    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Perhaps they'll finally catch Ford, we'll see if they don't screw it up they stand a chance. They may of course do it by downsizing which is lame IMO.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I am curious to see how the new one is riding on the ATS chassis. GM spent a ton of money really trying to make the ATS a car and it worked. The Camaro ought to lay hurt on the ATS-V which is going to be hard to compete with. ATS-V is quicker at 3.7 to 60 than the C7 Stingray and the Z28, pulls a 12.1 in the quarter, stops faster from 60 than a 458 Italia, Stingray does the figure 8 in 23.5 and the V 23.7 (458 23.6). All #'s from Motortrend. Take that chassis and slap the ZL1 motor in it and beware Europe.

    If your box designer ever used the word "ratio" run like hell from the BP design as he is in way over his head. There are VERY few on the internet that will design the box right and pretty much zero of them on SMD. A standard well designed ported box will kill a non-ideal BP design. If you are only looking for a fart cannon it is of course easier, but I assume not since you asked about a front stage. Do beware a ton of the information you've gathered is from noobs with boners for crap that doesn't work. The fact you referenced even thinking about an FT1 clearly shows you are reading somewhere that is going to lead you down a path that really not logical at all.

    I went in biased thinking the Camaro was going to drive better. Part of me hoped it as well since it is easier for me to play with the motor on the GM stuff.

    Although having a ZL1 for about the price of the N/A GT350 is an interesting move on Ford's part. Obviously some confidence that GM will either raise the price on the 2016's a ton or that the Stang is that much better. When I drove an SS and a GT back to back though it felt like I was comparing a 2013 M3 to a late 90's F-body. The Camaro was a complete turd comparatively. Serious garbage, no one who drove them back to back would ever buy the Camaro unless you had idiot brand boner blinders on.

    They say ported after 2nd so that means 4th lol which is what I would recommend staying with

    Sorry, I understand the roll off the different types. Just shocked that they would recommend a "team" product in a sealed enclosure.

    For that dough you should really be buying some mini horns. Personally I'd then do a ported enclosure in my doors with a pair of 10" PA drivers. The FT1's are garbage for car use. I'd also somewhat question the 6th order. Based on your description it sounds like you are unfamiliar with BP and should focus on a standard ported enclosure.

    Depends a bit on the use. For NAS I'd buy a NAS drive. Actually in general I'd buy a NAS drive, but not if I had to access data all the time.

    But the average person using their car as a daily driver can't keep it clean enough.If you care enough about your investment, you will take care of it. Even when you have a family to raise and finances are tight. Do you feed the family or baby your car? When it stays below freezing for 3 weeks at a time. Hard to wash it than with no heat. Plus a lot of people don't have garages to keep their cars in. Translation: most people are lazy The money excuse is wrong. Only says you bought more car than you can afford. Letting something rust multiplies your expense as you turn something of value into garbage.

    Yep, my 68 Galaxie had rust repairs in 1974. That is when my grandma bought it. From that point on it was kept clean and outside of what had been treated no other rust showed up on the car and I had it for over 300k mi as a daily driver.

    And don't do shrimp with the steak. After or before. Surf & turf together at the same time makes no sense.

    I do roast igniters all the time. Looking for a different source than Blue Star though as $22 for one is stupid. http://bluestar-store.mwrc.net/en/product.php?product_id=37702
