  1. Yeah, is it a traditional 'musclecar' if it's not V8 and RWD? Ford has the problem/advantage of not having a sports car like the Corvette and instead prefers to go head-to-head against the Camaro and Charger/Challenger. (Although since the GT500 is Ford's current 'halo' car - it often gets compared to Corvette or the GTR) Lots of rumors now swirling around the 2015 and there is a pretty good chance it will be significantly smaller/lighter. I am really hoping for something about 400 lbs lighter with the same kind of power - OMG).

  3. Very nice! I have an Olympic Arms 'pre ban' lower I've always been meaning to get around to building. Been meaning to get around to it since 1989.
  4. Some comment on YouTube. Somebody is always thinking.... "So if I spray this on my robe and walk through the sea it will just go to the sides??? " What if I treated my snowboard or water ski? What if I sprayed this on the hull of my speedboat?
  5. Wonder how long it would take them to build one of those? Needless to say I would be sending only a very very small deposit I noticed most of their website has not been updated since 2009. Not a good sign generally. I had their mirrors on my '07 GT. Very slick.
  6. Agent47 offers a fully finished roller called the Harbinger which is based on a '69 Dynacorn body: http://www.agentfortyseven.com/harbinger/harbinger_maintop_update2.jpg little pricey considering you are almost $70k in before adding the driveline but it looks like a lot of fun.
  7. Congrats baby! Results + No breakage! You need to put some captions on those pictures for us....
  8. I saw these cookies at work and thought of you guys.. http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb175/2007GTCS_2007/Columbus-20111013-00004.jpg
  9. Assume you are talking about the dbag that complained after all these *years* I agree.

    Bitcoins?

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2011/10/18/the-end-of-bitcoin-part-ii/ Interesting perspective.
  11. I couldn't do even one when I started. Tons of lat pull downs front and back build the primary muscles needed. Add some good free weight bicep work to improve your arm and grip strength and you'll be there.
  12. I had to go look this up. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_ERW_pipe
  13. Forgot to wash the engine by taking the air filter out and spraying the intake. What a half-assed job.
  14. Wonder if it's just a bored (or sleeved?) 5.4L or if they stuck 'Coyote' heads and programming on it? <drool>. Makes me almost feel sorry for the ZL1. Almost. Figure to make 30-40hp out of the displacement bump and then throw the TVS on top of that. 620 almost seems conservative. Of course, practically no one will leave it alone so we'll see 600+ whp cars with just a pulley and tune!
  15. Let's see: - lighter than the 'maro at 3200 lbs vs 3500ish. - more powerful at ~425 rwhp vs. 380. and that much slower? really? That's what I call $200,000 worth of fail.
  16. Thanks! The goal is to be able to post a 10 second time at some point (not willing to go through the work/surgery it would take to get to 9s). A set of slicks and some more practice days should get me there without further ado although I'd like to see how close I can get with the DRs. I'd like to be able to say I truly have a 10 sec street car (realize that in practical terms those bragging rights probably don't mean much).
