    New Standards for Front Bumpers??

    What is the source of your information? According to studies funded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and conducted by the by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), described at the URL below, LOWER bumper heights REDUCE injury. I'm not saying I expect the...

    Bosch Platinum +4 plugs

    For what it's worth, I have 3000+ miles on my +4's now, and haven't had a single problem, and certainly haven't seen any CELs. This includes a track date, and a pair of back-to-back non-stop 900 mile trips, with both high-speed driving and start/stop rush-hour driving in the mix. It is my...

    Elites new hood design introductory offer

    That's a pretty amazing price for a piece of CF that big. ...No, I wasn't paid to say that. :)

    TechArt 911 stage II turbo vs Bone stock SRT10

    Motor Trend has a long and well-known history of being biased against American cars. Most of the real car guys I know won't even read it anymore.

    Racing Belt Recommendations?

    I'm happy with my TeamTech 6-points, but only after cutting off all that damned extra padding. I bought from JonB, but have subsequently seen them elsewhere for MUCH less. Worth shopping around for. Be sure to check the installs area of this site for the Cone's install info, it's invaluable.

    What is fastest you've driven in the rain ??

    Re: What is fastest you\'ve driven in the rain ?? LOL, I sometimes run 33x12.5 MT's on my Ram (all the way around). They're Baja Belted HPs, off-road tires mainly designed for high flotation in sand and light mud. It's like driving a boat. The Pilot Sports really pump a lot of water. I forget...

    Lemans

    Le Mans is too dangerous??? LOL That has to be the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Somebody get him on the phone and tell him about that giant chicane that's screwing up the Mulsanne straight. So is Dodge paying the price for the Benz flying wing thing, or is that just Wolfgang's personal...

    Anyone buy from Helmet City...?

    A decent Snell SA2000 (car) helmet will run you about $300-400. A really nice one can easily run $650+. Car helmets are VERY different from motorcycle helmets, which are rated with an M-number. The Snell website has tons of technical details, but the big one is the interior. A motorcycle...

    Aluminum floor jack $149.95 @Harbor Freight

    Keith -- these aren't 3-pump jacks (although mine was advertised in the paper that way -- the box says six or 10 or something like that). Kurtz -- the one I bought is similar -- the front has a wide solid roller, it's all silver, and I think mine either extends farther or is lower in the back...

    What is fastest you've driven in the rain ??

    Re: What is fastest you\'ve driven in the rain ?? 110 through a hurricane in Louisiana on the way to some very high speeds in West Texas. Just a reminder for you Pecos boys, the half-life on these things is incredible:

    Aluminum floor jack $149.95 @Harbor Freight

    I have one of these. For the price, you can't beat it. The only real problem is, you still have to drive up on something to jack the front -- the jack fits under the car just fine, but there isn't enough room to raise the arm enough to do the first few pumps. I agree with Adam, it does seem to...

    Yes, the Viper still have air restrictions and weight penalties. And in spite of those, and not being factory efforts, they were still on the ass of the GM factory cars.

    Hell yes, we started recording on Tivo, then started watching around 3PM. That way we should avoid pretty much all commercials. Giant pork butt in the smoker, cigars marinading in the humidor, Sam Adams keg on tap, T-bones on the grill, life is good. Prodrive is flat-out amazing. Although the...

    VEC1 settings question

    It's very hard to tune right by feel. Definitely take it to a dyno, it's worth the money. Although I still wasn't happy with my tuned-by-feel settings when I showed up at the dyno place, it was interesting that my current best manual settings yielded 399 RWHP, but after tweaking on the dyno it...

    Top 10 users or top 10 non-working employees? (Or business owners).

    More drivers putting the pedal to the metal - news article

    Back when they raised the limit to 70, I helped a friend do a paper on highway safety for a criminal justice class. The studies generally show that elderly drivers cause most of the accidents, but accidents involving younger drivers tend to cost a lot more. They also show that the NUMBER of...

    GENERATION 4 ?

    Ron, I have several of those pictures on CD somewhere. I can repost them if you want (I posted them for you about two years ago on the previous VCA board). They're damned cool and worth another look.

    GENERATION 4 ?

    I still think they should build this mid-engined PhotoChop as the next GTS. Hell, go all mid-engine for a Gen 4, keep things interesting.

    Tornado anyone?

    And Sapphire GOT several real answers, and went away happy. Relax a little, Jerry, you'll live longer.
