Gollum Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Today was like most mondays... hard to get moving. You know. Get into work and for some reason the whole idea of work just isn't appealing. So what do you end up day dreaming about when the work isnt' getting done? Today in my mind I built a early 50's forumla one car with riveted aluminum paneling powered by TWO EG33 motors pushing roughly 500hp, 100 more than the forumlas of the time. I'd initiall been thinking of an inline 8 like the motors of the day, but good ones are few and far between nowdays. Then I was thinking twin inline 4 motors coupled, but then realised the obviousness of the choices. Twin flat 6 motors bring the weight total down, bring the CG down, and farther back. They would still sound amazing with open exhaust tubes and ITB's and would have a massive torque curve making it one SWEET modern take on the design.

The way fuel prices are going, even a piper cherokee is going to be Bill Gates income territory as far as fuel bills go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I used to dream about retrofitting a DC-10 into a flying house type setup, with full autopilot etc. Then there were the plans to build/aquire a submarine and have a crew to man it etc. Just thought I'd throw those out while we're being crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I day dream about winning the lottery and what I'd do with the money. It always puts a smile on my face . A 6 to 8 car garage would be an ABSOLUTE must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators BRAAP Posted May 21, 2008 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hmmm… I daydream about members actually having enough respect to capitalize and punctuate their posts, (proof read), and to get over their fear of search engines… Oh, and sometimes I day dream about a high revving custom Rusch Motorsports V-8 sporting a single-plane crank in my Z-32….

Hmmmm, 2 flat 6's, equal a flat 12........ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_917 I learned about this car in school, my teacher was a huge porsche fan and would talk about them all the time. The driver of the car would get his jollies off when shifting into 5th(maybe only 4th from what it says here on wiki) at 200mph and would still smoke the tires.
