In other news, Exxon Mobil made 14 billion in profits over the last quarter...

Something tells me there is at least one conservative working for the lottery in Illinois (picked the numbers :P) and that at least one conservative in Illinois saw it coming.

Then only drive/ride fast on tracks. You're endangering others too when you haul ass on the freeway.....

And I think if we're talking straight line, funny cars are probably faster in the quarter as well...... BUT.... on road-going machines, bikes are within the top 1% of fastest vehicles.

I watched it. I've seen tons of those vids on Youtube. That sort of things really scares the crap out of me.... the front wheel doesn't come down until like 120... I've done 150 in a 5 series BMW on the autobahn and that was enough for me. Comfortable cruise. I don't know if I could ever find...

Turboandrew sums it up... thread over. Funny, I'm getting a bike this week particularly due to the fact that I can't afford any extra horsepower on my car. Gonna get a 2004 Honda 599 (naked)... Yeah, it doesn't have the sportbike fairing, it doesn't have a 130hp engine, but it still has a...

I said it myself, I wouldn't turn one down. I hope you guys can see that my beef isn't with the engine, its with the expense of the chassis. SBC's are the cheapest power you can get, period. The LS7 is an amazing piece of work, as I said in post #7... There are cheaper, lighter cars that...

You made your point on post #155 again jibby. Stock for stock, a Z06 wins. Keep this in mind though (power to weight only, not considering traction) Z06 = 3132 lbs / 505 (crank) horses = 6.2lb/hp Justen = ~2900lbs / 540 (~400rwkw WHEEL measured) horses = 5.37lb/hp Even at 3300lbs, Justen's car...

Jibby, look at Justen's car. Stock block making 400+ rwkw... 400 kilowatts is the equivalent of 540 horsepower. I don't know how many miles he's got on it (not to mention how many of those are track miles), but thats a damn fine number from a stock block. Granted, he's running a Tremec...

I think the idea was more to take care of cooling the furthest back cylinders.

I wonder if he's willing to part it out... dibs on engine :P

It may be completely useless information, but I was talking with a guy today about V12's and he was telling me that you could run two Ford EDIS-6 modules on a V12 for spark. Unfortunately, the Megasquirt module doesn't support sequential injection if thats what you want.

I have to say Jibby, I don't think that there's anyone in here that would turn down a Vette if it was cheap enough... But 50K just isn't cheap. You could pay a crapload off your house, invest it, start a small business.... anything. Hell, think of the cars you could build for 50K? I mean...

I'm glad my point was well made. If I was given the choice between Justen's ride and a Z06 Corvette, I'd take the Celica in a heartbeat. That car is the most amazing thing I've seen, ever. Honestly, it is. Don't get me wrong Jibby, the LS7 is a masterpiece. Titanium valves, dry sump oiling...

Whilst I agree that the Vette is an amazing car to drive and that small block technology is well proven (hell, its the base engine in an Ultima GTR), I would've rather seen a big single.... First of all, that thing looks like a bear to work on. Second, the turbos are located only a few inches...

On a side note, I bet those LED's in Japanese on the back give the car an extra 50HP :-P Still, it looks very aerodynamic and the exhaust exit is very cool (sport-bike looking). The seats look like they leave something to be desired.

Have you heard of Megasquirt by chance?

From College Station, TX, the storm didn't get any worse than the pictures. Some gusty winds and a bit of rain. Clear blue skies today.

Here in College Station, TX, we aren't getting anything but gusty winds (up to 50mph is what they say) and small trickles of rain drops. I apologize for the horrible pictures, but my roommates junk is in the way of the window. Out to the left side, you can see Kyle field (behind the giant...

Yeah, assuming the car has been maintained well, you should have no issues. Just remember that the rods on 95+ are slightly smaller :P
