motorcycle with a 502ci V8
Crazy and cool. I'm sure they'll make a 572 Boss Hog too. Sick $hit. I'll take a '32 roadster kit car with a twin turbo 454. After all is said and done the weight to power ratio is almost as good but the vehicle still has four wheels and moderate comfort.

Exotic vehicle II
To be honest GT1750, I know it was based off of the VW bug, it was made in California as the "Sterling" and also in the UK under the same name. It dates from the early 70s possibly late 60s. A modified Sterling by the name "NOVA" was also made in Australia and So. Afrika... or something like that. I belive productoion was from 1970 to like 1979 wiht a few years missing in the middle there. Although most of these cars retained VW power I've heard of some having Buick 3800s. Like I said I'm no expert, so feel free to tear my hazy memory to bits.

Honda chief rules out V-8 engine, for now
For christ's sake do you want to talk race engines? This discussion was not about over the top $2,000,000 engines made to run 6 hours between breakdowns. Your mentioning of race engines this or that is irrelevant, we're talking production. Production V8s. Otherwise I'll start talking about the Oldsmobile/Cadillac No.Star's racing success and how a smallblock pushrod Chevy enigne has kicked DOHC hi tech junk at 24 hours of Rolex, LeMans and on the street... <_< IF Honda is SOOOOO damn good at making big powerfull engines why did they now jump at the opportunity to make a production V12 for the fastest street car of all time? Why don't they put their money where their mouth is? Acura should could use a V8. Fu$# it. A poweerful V8 would just be wasted on Front wheel biases AWD or perhaps FWD. Honda is pathetic. Kind of like a nerd who cheats on his math quiz. Yup... and that would be so meaningfull: Next day's headline: Exotic Mid engined two seater with a V10 costing $90,000 beats a 4 passanger Gran Turismo coupe with a I6 for $45,000. It would be as lame as the guy with a Ferrari Enzo who ends up winning against a C6 Z06 by a nose.

The Political Correctness Thread
I voted: "The current amount infringes on my right to freedom of speech." Just this past weekend I was talking to a really cool black dude. He was a real character. I befriended him at an all day "driving school" event. He drives a black Lincoln LS (V6 wiht a paxton blower and 5-speed) He says he pulled up to a light the other day and the dude behind the wheel of the car next to him is also driving an LS. He gives "Lucky" a dirty look as if: "What's this balck kid doign wiht a new Lincoln?" and Lucky (the black kid) rolls his window down and yells: "What a black guy can't drive a Lincoln? I got mine at the "black store" it was 50% off" And laughs if off wiht a smile.

Honda chief rules out V-8 engine, for now
We can talk about 1000 horsepower Porsche 917s and 1500hp Viper dragsters wiht NOS, twin turbos and powerglide trans... let's not talk race cars. That's irrelevant and stupid. I'm pretty sure I could make a 5.7 SBC pump out 900 natrually aspired Horsepower for short money but it's not in a production car. Honda told McLaren they COULDN'T produce a V12 with the specs they were looking for. It was "impossible" esp. for the budget and deadline. BMW took on the assignment, made a ground up new DOHC V12 and oevrdelivederd the HP while coming ahead f schedule, under wieght and within Budget. Moral of the story: Honda is full of bullcrap and has an inflated ego. Meantime I'd like a M3 so I could embarass a few NSXs at an SCCA meet.

Yup, the Oh-four was a nice car but depressing timing wise. :( Here's a cool '54 Cutlass to bring up your spirits. http://www.autoweteran.gower.pl/concept/19...ile_Cutlass.jpg http://local.aaca.org/siraaca/images/corvet18.jpg

Mustang: That Cutlass has Mass plates. :) My first car was supposed to be a '85 Cutlass Supreme coupe just like that. Blue on blue on blue. (sky blue & navy blue two tone and a blue interior) My dad junked it without telling me cause the 3800 was runnig rough. :angry: And now some pics. I love vintage photos. :)

my new Cobalt SS
Awsome Cobalt. Great stealthy color. I'd never get rid of the Firebird if it was me. Maybe for a 2006 GTO or CTS-V I'd consider it, but never for a Cobalt.

New Cobalt!
or perhaps Mazda 3?

Which would you rather have?
So many irritating Honda fans fail to understand this. BTW: One of my favorite tricks is to go asking around at the dragway how many MPG racer's Civic's get. A Civic running high 13s with all engine or turbo is usually averaging 15mpg. My 1968 Camaro runs 13s and get's 15mpg. Most Honda fans are so clueless. :rolleyes:

Holden Commodore Dual-Fuel
Awsome. Back in Slovakia my uncle had a 80s Lada. It was a stationwagon and he had it converted to LPG. There was a big huge propane tank in the rear of the car, covered by an old quilt to kee it discret. Sometimes to freak us out he'd put the key in the ignition and juist before turning it say "Do you smell gas? *snif-snif* I hope we don't blow up!" :P

Hyundai Accent SR Concept
Good. To the best of my recollection the South Koreans did not bomb the f*&$ out of Pearl Harbor in a Terrorist Attack/declaration of war. I'd rather have Hundai gain market share than the Japanese. Yes I "went there". I'm not a big fan of P.C.ness.
