    Twin Turbo V8 GN

    I just don't have the desire to go to the track and spend an entire day there to get a couple of runs in. We are also looking to move into a condo as we are getting too old to maintain a big home and yards. I went to the track 2 times this summer and only made 3 passes because of the damn...

    Twin Turbo V8 GN

    Brett according to the paperwork Ken did all the work except maybe the rear end & cage. It shows Ken building and fabbing everything else. This was Pat Fiero's old car and I remember Pat would say he couldn't keep the car off the rev limiter. It turns out the problem was the 3.9 rear gears and...

    MythBusters - Crash Force - awesome test

    Since the speed was doubled with 2 cars hitting each other at 50 mph the damage was the same because of the mass being doubled, splitting up the force among twice the mass. I would like to have seen if a 2000 lb car hitting a 4000 lb car would have showed damage to the lighter car similar to...

    One man's way to fight foreclosure

    I think it's considered your house the bank just has a lien against it. Same with a car you get a ticket and don't pay it, they come after you, the owner not the bank, and if you don't pay they can't go after the bank. If someone else drove the car and got a ticket and didn't pay , they would...

    6765 billet 800hp on a supra!

    As was said the GN V6 was very old technology, lets use the mid 80's, still older technology S2, and see how things stack up. Still old Buick V6, and probably the same HP ability, as the Supra I6. As for looks, at least your honest about looking badazz once its done right. Without a body kit...

    One man's way to fight foreclosure

    There is some truth to things being out of ones control at times, that can bury a business. Like whitehot said the home was collateral for a business loan. He would have known this was coming as he put the home up for collateral. Knowing he had a home worth 350k he could have sold it earlier...

    Original SBC verses LS style engine

    I would think the torque Reading at the wheels would be less with a lower gear ratio, higher numerically. There would be less load with a lower gear and the dyno computes power from the load? I may be wrong but it seems that way? At least it wouldn't be more. All the gears do is allow you to...

    Original SBC verses LS style engine

    Not to offer any more insight, but in this example you did increase size of the output of torque,(longer handle) similar to bigger motor, which would produce more torque.

    Towing an Airstream

    You most likely wont find a 700 lb tongue weight for the Regal. The reason for the limitation would be the frame. A bolt on hitch can have a tongue weight over 700 lbs on small trucks because of the frame not the bolts. Also the suspension and how far it will lower the car in back. You will...
