Inspiration for 740s

There's a thread full of sweet 240's so why not start one for the 740s
what 740s got you happy and inspired and wanting to get your project done

this is the video that got my cup of 740s started for me

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SbHEPbS9ZeU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SbHEPbS9ZeU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I show that video to all the nonbelievers.

My first Volvo was an free white '87 745. I was looking at 245's and Subaru wagons before my first daughter was born. I ended up with that car and it was all over.

Well, I like my 744 tic so here are some crappy iPhone pictures:

yeah i know about the foglights..they were trashed when I got the car, and I removed them after I had the bumper fixed and repainted.
and heres the engine as it sits now, new turbo and IC going in very soon:

Its not that nice but damn it is low for a 740!!

More inspiration please, I need to to repair the 744...

Doug's car is pretty sweet.

look up shs performance in youtube and be amazed.

that is my motivation, been that way from the start. my car is slowly making its way toward the same sort of power. just been a slow(er) than normal process.

That burgandy one is hot.

Chigga's car is a major inspiration for my 760.

Mine, every time I drive it, see it parked in the distance, or even watching it rolling down the road in the reflection of a building or the side of another car

my car doesn't look like other cars.

At the risk of sounding self serving, i love watching my car roll slow by a window. It just looks cool, white rims look neat rolling slow. Something about it.

I watched some big block mustang blow down what had to be a low low 9 or high 8 second pass and thought "damn, I wanna do that".

maybe in a few years.
