    Prices out here in AZ are still pretty high for V-Sports they seem to be more rare than even the Chevy SS. I definitely plan on test driving one in the next month or so.

     

    I see a few ever week up here. Production numbers have to be WAY higher than the SS

    Well, this swap is part of an interesting article one of our magazines will be doing and I helped on.

     

    We are going to do something about crazy engine swaps or trolling engine swaps. Some of these ideas we came up with are funny, crazy, scary, and downright awful.

     

     

    Find me sponsors and I'll do it. You guys can cover it. :)

    .

    Which is also why Cadillac's marketing sucks. If R&T does an article on the car - even in reference to used ones being a great value - wouldn't you put something on your website or ask to repost it in an ad when they give you praise?!?

     

    :

     

     

    Right now, you can get a new V sport for 61k. V New for 87k. Used V sport for 20k and a V for 50k same year same miles. Maybe Caddy didn't want to advertise that your not getting much more than a motor and bumpers for the 40% price bump?

    Its Wild, you can get one for 20k, literally. Intakes, Downpipes and a Tune and yoru close to V power. Cheapest V in the country right now is 50k!!!!

     

    This is the next 535i in Adult sleeper performance.

    Picked up 43 MPH!? Not 4.3? Holy shit!

     

    Yes, and that's not on "kill". Ill put up the slip when i get back form Florida.

     

    Im honestly on the fence with downsizing the turbo. Without a trans that can reliably NLTS at 10k+, I just cant use this power band. Considering my options moving forward...

    Also look at the Chinese made cameras. I have several from several different MFGs and they all do image stabilization, 1080p, and 4K, and every one of them was under $100 with accessories. The one I just got from microcenter was like $40 on sale.

     

    Link?

  12. What is your preferred exercise?

    As you mentioned- change is diet is 85% of the fight with fat. Props on your progress.

     

    With my schedule and the time I want to spend with my kids, I only get to the Gym 3, maybe 4 days a week. I only do weight work in the Gym. Any and all of my cardio is else ware and minor-weather it be a bike ride with the kids, hike, or B ball game with friends. I dont obsess about food or actual protein intake. I just eat- and avoid the shit. (IE big bag of chips at 10pm) I also dont drink pop as a preference. After you go without it for a while, it tastes like your legit drinking syrup.

     

    I still do a triathlon every year so the month before I will ramp up actual cardio to prepare.

    How'd this monster do at SloMo's drag day?

     

    10.4@149 missing 3rd, on 3 attempts lol.

     

    Next pass it broke 3rd gear shift for completely. :( its sitting in the garage, stuck in 4th

     

    Only good news is it picked up 43mph on the back half the first run.

  15. Standalone-izing LS harnesses

    The Temi X is an unreal value. As atuner, I cant tell you how many issues I run into due to old shitty wiring and connections. Not even a year ago people where paying over 1k for a nice harness. Now, you get a new harness, Stand alone ECU, and fuse box for $999. NUTS

  16. New ride, finally settled on a truck.

    The warranty is one big difference, if I don't mod it further, and I don't have to tell you of all people about the fun of a sleeper.

    Oh trust me, I dig the hell out of this!!! Great pick up. :)

     

    If you can show me where I can get a complete blower setup installed and tuned for that much, they've got my money.

     

     

    I honesty don't know what he paid. Only pricing I saw as on the Cadillacs and it was a 30k option

    Is Bruce’s still fs!?

     

    Bruce's is an 06- smaller motor, less powa, more likely to have IMS failure

    And 9k more which should put this in perspective.

     

    do it

    then 4g63 swap it

     

    Not this one!

     

     

    It’s been wrecked per carfax at least once .

    Also wholesale values on them are about 7-9,000

     

    Find me one for 9k non salvage and running, anywhere, please :)

     

    Seriously though, did you zoom in on the dash pic? This thing has 134,862 miles on it. Holy crap that's a ton of miles.

     

    My BMW is about to turn 160k and is way nicer, faster, and a better drive than the NEW Ford rental I had yesterday. Its a toy and I can turn a wrench. If I trust the car miles dont matter.

     

    A good friend of mine is sales manager for a Porsche dealer and he chooses to drive a base Cayman which should tell you something about how good they really are.

     

    good to know.

     

     

    Well when I was looking at 911s I considered a cayman, but then my son was doing research and found out they are more expensive to maintain because of the mid-engine design

     

    Good to know

     

    You have a 420 whp awd sedan daily, a 580 whp weekend sports car, and a 875 whp awd shitbox racecar. I’m just not seeing the appeal in a 134k mile 10 year old base model entry level Porsche. You move to the beat of your own drum though, fire away.

     

     

     

    For the wife really. And for me once a month. ;)

    Why Im lookin'

     

    I like Caymans. Every time I see one, I love it. This would a "wheels and done" DD

     

    Wants-

     

    09+ Mo engine, Mo Powa, Supposedly no IMS problems like olders years.

     

    This car is mis listed. Listed as an Auto- has a 6 speed so I think its flying under the radar. the next cheapest 09+ is going for 23k!! What would CR do?
