    The Stang VS 06 Lexus IS350

    I really had no idea about the new IS350, I would have never known. Not like I'm worried now, but just hearing its stats it would have given my GT a run when it was NA. It's a damn shame we need a blower mated to a V8 to wipe the floor with the competition. Kudo's to Lexus/Toyota for making...

    Im getting pretty Dissapointed in my Stang

    Get the blower and be done with it! Besides the 99-04's look better than the 05-07's IMO

    New car

    Congrats on the purchase. Although I do agree that a very good driver should know how to control a RWD in the snow (I certainly do), it just doesn't make sense on practicallity. You're at a severe disadvantage compared to FWD or AWD in the snow. Going up icy and snowy slopes in a RWD is a...

    New car

    FYI the 2004 has the LS1 with 350 hp, not 400hp. Nice car either way.

    Anybody made electro-magnet brakes yet?

    An even better idea...using electromagnets for shock absorbers? You can vary the dampening by the voltage to the magnets. And better yet, you can probably make them regenerative as you drive the shocks are constantly moving, so there's probably some energy to be extracted from that.

    Functional 01-04 hood scoop??

    BSME here, and no it's not worth the time and effort to make it functional. The honeycomb part of the scoop is acutally a structural member of the scoop. Not only that, even if you drill out the holes in the honeycomb, you run the risk of air rushing in underneath the scoop and ripping it...

    Went to the track tonight...

    Do you have a timeslip of the entire run? What was your 1/8 time and trap?

    Low cars and mud don't mix!

    Like a creek, small river, etc. Was just making a really bad joke. :D Your car should be fine, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Low cars and mud don't mix!

    Run the car through a running brook to wash off all the mud that may have collected underneath.

    Me at the track (vid)

    Nice looking car as well. I've never heard what a KB 2v sounds like, now I do...me likes! I would have expected a higher trap speed for the amount of power you're putting out though.

    Ditched the Stang...

    Hope your warranty covers your tranny for a long time. They are notorious for bad tranny's...especially on the I-6.

    What do you love most about your stang?

    For me it's the "in your face" statement the Mustang makes. It makes no apologies for being too loud, going too fast, and burning lots of rubber and gas in the process. Let's face it, there is nothing practical about it. And to top it off I add some even more less practical things to it...

    You're exactly right. We were wrong in the way we treated our detainees... We should have cut their heads off and posted a video of it on the internet for the whole world to see. Where's your list?

    I still don't know what of YOUR civil rights you have lost? Hopefully terrorism will one day be a thing of the past, then we won't have to worry about things like that. Talk about being optomistic! Honestly, I really think after 9-11, we can never go back to the way we lived before. We...

    Police are getting new license plate recognition technology - Video inside

    And what intentions would that be? We all want to end terrorism, yet we exect the govenment to take a blind eye to everybody? I think people really confuse the word "freedom" as being anonymous. If you don't let the government at least investigate potential terrorists in this country by...
