here's the problem with carrying firearms...being able to hold the anger in and not use it. A few months ago I had an experience similar to ON3GO, where someone thought it'd be really funny to throw a 44oz big gulp through my open window at 70mph. Now that I think about it, I should've just rammed my car into the asswipe that did it, because after all, he did almost make me lose control. To top it off, the soda went all over my interior, myself, the glass. My wiper controls were shorted, so they wipers wouldn't stop going until I pulled the fuse, among other things. If I had a gun on me, I guarantee you I was furious enough to use it. If I had a gun in my car, I would not be posting this right now.

i bought the $40 heavy duty industrial reciprocating saw at harbor freight. Unit works great, as long as you use milwakee sawzall blades. Only downside is it's not a quick snapin like the milwakee unit, you actually have to undo 2 bolts to switch blades

now powered by 3000gt 3L v6 twin turbo

But Tim, that's how you're supposed to deal with heavy traffic: heavy psychedelics!

i love religious zealots. complete morons who think they are prophets fit to pass judgment. I think the funniest one I've met was a woman who claimed to be a christian prophet, and a pure soul that has not sinned against god. this woman also had a child outside of wedlock. here's a solution. next time, plow your car at them. it's a truck, you'll probably hurt someone. If cop asks what happened, tell him you were in shock when the soda struck you, and you jerked the wheel. other guy's at fault. Or! do what I do, follow them home, then burn their house to the ground!

no, the z32 vlsd is an r200 unit, not an r230. only twin turbo units came with r230 mechanical lsd units

to clarify, that's PVC, not sewer pipes!

I'm looking for a cheap alternative to metal, and I want to be like this guy! Which will have a better deal for me, Lowe's or Home Depot?

actually, i got an older style JTR rad mount bracket. PM me if you want it.

We should all either wear hybridZ shirts or at least have name badges stating online name and real name

I'll be there, but no car. I seriously doubt my Z will be roadworthy with the wankel by april. If I go with an LT1, then yes, I'll be there with my car. But as it stands, that would be a negative, ghostrider

haha yeah, i saw that rx7 video a few weeks ago, 5 min at 9k rpm without coolant...... crazy

Mike, I just called that guy, he said he did the swap about 7-8 years ago, and doesn't remember any details it was a turbo2 motor from a 2nd gen though.

Davy, I already have a fan club, more of a sect, actually. a cult if you will..... jk!

Actually, I believe the ZL1 camaro was for 2001-2 year change, with the ls6 motor and z06 wheels making 405hp. Also had Z06 brakes. They made 400 such units. The Phase III is the portion you're talking about, and not available to general public. more info here: http://www.gmmginc.net/html/zl1427_info.html The original 427 powered zl-1 camaro was produced in '69 ENGINE Type..........V-8, aluminum block and heads Bore x stroke..........4.25 x 3.76 in, 108.0 x 95.5mm Displacement.......... 427cid, 6993cc Compression ratio..........12.0:1 Carburetion..........1x4-bbl Holley 850cfm Emissions controls..........auxiliary air pump Valve gear..........pushrods, 2 valves per cylinder, solid lifters Power (SAE gross)..........430 bhp @ 5200 rpm Torque (SAE gross)..........450 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm

careful wags, you're drifting into territory

from a 427cid supercharged v8. *plop* at 2900lbs. for 100k. THE 2005 C6 CORVETTE hasn’t even been officially introduced, but the Corvette development team is already hard at work on future, high-performance variants, including a wild 600-plus horsepower Ford GT-fighter known internally as “Blue Devil.†While chief engineer Dave Hill has publicly announced the Z06 version of the next-gen Vette due in 2005 will have 500 hp, his engine team wasn’t sure until recently that they could actually achieve that impressive figure. Sources now say that it will be a case of “nothing beats cubic inches†with 95 extra horses (compared to today’s 405-hp Z06) coming as a result of boring and stroking the next-gen Chevy small-block V8 to 427 cubic inches—7.0 liters. Not since the late-1960s has that magic number of cubes been under a Corvette’s composite hood (though there were some 454s along the way). More important, Chevy is clearly investigating an ultra-performance Corvette designed to do battle with—and conquer—the mid-engined GT from rival Ford, as well as many supercars from across the pond. Called Blue Devil (no one knows why it has that name—could it be Chevy hopes to bedevil Ford’s blue oval?), unofficial stats make the name seem appropriate. Reportedly producing 625 hp, Blue Devil’s initial power will come from a supercharged 427 engine—and it will use lightweight carbon fiber for key body parts, reducing weight by several hundred pounds to drop the super C6 to about 2900 pounds. The price indicated on the internal documents is $100,000 for Blue Devil, if and when it actually makes production in 2006—at the earliest. We wonder whether the Devil’s chances of seeing light are further improved following product czar Bob Lutz’s comments that he’d like to see a Chevy-badged car like the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept. General Motors officials aren’t connecting the dots and saying this is a “go,†but the high-performance heart of Blue Devil is the kind of specialized, high-content engine project envisioned for the General’s new Performance Build Center set to open shop next year in Wixom, Michigan. The center is intended to attack projects with “a sort of race team mentality,†says Ed Koerner, vice president of GM Powertrain engineering operations. Patterned after low-volume race shops, the center could build up to 10,000 powerplants per year for very specific, high-end, high-performance GM vehicles. Koerner says engines from the shop should appear in showroom vehicles by 2005. http://www.autoweek.com/search/search_display.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carnews&content_code=08555349&Search_Type=STD&Search_ID=1754452&record=16

I dunno Bill, should I tell them that happens to be your last name?

Uh, you guys REALLY think that video was filmed for a girl?

why don't you just look through a DOZEN posts with JSR in the title, should be easy to figure out. At least when I flood this forum with crap, it's funny and people laugh. Constant JSR threads saying "How many members we got now?" or "Hey, I'm a new JSR member!" are just annoying. Can you guys just make your own offsite forum?
