a lot of weight has to do with content (sound deadning, power everything), but with german cars, its the way thier built in layers (the main reason they are so solid)

Pretty sure they're closer to around 2200lbs, which is why they're so notoriously hard to drive. 370899[/snapback] yup, they were sub 2200lb cars, as for the hard to drive part, it was a mix between gearing for the day (4speed 1:1 final) and a rear gear of 3.73:1 so when you let off the throttle at 6,500 RPM's the torque from the engine would break the rear tires loose in a corner so you would allways have to have part throttle in the corner to avoid the backlash

any sports car that weighs in over 3,200 lbs curb is a porker, along with my old 3,300 lb vette

congrats, whats happining

,,,,, from the voice of Napolian , this should be moved to the feedback section

coke isnt pepsi, but pepsi is coke, think about it

nice ride A1, i allways thought you had the newer body, I like the older versions, they say BMW more then the new, The new ones are fast though, raced a guy 4 times in a row and it was the only car I raced (becides viper GTSr that killed me) that even kept up to the GS the only thing I noticed was he was short shifting or so it seemed (i dont know the redline of that motor is nor the final drive ratio) but he was shifing 1.5 : 1 with me running a zf 6speed and 355 gears and a 6400 redline. I was told his wqas a heavier car then mine too. Emaj, I do like the caddy motors too, when I worked in flint, they were turbo'ing and supercharging the crap out of them and getting really amazing results, the only motor design I didnt care for was the HUGE timing chain run by plastic guides, but it did hold up in lemans (basically stock motor)

nice goat Gaj Emag, The only reason to go VVT is to meet emissions at low rpms (which the feds test at) to get longer duration and lift at higher RPMs, just put the bigger cam in and adjust the computor accordingly. I ussed to know a guy at GM who worked in the "Lab" (basterdized cars like a all wheel drive monti with 600hp and a really cool AWD firebird) he was going to get me a caddy motor for a guy who was putting it in a 59 caddy with twin turbo, unfortunatly that fell through and the motor got scrapped and i loss touch with him

considering it weighs as much as a fully dressed motorcycle

what bout those monks that set themselves on fire, definatly non pussies, I would have the utmost respect for you if you did that

Dude, I know you... You are not asian, and if you are you are the German kind of asian. 369111[/snapback] OK, how about red then,,,,,,rhoad Island red,,,,,,look at me when Im talkin to you boy

naw, they just have those red braces for mockup, I have welded things (adjustable) that I mount in the shock areas without springs when I mock up a cars "sprung" weight

That is the price you pay for touching the holy shrine. You have deflowered the sacred vessel, now it will forever bear your sin! 368316[/snapback] ...And so it says in the Book of Jenius. 368360[/snapback] good one, I have one in the box, the others getting customized with a set of FP's and some minor detailing and decals

eh, yer steak sauce, yellow, well ya know, and poor JsARCLIGHT is Jars,,, all Just because I hate typing,,,,,poor Bsu, Im just going to type BS from now on, you guys can call me pf if ya want, hell, call me whatever ya want

What a bizarre analogy. Are you trying to confess something here? Some sort of "crap on the furniture" fettish? 368999[/snapback] Exo, I was the President of my Fraternity in college. I had a ton of responsibility, but one of the smaller problems in the Fraternity turned out to be one of the most chalanging. The guys who lived in the house were slobs... They would get dishes dirty and just leave em in the sink till the sink filled up, then they would just let em stack on the counter till they could make some pledge clean it up. It made the entire downstairs (and this was a HUGE 12 bedroom victorian mansion) just a sh!tty place to be. I had a solution. I took ALL the plates, glasses, cups and other glassware, put it in boxes and threw it all off of the roof. I am talking like HUNDREDS of plates and glasses. Yes my Fraternity Brothers though I was an a-hole, but what do you know.. The house didn't get dirty again... I had a policy. I see a glass, I break it. Spotless house from that day forward. 369010[/snapback] what if it was actual poop instead of dishes

hahahahahahhahahahha this is great, you got yellow callin A1 names which I know he could give a chit less, to me its just comerodery. Jem is sooooo pissed at yellow for who knows what, A1's a big guy, he can defend himself youve called yellow everything in the book becides insulting his mother for having him. Im putting in halfass jokes and have NOTHING to contribute. If any of ya are taking the "high road", its EXO, A1, and Az,,,,and the mods not to mention a few "shoutouts" from the peanut gallery, its like a conversation going on and people are duking it out on the sidelines,,,,,,,,,,

haha

I dont have any contempt, they bought the rights fair and square,,,it would be nice if the rights wernt sold, so I do have contempt for the people that sold them and im sure they hate it now too

GM had a great idea like that, its called the corvair,,,,good in thought, but doesnt work. A1 would be over thier quicker then chit. Its like trying to pull a pitbull from a meat wagon

Series - awesome DYRL - even more awesomeness Flashback - never seen Macross 2 - hated it Macross 7 - never seen (the only thing in my life which Im afraid to do becides jumping off a perfectly good airplane) Macross Plus - really liked it Macross Zero - loved the mech, story line pretty good

you have to put that in your sig if you havent allready
