While waiting for my APEX... I'll play with my OTHER toy...

[ApexGT2006]

What will you guys do this summer, any particular toys ????

 

[apexgt]

OK

Hi, I've got one too. Which kit did you use?

 

[ApexGT2006]

Factory Five Racing. 2305 pounds, 351W with lots of mods, 440-450HP. Tires still spin at 60MPH. It's fun enough to waith until next winter for my APEX.

RX1Tahoe, what brand is yours ?

 

[SoCoRX1]

time to buy Two 2006 Grizzly 660's for me

 

[Yakuza]

Beautifull car, love the color! I built mine 15 years ago. My first kit was from Classic Motor Carriages they went belly up. The second one, which I have now is from Classic Auto replicar, they went bankrupt too. I wish I bought a Factory Five first.

I also have a 351W pumped to 375HP. All black. What rear end do you have? Did you build it yourself or turnkey?

My red Apex Mtn is gonna match my boat !

 

[Mighty]

No kit here, the real thing from 1968

She's getting a new clutch in a few weeks to help harness her 450 horses

Love that car..

Mighty, I would have bought an original AC Cobra, but I was missing a little bit of cash... just $290,000 out of the $350,000US for an original '66 AC 427.

Tahoe, I have to say I was really pleased with Factory Five Racing, they sold over 5000 AC kits. I built it myself. From the frame up. You get so much satisfaction when you're driving it knowing that you did it by yourself... Probably more satisfying than buying a real 1968, anyone can do that (Mighty... kidding !!! )

 

[ApexGT2006]

Apexaholic, Yamaha aren't taboo... you still see many SRX's triples... Usually, guys in Quebec LOVE performance abd FAST sleds... not too say that an RX1 is not fast... but I guess we were all waiting for something a bit.... faster.
If Arctic Cat would've come out with a 1000cc this year in a CrossFire or else... I would've stayed true to Cat. But when I say the ApexGT... , I knew I just HAD to get me one o' those. I might HAVE to put some power adders to ride with my buddy's MachZ, but I have many many options, plus better fit and finish, plus a sled that you won't see many of them, plus Yamaha quality.

 

[ApexGT2006]

SIMICH,, I bought it when the exchange rate was not to bad (much better these days), and I had a budget of 35-37K. YEAH RIGHT!!!

Problem is to keep it real... by the time you want a fuel cell, coil over front and back, AutoMeter guages, polished intake,... you loose sight of your budget. As far as parts, body work, the engine build,... all together... aroung $58K (no labor cost on my part), evaluation $72K

 

[SIMMER]

Thanks....Yeah...that's why I asked. If you talk to the shops they will tell you one number and talk to the guys that build them and they will tell you it's higher.

I guess it's easy to get carried away with those things. One day....

I completely agree and was simply busting your balls. However, there is also satifaction knowing you are driving something original from the factory that is almost 40 years old and still will rock and roll with the best of them.
