i really like the look very nice. unfortunate that you couldnt hide the intercooler piping.

the 4g63 is a dohc motor, if i remember correctly. im not sure the term "shortblock" applies here, in the usual sense. edit: id probably take it to slowmotion, as well.

thats frickin great!

oh, and for the record, your past history with the english language caused me to read the title of this thread as "any vets (war veterans) on here? experience with (amnesia)?" i had no idea what to expect in this thread.

yeah thats what i thought. i forgot to notice that they were only revving to like 3500.

i dont even want to know what lesson taught you that. my ex's dad has a serval, and that thing scraps with their st bernard all the time. its straight up comedy to see it happen. if your cat is half as quick as that one, i dont envy you the task of trying to do anything it doesnt like.

it may have been shawn. the owner of our company has one of those. nice car.

mayhaps i am stupid and just reading the graphs wrong, but shouldnt the torque and hp lines cross at some point in those early graphs?

and a ford. *oh snap!*

its a lot easier to avoid an accident when youre out in front of it. fuck that guy. maybe he was just trying to get, maybe he was being a douchebag, he got exactly what he wanted except that he lost. if you drive a lightning, and you roll up next to a gto at a light with intentions, then it HAS to be on. if the guy in the gto would have done anything but own him, the truck drivin fool would have told the story like he wanted to go but some pussy ass gto driver was skurred. fuck that guy. i do everything i can to keep people from rollin over in front of me to make a turn.

if you look close, you can still see some of the silicone we plastered all over that thing...

two words, "torque steer".

maybe its your continual need to respond that has me unconvinced. <shrug>

no backpedaling here. youre still stupid. at some point, youll just be stupid with a fast car. weve seen those guys before, too. for the record, cr thinks youre stupid, too. despite what the lady may say. wait a sec, did i miss something? oh, my bad, i guess i read that wrong. you would never pass judgement over the internet, right?

rob, youre putting words in my mouth. i said all i knew of you was what you are on cr, so thats the only info i have to base any opinion of you on. if youre any different in person, theres no way for me to know that. thorn says youre cool. you may very well be. i have yet to see it. dont get defensive about money, rob. you brought it up. i was perfectly happy making fun of you for other stuff. for the record, my income will be just a little less than 80k this year, if things stay right where they are. the goal, however, is for things to not stay where they are. heres hoping you get your car together. despite my low opinion of you, i totally support cr having more fast cars.

well, bill, its unfortunate that hes chosen to act ignorant via the web. you of all people should know that i dont mind giving people chances. youd be suprised what i make hawking cell phones all day, son. and if youd like to compare rolls, im down for that too. i cant remember the last time i posted on cr asking for financial help, can you? quick, someone tell me whats funny about that.

initially my issue with you was that you were stupid. i kind of hoped it would get better, but it hasnt, and now youre not only stupid, but arrogant about it. nice combo. i didnt say you should act any way other than normal on here. no need to put up a facade. if youre a jerk, be a jerk. if youre a pothead, be a pothead. if youre smart, be smart. nothing complicated or fake about that. me, im a jerk. everywhere i go. if i told you i raced, would you believe me? not that it matters much, but i do. get your car together, and ill even race you...two lanes over. you wouldnt be the first 1000+ hp car id run against on the street.

to quote a wise man, "breaking shit is just an excuse to make it better"

obviously, they arent cheap. but at an expense like that, youd think that "wearing it out" wouldnt be possible in just one weekend, unless you did nothing but quarter mile pulls all weekend long. i cant say that i know much about that particular motor, but i have to say, if im plunking down 25 grizzle, it fucking better last me a little while. of course i judge people on "teh intarweb", its not like i know you personally. i cant understand why people would be any different on here than in person, so why should i form a different opinion of them. ask anyone who knows me, im the same guy here as i am in person. chris green is ok in person, but hes a douchebag on here. i treat him like a douchebag all the time, because i dont seperate this shit. *shrug* be who you are all the time, and you shouldnt have issues with it. as far as taking it somewhere else goes, im pretty sure thats what i was trying to convey to the "crazylady" who posted earlier. with all the money youre about to drop on this car, i wasnt sure youd be able to pony up for triple a, so i thought id offer. my bad.

btw, wheres my etf? 25k doesnt buy you a very durable motor, apparently.

who i am is irrelevant to this conversation. i know rob from here only, which explains my low esteem of him. if i ever need rob to do something for me, ill remember that. the chances are astronomically low that well find ourselves in that situation, however. besides, i even offered to bring the triple a!

when is the etf on this?

on the contrary, ill be waiting with baited breath for you to bring out this monster that you are bulding. ill even bring my triple a card.

fat chance. if no one wants to race you, itll have more to do with you than the car.

werd. i cant help but have a negative expectation, given recent experience.
