    The event is just to big and out of control. I am anxiously awaiting a new quieter event to come soon.

     

    What about that Kansas meet?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What about the good ol' Cle vs CLB days? :) Nothing like sitting in that birds nest behind the old IPS to orchestrate a full night of racing.

    I plan on going with a fairly aggressive cam in the next few months. Just need to figure out which heads I want to build to support it.

     

    Stock.

     

    Just toss a spring in it. People are making literally 1000s of HP on stock heads. Unless you have money to burn, or are trying to set records, or can do it yourself, I don’t think an aftermarket head, PP, or work involved with bigger vales is going to be worth the 8-10whp you will see in the upper RPMs on a stock LS6 or Ls2

     

    Take it with a grain of salt as I am a cheap dick backyard racer, but I always look for the cheapest path to achieve my desired velocity. :)

  7. GTR PPI

    I'd be willing to pay for several PPIs, considering the risks involved: it's a high-dollar vehicle, it has been heavily modified, it has a history of mechanical failure, and you're purchasing it from a friend. I'd shell out the extra cash for the additional PPIs just to make sure.

     

    If he's a freind, I'd have him pay for it. If you dont buy it it would be a great selling tool anyways.

    I went the cheap route and bought Pacesetter's. As long as I get a little more sound than stock (with some added power) I'll be happy.

     

     

    Let us know what the difference is.

     

    Believe it or not- the most noticeable difference in sound and power I have seen is with a CAM, headers or not.

    Yeah I have kicked around headers and a Corsa exhaust as that seems to be the best sounding combo on these cars and minimize drone, but you are talking 1000 for headers and another 1200 for the exhaust. When I look at that I say cutting the mufflers off is a bargain. I am not sure I want it any louder for what I use it for.

     

    You dont-trust me!

     

    Muff Delete and intake

     

    or

     

    The kiitchen sink. There is no middle ground here.

  10. How many RWD sports cars made it through winter?

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but a consistent washing regimen can keep the rust off too.

     

    The M3 I posted about earlier has been a winter car since 2003 and there's not a spot of rust on it.

     

    Considering its been below freezing for the entire winter-unless you have access to a heater wash station and like every door/window you have being frozen shut with some frequency-I'd say aint nobody go time for that.

    Hmmm...and it sounds good? I think it sounds good without the mufflers but I am still on stock manifolds with cats

     

    Just removing the cats will get you where you want to be sound and power wise. Unless you making 500+WHP, there is NO need to replace the hot pipes on a V IMO. I put an x pipe on a V with headers and mufflers-it went from nice to raspy and obnoxious. Made no difference in power.

    Is it really worth rusting out your nice car just to say you did it?

     

    Boom.

     

    If you care about the car, keep it out of the salt. Anything can "work" with snow tires, but if you can afford a toy, you could also afford a beater IMO. If you have a job that requires you carry customers/clients and need a nice car for winter, you should make enough to afford a nicer beater. :)

  20. You have $50,000 to buy a car.

    Wow, I had no idea you could get the Maserati for 50k now. .

     

    There is a reason they depreciate so badly...

     

     

     

     

    For 50k- My pics-

     

    4 Door-CTS-V-use leftover $$ for Pulley and a tune-cut mufflers off :gabe: 10 sec American sledgehammer

     

    2 Door Saloon- 07 up Jag XK. You dont see many, Super Comfy. Sounds great with an exhaust, looks like a 250k Vanquish-can sneak into an Xk-R for 50k

     

    Why not car-A/C Cobra REP with the biggest huffer I could hang off the thing.

    i would much rather have this than a veyron. the balls to go 270 have to be massive.

     

    Tuff call...

     

    AC

     

    Nav

     

    Full Sound System

     

    4 fucking Turbos

     

     

    Different car IMO. Street car vs Race car.

     

     

    Also if you have the money to wake up in a New Bugatti, you can buy the Venom for weekends :fuckyeah:
