    More new guys?

    because we were of course it all happend on a closed course . . . in japan. i never saw that crx in person though. Oh, SHIT, look at the 6th post . . .LMFAO http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8319
  2. to answer your question, yes i would love mustangs even if they were made by honda, but honda doesn't make supercharged v-8's.
  3. because this isn't the hardcore streetracing scene that the news is showing, the big boys arent running thier mouths on messageboards with 16 second (maybe) civics.
  4. corrected . . . i still have the video on my compy
  5. that car is retarded.
  6. i would call it even on that department, the GTO is easier to work on than the f-bodys but the mustangs still are very wrench friendly.
  7. Question for the LS fans out there, from what i see the 6.0L GTO are kinda slow because they are so damn heavy, i like the engine bay and how they appear to be more friendly to work on but for me the wieght is a big issue. Is it possable to get a gto down to a more managble transmarobird wieght without sacrificing alot? (aka strieght axle swap?) Coming from the ford camp, wieght is just as important in going fast in a strieght line as HP, also makes it easier on driveline parts. in Final, is buying an f-body and sacrificing the .3L/and ease of of wrenchablility worth it for the wieght advantage over the GTO?
  8. The last thing the modular motor needs is more stroke. the dimensions are roughly 3.55" x 3.55" compared to the 5.0 4" x 3" I understand the longer stroke is so make more torque out of the smaller diplacement, but building HP in a smaller displacement engine means turning higher RPM, more RPM = more piston speed and less longevity. the 5.0 is actually dimensionally better equipt for higher rpm as far as bore/stroke ratio vs. the modular, it just doesn't have 4 valves to do it. The modular as we have it currently can't be bored much over .020 before needing re sleeved, if they would have used a OHC design and left the bore and stroke identical to the 5.0 we would be looking at a nasty N/A motor even with the 2 valve OHC heads. All this is also ignoring another aspect of the evil smaller bore V8. valve shrouding

    This chic??

    too much booty for this white boy.
  10. I totally agree, this was my favorite story by S.K. It followed the book very well . . . i even liked the ending. The book ended just before they ran out of fuel commenting on how his dad always hated stories with open endings. The one thing i hated was that if you put 35-40 people in a building in a small town, you may have that one Zealot, but there would be many more fair minded christians to put that one in thier place. But it's a movie, and knowing kings left leanings, i understand where his assumptions come from. He's still my favorite (living) author.
  11. Ya i was going to say, if you want to go to the track 400-450hp will make for a pretty trap speed but without a good suspension and driveline will be wasted money. with that much power you need at least drag radials, then a clutch or an axle is going to go after a while, even with stock power. Once the rearend is solid and you have a good clutch , time to eliminate that wheel hop, control arms & shocks, you s hould really reinforce the tourque boxes at this point. Weld in a set of subframe connectors. You have about you have spent about 2500 if you do most of the work yourself but at this point you have a good foundation for around 400HP, the good news is you should be in low 13's with all this without touching the motor. by the way, speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

  16. +1 for waiting till you get out of school and have a real job, use your extra cash on having fun and being a college student. Once your out . . . it sucks.

    Proof please, there are plenty of credible Scientists both for and against Global warming that say that our climate ahas changed 1-2 degrees over the past 100 years, not 5. Also "Several" degrees would be enough to raise ocean levels to a point that it would be seriously threaten coastal cities. you sir are talking out of the wrong end of your person.

    i wish they would put it in a G5, ther pontiac version looks much beter IMO. Of course i'm partial i have a G5 GT 2.4L and i can attest that it handles like a champ.
  19. judas prist, never liked them. Quite an ominous song indeed. I really like the song, "alchohol and ass" would you like to talk about that as well.

    IMO: Global warming does exist - humans have nothing to do with it. Acid rain does exist - humans fucked up. There are some things we need to do to preserve what natural gifts this world has, but handcuffing every man, woman and child into a lifestyle of treehugging becuase of a fucking THEORY is bullshit.
