and talked to him a few times he decided to show me his "old jaguar" in the barn, it was a 1938 SS Jaguar 3.5 DHC, i freaked when he offered it to me for $30k, i went back and looked it over a few more times, it had its correct 4 speed and 3.5 motor still in it, the 3.5 even turned over by hand with the crank, all the wire wheels were in decent shape, the body and frame were both very solid, but there was no chassis number on the frame or firewall, so with no ID numbers i was afraid to buy it. plus he said that it was originally a 2.5 litre car. sucks how close you can come sometimes...

You'll pay $100k+ for a good replica! I would have handed over 30k that very day.

I love smoke breaks at work(Pizza Hut), always see nice cars.

This guy gets out of a 300ZX twin turbo and picks up his pizza. He comes out, im like "clean car dude." He was like thanks, and drifted out of the parking lot for me. Another time I saw a fox body saleen. And last week I saw this, a GT500. I spooged.... Looked exactly like this.
