Cars that get you all hot and bothered

[Beej]

Oh shit a white one.

[ScottyB]

how 'spensive are these LS-swapped 5 series wagons? my brain says no, but my man parts say yes.

[SlimKlim]

They say you need at least $10k to swap one into a miata or E36, I would assume roughly the same thing for an E39. You could probably get a donor car for $3-4k, and then you'd drop another $5k or so on wheels, suspensions, bushings, and nice cosmetic bits, because the 525i non-sport you used for a donor would definitely not look like one of those things on the previous page.

Daily driven, 9-second CTS-V

This is actually my 3rd CTS-V and easily the most enjoyable car I've ever owned. Fully optioned car, AC Recaros, auto, suede everywhere, the works. Full weight, quiet on the inside while cruising, all options still in the vehicle and working. Stock short block/trans/driveshaft/rear end, all that stuff is still present. Its actually a very basic build up that works great for daily driven use! This thing still uses the stock fuel pumps, lines, everything in the stock fuel system with the exception of ID850's. We've managed to get 17mpg out of it with mixed highway/city driving, on a regular basis due to my driving its around 15mpg realistically though, which for the power and luxury IMO is great.

-9.5/2.55 pulley combo
-102mm Ported blower and Snout
-102mm throttle body
-4.5" intake
-ID850's
-Fluidyne oversized Heat Exchanger
-Norcal oversized blower reservoir

-stock heads ported by WCCH

-Nitrous Outlet spray bar setup built into factory blower
-Nitrous Outlet dedication fuel system for the nitrous kit
-custom painted black trim/grills/tail lights/3rd brake light
-V2V designs front splitter
-KW Variant 3 Coilovers
-Escort 9500 radar/jammer built into the vehicle and hidden 100%

Minus the dumb ass skinnies on a DD, that car is full of win.

Plus that idle would get quite annoying after one trip to the mall. Awesome build though.

The cam is annoying, or the exhaust is too loud for ya? Two different things. The symphony emitting from the tailpipes of that car may be a little loud and obtrusive to some because of the sewer drain sized exhaust piping and basically no mufflers...but the sound of an American V8 doing it's thing with a high lift, long duration cam is music to my ears. :mrgreen:

32V concerto :twisted:

That's what I'm talking about right there. I love a fast and loud LS engine like the next guy, but nothing sounds better than a cammed Mustang with an aggressive exhaust. I miss mine

[JPolen01]

Maybe you didn't notice the widebody. I think it's saw to assume the motor isn't stock.

With that kind of panel gap? I don't think it's saw to assume anything.

[JPolen01]

Uhh use your new LASIK robot vision to check out the recessed gas door.

[JustinG]

Also looks like 2 different shades of white. And the panel gap on the front bumper is worse than the hatchpile, which is fastened by zip ties.

And are those my zipties or do you have to replace them every other time you drive it on the street?
