I hope this still lasts until I get home I've got a pre-approved company lease for it with nothing out of pocket for me.

wow how can anyone be that stupid?

their members have quite the sense of humor

you need lower gears for sure. Plus a heavy duty clutch. You can get even more traction by filling your diff with ball bearings.

[MKader17 332]

Every F1 car on the grid is capable of going from 0 to 160 km/h (100 mph) and back to 0 in less than five seconds

Whoa!

[mrray13 30]

Here we'll make it really, really simple:

F1 is obviously more aerodynamic even with the treatments made to the car to increase downforce so it can turn faster, and WAY faster of course.

F1 car: 440kg + ballasts = 605kg = 1333lbs and this year they are now LIMITED to 850hp yielding a HP/weight ratio of 0.637

Veyron: 2034kg = 4485lb and 1001hp yielding a HP/weight ratio of 0.22

The F1 is 3 times better and then when you realize that nearly 1/3 of the weight of the car is ballast that is required to build up the weight of a car to a certain point which for comparison sake in your argument could easily be removed what do you think is engineered better.

To make the point even stronger and to get you to think before talking about shit you know nothing about, I will draw an analogy.

What you stated is like comparing an early 90's Geo Metro (1.3L 70hp 1367lb:: hp/w = 0.05) to a brand new C63 AMG (6.3L 450hp 3920lb :: hp/w = 0.11) and then claiming the Metro is faster. Oh, whoops that is only 2x the HP to weight of the Metro and the F1 car has nearly three.

didn't you once measure the valve lash or something of an f1 powerplant?? while it was running or something?

not like you would know anything about that kind of stuff, lol....

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just like the Bugatti..... sorry to offend you.

ROFL.

There is more engineering in one valve spring in an F1 car than in the whole Veyron

Its not like there might be a problem with valve float at 20,000rpm...

dont they use air pressure instead of valve springs so there are no fatigue factors and inconsistencies

wow, really???

well since it has had many rule changes, could of been an older technique used. ive heard talks before of it utilizing high pressure. makes me wonder since BMW has electronic controled valves which in turn eliminates the cam along with its weight and friction losses.

Made it to the Slipknot/Coheed & Cambria/Trivium show last night, broken leg or no. Pretty interesting turn of events

Escorted to the front of the line and then to the specially designated handicapped section, front row, slightly off to the left

Number 6 came off the stage during the show, gave me and the other gimpies a big hand shake and handed each of us a pair of drumsticks (squee!)

A police officer escorted me out of the building via one of the fire corridors as soon as the show ended

Waiting for valet parking after the show (cheaper than parking lot parking at this venue) one of the show goers gives me a guitar pick from Number 4 (squee!)

Wheelchairs are the bomb diggity yo

I parked next to one at the hotel both times I went up to MTS training.

I tried not to drool on it.

OMFG, how can somebody be that stupid? The people on that forum are apparently very mean, or else that kid did something really, really bad to them.

He did something extremely stupid. He welded the pinion to the ring instead of the spider gears together. Plenty of pictures of welded gears and he couldn't do it right.

This morning I only read the first few posts, but just now I went back and read a few more pages. I think on page 4 he says it was a joke. The vehicle this was coming out of was really messed up (unfixable) so he decided to play a joke on the forum and welded them together then came on the forum and claimed to be naive.

I understood it the same way. One hell of a joke.

so the guy isn't selling the truck after all?

[audio-neon 34]

TY Sean for the info on F1.

Oh, and technically the fastest, naturally aspirated car on earth still goes to an F1 car with a top speed of 263 mph iirc.

[seanbw 1]

just got back from the range, played a little on the skeet range which has an amazing view. the edge of the range falls off into the santa ynez valley and there's still snow on some of the mountains across the valley. also got out on the 100y rifle and 50y pistol ranges today.

I fuggin miss the HOP. Stupid work.

SAHWEEEEEET!!!

I was just shopping for a good deal on a QSC PLX3602 and Swooped on a miss-priced plx3102 for half the price of the 3602. I will pick it up from a store tonight.

Overal there will be a 25% loss of power, but I'm not too mad. I think it will power my 2 brand new sexy Mael-x's juuuuust fine.

My home theater is almost finished! After the flood in the basment the drama of the dousche bag room renter moving out and STILL remodeling the kitchen... It's good to see at least one project getting close to some form of a milestone. Of course then comes a permamnent PJ mount and to calibrate everything....

This summer will be crazy. Grading the yad. Fixing both of our concrete ponds, and tossing in 3-4 gardens and some shrubs. I won't have enough cash for a vacation after the wedding at this rate! Have to refinish my whole cabinet set up in the kitchen too. I've never had experience with wood working handy man type things, but I'll have to learn PDQ. That's how my life has been. I hope your lifes are going great too!

I hope all of you crazy folks are great. Sean you work too hard, but thats a good thing.. Mkader, you are finaly putting a lift on your truck? Much better. Finaly some proper upgrades!

=P

Hope to drop in some time soon. Ciao.

Sounds like things are coming together. Nice work

Have to show me the results.

I shall post them when I get more done. I never heard, how did the chromesome lottery turn out for you?

I'm not 100% sure I believe that.

A 2nd gen Camaro with a crate 572R went ~225 on gas and 252 on fuel.

...

Actually, the record for unblown gas is 365.

Unblown fuel is 378.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I need to win the lottery so I can just buy any car I want and not have to shop for one. This is getting to be ridiculous.
