So I'm looking to get into a sedan to replace the Cobra sometime soon here, and I'm kinda torn over the choice out there. Looking to stay under 60k if I can - so that leaves out the BMW M5. Being spoiled with the Cobra, I also want at least 400hp, so that leaves out the M3. I'm kinda circling around the CTS-V. But there's also that SRT-8, which seems abit porky to me, and the Mazda AWD sedan - which is down on power. Just wondering what people on here would buy. Want to make sure I'm not missing some option I should be looking at. Oh one last thing - not looking to get into a WRX or an EVO. While they're competent cars, and I've test drove both from new car lots, they are too, er, how to put it, they're not for me. I've driven the new Subaru (Legacy?) and it left me limp so I know that one's not for me either. Ideas appreciated.

I think they pulled that plastic grill right off a basement dehumidifier, and that black plastic crap glued onto the ass? WTF is that? This thing is 4 steps down from the stock car. Saleens have NEVER looked good. None of them. Ever. EVAR! THOSE FUKKING ASSTASTIC GRAPHICS ON THE SIDE HAVE GOT TO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Branding? More like cattle cauterizing. Hello Saleen, 1986 called, it wants its styling back.

Dude with the AK needs to learn to get his spray down. Crap grouping.

$70,00 - $80,000 ? I reverse my original opinion, you can keep it. Yes I know you can't buy a better performing car at that pricepoint, but I'm not paying $80k for any vette. ...course this means the chances of the CTS-V getting the LS7 are slimming down. Damn shoulda bought that 04 CTS-V in Dec at Chesrown... Crap n stuff

The M3s tend to blow up their engines real nice. You have entirely too much hair to buy the vette. The SRT-10s are graemlins/supergay2.gif Get the 02 GTS.

And once again - no I'm not a recruiter, but I need folks for a couple of my projects and a couple of these are not my projects but I'm in a scratch-your-back-they'll-scratch-mine position with them so I'm helping them out too: Here they are, if you can do any of these, send me a PM / resume: --------------------------------- 1. 39 data Warehouse Consultants at Nationwide. There is a variety of roles that they need. They need to have Informatica and Teradata skills for all of them. They range from Architects to modelers to developers to testers to conversion personnel. 2. Senior Vignette Consultant - Must have Vignette V7 and strategic Architecture background. 3. Developer - C, SQL, AS400. 4. QA/Test Analyst - J2EE, DB2, Test Q/A, AIX, HP, Websphere, Unix. 5. Technical Writer. 6. Developer - Hyperion Essbase, SQL, Oracle. ------------------ And let me say this again also: if you want to make real money in Columbus, hell anywhere in Ohio, learn C#. It is so hard to find good C# people right now its disgusting - I know of one C# developer position in Cincy that went for $120k. Salary. For a Developer. C++, java, VB - you're looking at half that. Java's a little better, but the shortage of US citizen C# people at the moment is disgusting. Its all H2 and visa holders.

Evo you have a PM

Anyone that knows C++ and has some time on their hands, and is interested in a really ground floor opportunity please PM me immediately. This can be an "after hours / at home" type thing to start off that has a HUGE potential to take off, but we're under a time crunch.

linkie no workie

That'd be true, if it was stock. Hope you're well into single digits, so its interesting for me. Too bad. Cause an 8second ride would give me a problem. But only about a second's worth of problem. Looking forward to it. Where's this happening btw? Is it sort of all over?

Fixed

graemlins/lol.gif WAAAAAAY more than a Porsche 911 Turbo.

Hmm - watched the vid, and to my dumbass ears it sounds like they liked it. They really wanted to hate it - like all the nippon drivin nancyboys on here want to - and yet... Went on the "cool wall". (loved the groans of the crowd too - damn europe hates america right now - I LOVE IT) Actually - I agree with everything they said. Too bad they won't test the upcoming Cobra.

I'll bite - on the 11

WOW they must be short. Because he's towering over them, and he's a short dude isnt he?

Not surprised. Saw that coming from al Jazeera.

The Discovery channel also does shows about the Loch Ness Monster. Efficiency != Power Show me exactly where and who tested the Biefeld-Brown field effect in a pure vacuum. I am genuinely curious. An experiment by members of the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) - I'm also a member - was done, and they published in the journal (1 February 2004, vol. 42, no. 2) a report of thier experiements in vacuum and concluded the Biefeld-Brown field effect is actually a misinterpretation of Corona Wind. Being an Aero engineer myself that closed it for me. Here's a quick synopsis: [ 29. December 2004, 05:46 PM: Message edited by: Mowgli ]

Guys, my wife's dutch. We go there twice a year to visit her family. Every year. Been going for the past 7 years without miss. Trust me. There are damn near as many fat-ass Europeans as Americans. However they are fanatically desperate not to believe so. [ 29. December 2004, 04:34 PM: Message edited by: Mowgli ]

Like lightsails. When everything else is zero, even teeny thrust becomes a factor..... It would be cool if something like this existed in useable quantities, but I don't think this is it. However, I *do* believe there is hope for reactionless thrust. Once we truly figure out gravity (quanta interaction, waves, space curvature, pixie dust, WhateverItIs) - which we still don't fundamentally understand, then we'll know better what to push against. smile.gif

They didn't do it in a vacuum. They couldn't have. Its been shown by others experimentally that in a vacuum there's no measurable thrust at all for any device using the Bieman-Brown field effect. The conclusion being either 1) there's no effect at all - it doesn't exist 2) its so small its worthless - meaning previosu measurements of this possible additional effect were in fact measurement errors of the ion wind effect. As far as I'm concerned I'm not going to say it doesn't exist as an effect. But I can say that at best we know the biggest it can be is still smaller than the vacuum experiments used to test it could measure, which is extremely miniscule.

Some good entertainment there, but its misleading. Of course, for the $29 cost of a CD you too can have all the details. In short this thing is flying from the same ionizing effects used in these air purifiers. http://images.sharperimage.com.edgesuite.net/all/en/images/products/si637snx_pip.jpg We've got two of these type puppies in our house and if you put your hand in front of it you can feel the breeze. Enough there to easily lift their balsa-wood and tinfoil models. The Biefeld-Brown field effect thrust they spend a lot of verbage on on that webpage to say thats where their thrust is coming from is a load of hooey in this application. "In other words, the Biefeld-Brown effect would create thrust by pushing against the fabric of space itself, and as a result would require no propellant to function -- making it a highly-interesting potential method of creating thrust." ..yeah, so? We're talking several orders of magnitude less thrust than the air movement. The air movement isn't an enhancement as they want you to believe - it IS the real thrust here. In a vacuum this thing would go nowhere. Their thrust is coming from the air. Anyhoo, the Biefeld-Brown effect is still an interesting potential phenomenom, but its not even been proven to exist, its thrust force hasn't been isolated from other effects well enough to me measured, much less its having a real practical application, and people have been trying for years. Go here to read a good treatment of it. Also, amazingly, for once, the Wikipedia entry for something doesn't completely suck. Here's the wiki entry for it. [ 29.

Come to France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. I'll show you fat chicks out the ying yang.

Do they finally have the 03 Cobra in it, or the 2nd Gen Eclipse WITHOUT the gay ass smiley front end? No? Fuck em then.

The Winner
