Lightning

thank you! that's what it was called! I totally forgot.....silly me.

used to watch it A LOT back with it was the aviation channel, i just lost interest I guess.

go fig, lol.

after being interested in rally racing for so long, I'm gonna finally take the first step towards actually doing it. Later this year I hope to be doing some SCCA RallyCross-ing. I'm gonna take some kinda RWD Mopar RALLY RACING! it turns out after checking the rule books for SCCA Rallycross and Rally America, I can "legally" put a 383 into the LeBaron (or any other classic Mopar). they have a displacement formula that they use to make sure everything's kosher within the rally world, turns out the FIA uses it too. the limit is 5100cc, but they use a multiplier based on the type of engine it is. for turbo/supercharged engines its the displacement x 1.8, for pushrods it's 0.8 so I found a site that did displacement conversions, and a 383 is 6274cc. 6274 x .8 = 5019cc! so once I get the car prepped, the rally world can once again hear some Mopar big block thunder! EDIT: the car's still gonna be used for drifting and auto-x-ing too, I just need an "all-around" oriented car.

*laughs* But if I recall, Basara actually loves Oscar Mayer weiner... 382684[/snapback] actually, isn't it weiners? he was always eating two of them in the same bun, even when he ate after mylene....

learn something new every day.

that looks awesome....

I can see it now.....a huge truck piggybacking a VB6 with a giant rocket attached to it, lol.

I seriously wish they'd port the title to the X-box. There's no good fighter games out there for it, Crimson Skies was too arcadey and waay worse than the PC's version. Anyways, I'll probably still buy ACZero anyway.

That's a Chevorlet for you, always breaking something.

that's because everybody's probably playing it!!

EDIT: I forgot to add "I agree"

I guess my chrysler would be classified as one of the "gangster boats", eh?

there's a few other muscle cars in it too, and my Mustang friend nearly cried bloody murder when I dug up the pic with the '67 that had the RB26 in it. you can find the link for the trailer here.

search feature is your friend.

yeah, I just got a susubscription as an X-mas gift, been buying it since summer last year. Last year's Challenge winner was a 302-powered RX-7. and they still had $200 left over

well, to offshoot the current topic a bit, I may have a chance to race my car afterall! see here---->Grassroots Motorsports $2006 Challenge

......smartass.... (by limbs I meant the arms in the other valks)

well, after seeing the YF-21 eject the damaged limbs it got me wondering if the others could do it as well.

yeah, the new GTI is definatly a porker. That's almost as heavy as my car.

well, when I posed the question to Vinnie I was kinda meaning if the battroid took a hit and had to lose an arm (or two) would it affect everything else badly; that sorta thing.

myk should get a laugh out of this one:

nice! I have the issue of PHR that did the engine buildup, the car turned out...........ok, paint choice is nice, but not how low the car is or how big those F-ing wheels are.

I was just discussing with Vinnie the effects of if a VF's transformation and pilotability would be affected if a valk lost a arm. with the later VF's, with the exception of the YF-21 and VF-22, the arms sometimes play a huge aspect of aerodynamics for the valk. We all have seen that the YF-21 losing it's arms didn't really affect it's flyability at all, but how would this affect other valks as well? For Example: the VF-4's arms play a big aspect in it's aerodynamics, as the cannon nacelles form the front-top part of the whole engine nacelle area. So if it (the arm) got blown off at the "bicep" area, would it prevent the valkyrie from transforming back to fighter mode? another question as well, do the earlier valks (pre -19 and -21) have the ability to eject the arms from the valkyrie? I'd love to hear opinions from everybody.

holy crap! I actually have Fleet Defender Gold! I just hafta find it....
