  1. If they are the same price, I'd take the GT. But if the NSX is 140k, and the GT is near 200k, Im taking the NSX all day.
  2. So, are you saying it takes more energy to build a hydrogen bomb, than the energy released at its detonation? Just and example as food for thought.
  3. Any word on MSRP vs the GT?
  4. I'm sure the civic was spinning even harder. It looks like he made ZERO corrections to steering input, so if he was spinning he was not spinning hard. V8 guys for some reason call even one rotation of the tire at the line while cutting a 1.1 60 ft "spinning". If he was really "spinning" he'd also be "driving". If that civic makes 650whp, its a 145mph car depending on weight. If I was the Civic guy I'd turn it up a few PSI and push his shit in. If I'm making 1100 hp and putting one car on a 650 whp Civic I'd be Evil Knieveling the motherfucker into Lake Eire.
  5. I would be an interesting conversation if the NSX had turbos.
  6. I don't think they dropped anything yet? Tossing turbos on a V6 is not revolutionary. The interior is a straight kick in the dick for what the MSRP will be. No man pedal? That is just not F'in American. Would not buy.
  7. It is if your a credit until and you make your own rules Yes but in a hot market people are willing to pay more than asking, and in some cases more than appraised value. I never recommend it, but when someone falls in love with a house its hard for them to think logically.
  8. That nuts about Grandview. We have a similar effect with Independence where I live, but its still selling 120-140 a square (which is high for the Cleveland area) and actually has better schools than Grandview. Maybe you guys should come up north and get a better deal? http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/ohio/districts/independence-local/independence-high-school-15478 http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/ohio/districts/grandview-heights-city/grandview-heights-high-school-15229 And whatever school this is seems the be the best in Cbus http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/ohio/districts/olentangy-local/olentangy-liberty-high-school-15494?int=c0b4c1 Yeah Chase uses comps but it has no ability to consider intangibles like school district, waterfront, or substantially different size and scope properties that would not be considered in a regular appraisal. The nice thing about Chase is ti gives you the comps, and you can look though them to see what is a best fit to compare to your property.
  9. 1) Selling at near $200 a square foot? Is there gold in your water? 2) the best "free" estimator is https://www.chase.com/mortgage/mortgage-resources/home-value-estimator which is loosely biased on comps. But, by best I mean they are all bad and I could only comment on accuracy on a case by case basis. 3)"improvements" rarely significantly effect value. Adding bedrooms/bathrooms or square footage is the only sure fire way to make a significant increase in property value. As a note, I just applied for a HELOC with my CU, Chase was at 245k, Zillow was 202k Drive by appraisal came out at 249k. At the end of the day, if you not selling your house, or taking out a mortgage, don't worry about it!
  10. Thanks! Any tips/tricks/incite from you would be greatly appreciated! LMK when you want to come off the turbo kit
  11. Those would look so f'n good on the RX7.....
  12. F that-you think their "innocent" cons will grow up to love America? I pray they all get taken out-every single one of them. Mom, grandma, baby, lay waste to them all. Do them the favor, get them to Ala and their promised virgins already. I'd pay double of the already outrageous taxes I pay to fund an ICBM with their name on it.
  13. That Vid and the Supra Vs Hornet made it to youtube, but the rolling tire fire vid I have not seen in years.
  14. Shop at the house?! Jelly going through the roof! City water on a house like that is all but unheard of out here. Awesome!
  15. Like I said Tilley-I would have done this DAY ONE. No brainier! Nice purchase I drove a buddies up here, and the most notable thing was the "thrust". I would not call it acceleration, its more like a fast boat if that makes sense-it never pulls harder in one gear than another-its always just about the same. 40-60, fell likes 100-120, which oddly feels like 160-180. Its just always thrusting.
  16. Biggest mistake-its way too far for a one day trip. Stay a few-if your looking to relax you may never leave! Also if your already in town, you can pick up a 3 day 2 night, or even a 2 day one night cruise to the Bahamas from Lauderdale for basically free. Just call the port-the boats already leaving and they want to entice people to spend money so they will let anyone on LOL
  17. Nice house/property. I'd start plans for a shop ASAP if I had the land! Only suggestions- A modern (Granite/Quartz/etc) counter top and back splash in the kitchen would do wonders for appeal. Also I would find a way to better define the space between the kitchen and what looks like the living room. Super jelly of the property! Are there fish in that pond? Well water?
  18. Has anyone been to the one in Vegas, and then to the one in Cbus, and thought it better?
  19. There is some old CR GOLD!!! Bookmark this! RIP that bad black bitch. Jamie's old car layin rubber-in all gears! http://www.streetfire.net/video/950whp-supra-spins-14th-gear-hard-racing-low-11-s_67343.htm And I have not seen this one in ages! Low boost-Pull to 200mph, and high boost. http://www.streetfire.net/video/ultimate-sleeper-dodge-colt-spinning-tires-on-dyno_49358.htm
  20. Jordan covered the math since neither of us are rocket scientist. Its not magic. Big turbo or turbo(s) hit late- the later they come in, the less torque you will make. I mean, this is turbo 101 Bro. Here are a few other LS based examples with larger turbos that come on later than some would like..... http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h344/fbodyjunkie06/S484Tacoma_zpsd24602e3.jpg From Or this- http://ls1tech.com/forums/attachments/forced-induction/410350d1373952657-stock-bottom-end-lq9-930whp-17psi-91mm-garrett-930whp.jpg From (on lower boost this run) And one Example of a turbo set up that would send a rod out the block first pull. Similar HP to whats above, just smaller turbine/ar that hits like a freight train. Same power, much different torque curve. http://s152.photobucket.com/user/rotary1307cc/media/162_zps18b4e8ec.png.html Soak it in, because knowledge is power!
  21. Luv U 2 Sammy Trust me I get it-before I started on this I tried to get as much info as I could too!! My goal was as little torque as possible-so I know I was going to need more turbo than I could use so they could come on late, but not too late as to never see full boost. A pair of 6766's seemed to be the best fit- with people seeing full boost anywhere from 4400-4800rpm and Chad's turbo fit that mold about perfectly! Here is one of the later pulls-14 deg timing and pretty think. He tweaked the fuel and threw another click or two of advance in it to get to 736, but boost was unchanged. (Sorry about it being sideways not sure how to change it) http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/LsxRx7/IMG_20150104_235029363.jpg I am not sure if I can or Erik would be willing to post the log of the log that showed KPA-he is super finicky about it as he has had info.tunes stolen before. Again, not sure how HP tuners works int hat reguard, but I could ask him to do so. I may have it on a in car go-pro vid though Motor is a 100% stock from GM 99 Camaro LS Juan. The Cam sensor is bad so I will have to remove the intake to replace it-and that will be the first time I have removed anything from this long block! The bigger the turbo, the later the hit, the less torque you will have for a given HP number. Here are a few other LS based examples with a wholoota turbo http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h344/fbodyjunkie06/S484Tacoma_zpsd24602e3.jpg From Or this- http://ls1tech.com/forums/attachments/forced-induction/410350d1373952657-stock-bottom-end-lq9-930whp-17psi-91mm-garrett-930whp.jpg From (On lower boost this run) And one Example of a turbo set up that would send a rod otu the block first pull. Similar power to whats above, just smaller turbine/ar that hits like a freight train. http://s152.photobucket.com/user/rotary1307cc/media/162_zps18b4e8ec.png.html
