Besides my X100 XKR convertible and my X150 XKR coupe, my wife has a Lincoln MKX SUV, and I have a 1968 Pontiac GTO, a 1978 Datsun 280Z (owned since new), and my Sunday canyon carver, car show entry is my 1972 De Tomaso Pantera.
Currently my car stable contains :
2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR - Storm Grey Metallic w/ custom wheels & factory wheels, VAP Pulley, sport cat downpipes, and VAP tune
2019 Nissan Armada Platinum - Hermosa Blue w/ tan Leather loaded out
2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody - Triple Nickel Silver w/ 945 wheel horsepower and 830 ft lbs of torque - too many mods to list along with (3)custom wheel sets, carbon fiber hood and trunk lid, etc.
gg2684, What have you got there? It is either an '18 Hellcat Widebody or a '20 or newer Scat Pack from what I can see. Are you running E-85 or on 93 pump gas? If it's a Scat Pack you would have had to do an absolute ton of work to get to 1000 hp at the crank so I'm guessing 2018 Widebody Hellcat. When I tell people I have an F-Type SVR and a Redeye Widebody Hellcat they comment that they are very different cars. I couldn't agree more. I consider my Redeye a Sledgehammer and the SVR a Scalpel. They are both very fast and fun cars but get there in two totally different ways! If I want to carve country roads or take people off the stoplight the SVR is the ticket, if I want to cruise the highway, drag race at the track, or roll race in "Mexico" the Redeye is hard to beat, plus it has lots of room for luggage and even the kids!
1. 2018 F Type R
2. 2015 Lexus RX350
3. 2016 Chevy Volt
4. 2022 BMW 430i convertible.
the wife just got the BMW. we live in CA and everyone should have a convertible. it's pretty good. i'm surprised to have seen only a couple of other Lexuses mentioned. I really want a Lotus Emira...

So close - the plum crazy would tell you it’s a 2019 and it was born a 6.4L scat pack and yes, it was a complete build - all forged internals, Whipple blower, additional fuel pump, machined heads, balancer, custom cam, driveshaft, and torque converter as well as about 50 other things - the wheels are OEM though!!. Built to handle 1050 or so, but will do 940 on 100 octane and 16lbs of boost. I bought it from the original owner who started the build and thought it was a neat car. Current tune uses minimal boost and 93 octane to make 800hp which is more manageable considering I use it only to pick up pizza on Fridays - I like my food hot.
You’re correct, very different tools - which is why I like them. My others listed have their purpose too (i.e. winter travel, off-road, and hatchback for other hobbies) - couple kept offsite and rotated in/out.
When we were kids, the commercial said: “collect them all” - I’m not a baller like others on here; which is why I don’t do a lot of photos, but just hit my mid forties so I feel like I have plenty of time to keep my hot wheels dreams alive.
That's awesome and a great group of cars you have. We are close in age, I just turned 42 this last January. I was close on the guess about the Dodge, the aftermarket grill threw me off a little plus the horsepower figure. I know enough guys with Scat packs that getting to those numbers does take a lot of work indeed due to the engine internals that have to be changed. It's no simple slap a supercharger on there and maybe some injectors and go! It is a full-on build from top to bottom. I am out of garage space as it is but my parents have some space in a shop on their property nearby so who knows, another car might make it's way into the stable much to their dismay. If I do add another I think I'll further modify the Redeye to be a dedicated track/dragstrip/half-mile car with the full cage, etc. within a few years and buy a low-mileage one-elderly-owner '18 or '19 Mercedes AMG GT S (or R if I can figure a way to swing it financially) as my next street car. I don't plan on selling the Jaguar anytime soon that's for sure. Like the Mercedes AMG GT, I think the F-Type SVR is a car that will definitely appreciate in value over the next ten years due to the low production numbers. And now that Mercedes has quit building the AMG GT, high condition low-mileage examples are going to climb rapidly in value within the next 5 years I think. One more little story in regards to buying the SVR, I originally had a C8 Corvette on order for over a year. It was with a dealer that was just charging sticker is the only reason I went with him and put a deposit down. After having the deposit for over a year he sends me a text saying "sorry but I'm not getting as many cars as I thought I was going to so if you want the car it's fine but I am going to have to add 10k to the price". I told him where he could shove it and that led me to buying the SVR instead! I'm glad I bought the SVR instead of the C8 Corvette, everyone seems to have one these days and I would have been pissed that I had a regular C8 when the Z06 versions roll out.

The car was built by National Speed and they are an amazing operation. The cam makes it sound like it’s about to stall out while idling but the tach never moves off of 900 rpm, and the blower sounds like full-on Mad Max. I have tons of documentation including tune files, photos, and receipts etc for literally everything including the floor mats. The motor work came in around $39k and with the misc extras it was likely in the $44k total build cost. I love custom and having a car with a wide range of tuning and performance options is awesome, but if I were ordering a Challenger, I would have likely got a demon. In this case, I found it looking for something else and never considered one but I really liked the color and figured I could get a little enjoyment out of some investment earnings. Plus, the build was awesome and I wasn’t really paying for the initial modifications, and I got all the OEM parts which I sold for about $4k - that will cover the Gesi Sport Cats when they ever come available again. It was an impulse buy and I figured I could flip it if I hated it, but it’s actually a lot of fun. I have had some nice cars and most are customized so no stranger to getting comments and thumbs up etc, but nothing gets attention like that thing - it’s like a rolling car show - young, old, men and women, and literally everywhere we go - it’s crazy.
The Jag is an amazing machine but I also have a few others that work well too...just really enjoy racing quite a bit. I have built my Supra to 1,700hp and my Viper is 1,200hp. Lamborghini is more of my road race car so it just has light mods done to it. 2 new lifts will be installed soon so I can get my Gwagen back into my main garage as it's in my shop garage now.

TT_6SP_95, that is one hell of a garage man. I love every single car you have there, particularly that Supra. What a super clean build with no tacky BS on it. I also love the gold Vossen wheels on your Gallardo. Its a good combo with the yellow paint that you don't see too often. I'm not sure how long you have owned the ACR but what a great investment that was. I didn't think they would appreciate as quickly and as much as they have. My only (albeit unsolicited) suggestion would be to treat your F Type to a fitting set of aftermarket wheels! It's gotta feel left out!

Thanks! Trust me, I've been looking for the right wheels for the Ftype but it takes time to find that perfect set! It took me a while to decide on what to get, but I ordered the custom Vossens through KCTrends in Kansas City. Great shop out there for sure!
I've had the 1999 GTS ACR since around 2010...only had around 5k miles on it.

Well then you have done VERY well on the '99 GTS ACR having owned it for ten years! I know what you mean on finding the right wheels for the Jaguar. I went between a set of PUR's that I really liked and the B-Forged that I ended up buying for a month or two. The other tricky thing is finding a company that knows what they are doing that can build the wheel properly for the F-Type. Many of the wheel companies I spoke with had never done a set for an F-Type SVR or R for that matter. Both the PUR and B-Forged wheels were about the same money 8k to 10k per set. Below are the PUR wheels that I originally wanted except in a gloss gunmetal center and polished lip. However, once I spoke to them the technical guy there said that they had changed this pattern to have slightly wider spokes to make them stronger, which put me off of them as that was the only feature they had that I liked better than the B-Forged. At that point I went with the B-Forged due to their superb reputation and being made in the U.S.A. rather than Canada. I'm sure either wheel would be excellent.
