buttery smoothness of power delivery and ride. as far as home insulation goes, the "average" UK house doesn't have fiberglass insulation of any kind, whereas it's been standard issue in all american homes built since the 1970s (which is most of them). so overall, they use less energy...

ok, you've got solid points and solid numbers that I can't fault. And ya I agree completely, the VVT-i isn't the most cost effective hp gain out there, but that's not really what the mod is about. using 1jz numbers isn't really fair tho, as that swap was far from free. unless you're fortunate...

ya forsure I understand where you're coming from on this. point I'm trying to make tho is that even tho I ride 1000's and 600's on a semi-regular basis, I still find the SV a total blast to ride. So I can't say it'll NEVER get boring, but if it hasn't gotten boring for me yet, I think it'll...

or maybe the brits should learn how to insulate their houses....

I can count on 1 hand the number that are RWD. other than that I have no problem with them. the french are infinitely better at building cars than the italians.

going rate for a 95 mustang GT is about $8000. supercharger for $3500 and you're at 500hp, $10 pulley and you can push up past 800 before you're into real threats with the bottom end. compared to a mark4 (about the same age and performance) that's pretty damned cheap. on a fox body mustang...

LOL for the picture, you got some information to back that up tho?

in other words... italian.

Joe, look into an SV650, the big bang twin engine layout makes it alot more confidence inspiring than the other bikes. SV is very unlikely to spool up a back tire, far more likely to grip and go. it's fast enough not to be boring, but slow enough to be very confidence inspiring and still fun to...

if price/hp is what you're after. a ford 4.6 modular can be had for under $1000, and with a $4000 KB supercharger you can be over 800hp. japanese cars are NOT where the value is at for hp.

any 2-stroke sportbike is insane. even a 125 can get you into WAY more trouble than you'd ever think possible. NSR500 was never offered for sale as far as I know, but ya, an NSR500 can hit 200mph on race fuel without issue, and spin the wheel thru 5 gears, wheely in all 6 without any clutch...

mechanical or electrical I think. I notice alot of power engineers are into classic cars. Guess that kinda makes sense.

actually IJ is right, you can get low power plasma cutters very affordably, if you're just cutting bolts off that's all you need. not like you're chopping an engine block in half.

there's a reason for that.

propane doesn't have the heat necessary to make good clean cuts. Acetylene is really the minimum IMHO.

whenever I'm out on a bike I make a game of pretending that every single car on the road is trying to kill me. it's abit messed up, but I have fun with it and then I never have a problem when somebody swerves out or tries to dive across 3 lanes to catch an onramp and they clearly didn't see me...

well I can't speak for everyone, but I'll often launch from second if I'm gonna be running farther than just across the intersection, maybe abit slower off the line (not much difference if you don't mind abusing the clutch) but it's 1 less shift to make and most drags I'll not be needing 3rd...

ya, stunningly awesome cars, definitely the supercar I respect the most.

nothin wrong with hittin playdium man, I wish I was there tonight.
