A WIP sneak peek at the Centauri Cyclone GT, a hot seller back in 1966 among the Gasmein racing enthusiasts.
Might as well present the car that Sebastian Machado the Third will be driving, a car designed by his old man the moment Grandpa passed away.
The FMU Cacique Mk1 was the first attempt at “playing with the big boys” by Fmu and either in sedan or coupe form, is a classic car that made it all the way to the early 90s coming with different engines along the way, the key to its sucess was the performance and comfort unheard of from many of the local offerings, thanks to the hydropneumatic suspension and the 4.7 (or optional 5.5) liter V8
The Storm Captain was one of Gasmea’s best sellers in 1974. The best selling of the Captain line was the V6 LE, pairing a V6 with the rather practical 4-seater coupe.
It’s kinda the jack of all trades. Designed to be a little fun, a bit practical, a car for the average family, with an engine that didn’t guzzle gasoline. There were a few more engine options than just the V6, but the V6 sold the most. Something to do with “the V8 costs too much” and “The four-cylinder isn’t fun enough.”
The suspension is primitive, but it didn’t have to be anything overly special back in the day. It was never meant to be a race car. Which is precisely why Luke of Storm Automotive needed to make one sporty enough to race it.
This is, of course, a Work in Progress while I work to make the car a little better where I can in Stock Trim.
any more participants?
I was planning on working on one this weekend.
Depends a bit on the information given. What are we supposed to make these cars for? Just for show or is there some sort of competition going to happen?
I’m likely to forward a model from Armada, based on the model I submitted to the beta’s competitor pack. Light sport was my specialty!
Okay, My 1966 Cyclone GT trim is set, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to sell at least 1000 of them now. here’s a look at the developing modern Prostreet trim. I’m gonna keep my motor i think, that old engine can really rip with a good efi system, a 69mm turbo and 20+psi of boost.
How should we be naming these and when do you want them by?
Erm… I think your company would be hearing from Mercury’s lawyers
At this point several of my models share names with Mercurys, I didn’t plan it that way but honestly I’ve stopped caring, they had awesome names and they don’t have an account on this forum yet.
Touche`
Definitely keeping my punchy little V6. Little bit of turbo, some compression changes, and going to fuel injection has made a good motor out of it.
As for mine, I’m almost positive I could have sold a thousand of the V6 LE, and I’m working on the modern trim to get this modest little family car into racing trim.
dont present your modified versions yet!
Just the exterior, not the stats
I am using a crate Thyphoon, a mofo tractor engine 6.2 Liters of it.
Trying to decide if I want to keep the gloss white or try for a midnight blue. Such a hard decision.
NOt even, Seba machado is a very rich man who will pay for the hotel rooms in Montevideo (hotel will be in the old town) while everyone work on their cars in the Ybarra facilities, as they have the best machine shops in the country
Boss Motorsports is proud to present the Boss Bullet GT. What would be the inspiration for the Boss 499, this car was designed to be cheap and ready for tuning and modification. What’s the draw to the buyers? Well that’s Boss’s flagship Boss 432 Big Block. We crammed all 500 HP into this lightweight car making it more than capable to own the racetrack. The suspension and aero of the GT version are left in a state that is completely free to tuning by the driver for track purposes, while still being a road-going vehicle. The interior is bare bones for the most lightweight and pure drive possible from the Bullet GT. Now, in 2015 we look forward to gutting our slimmed down Boss Bullet GT and beefing it up with modern goodies sourced from the Boss 499, while modernizing the Boss 432 Motor to make a truly monstrous blast from the past.
Nice! somebody upped the ante! I hope you can make it not to thirsty in modern mode
Hey, Manche, when do you want us to send you the files?
