THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

They've gone PLAID

The thing that amazes me is they hit almost 1.0G force during the run. That's insanely quick acceleration. Most sports cars struggle to achieve 1G even under braking or turning...
unimpressed by his garbage, he makes cool stuff for magazines but that is it. you dont see any of his shit on the streets. for 300k you can have a TT Gallardo that will crush it and be a million times more reliable
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

true, but they're pretty much very low production hot rods, not production cars. Killer engineering required to achieve what they do though

You're so negative all the time. Seriously.

On a lighter note Rob: your old green XJ has death wobble. Im driving it until the fuel pump for my truck arrives.

When did you buy that? I thought Mark had it?

Hennessey is a piece of shit, simple as that.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Damn 12hr work day. I was hoping to get out early to go axle scouting. I think I'm gunna get a plain jane D60 and cut/narrow to a semi floater, sorta like the old Mopar 60's

Agreed...funny how the article mentioned they started with a Lotus Elise ( actually I think it's an Exige, the Elise is not a hardtop) and apparently stretched it from the looks of it. Then, (quoted), kept it to a "sprightly" 2750 pounds. Hmm. These days that is light for a street car, but it also happens to be about 700 pounds heavier than an Exige. I know, I know, swapped a v8 in, yadda, yadda...but fast in a straight line dont mean much....I bet it sucks everywhere else, and reliability? Yeah, dont ask. Just a headline grab.

You and Rob are retarded. Like anyone who can afford any of those dumbshit supercars gives a **** about anything other than the fact that it's the fastest and super expensive. More speed + more money = more dicksucks

DO THE MATH

Race cars stopped being cool about 1 day before Nascar was formed and that's about when shit got gay. Ferraris, Lambos, Hennesey? Who gives a shit about fast cars anymore. Do these people not realize they invented air planes like a million years ago? Cut it out.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I just think it's funny Roberto is calling Hennesseys cars garbage when the coolest thing he's ever done is slap a used hot air intake on a 100HP truck with gay headlights. Go eat some more Vagisil while you watch a bunch of retards drive in a circle for a couple hours like they're lost.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Once the TTBYJ is shaken down, mostly finished, and stable for a while, I'll probably build a road car of some kind.

I'm sure I'll find something retarded to do :)

I'd love to do a Cobra replica with a Coyote 5.0 but that's probably a long ways out.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

My parents next door neighbor is buying one of these. He was giddy as little girl over it. Less than a grand for the thing too.

I was thinking about getting a TA to replace my lincoln. I was looking at paying at least $1000 for one though, that's what they are new anyway. I want 110v/220v ability and a foot pedal. Also don't care about it being multiprocess. Just need TIG.

I can't wait to watch you strap a 2.3 lima turbo engine to a 9 speed eaton fuller roadranger and put it in a subaru 360.

It's like watching me do things, if I actually did things instead of just figuring out what would work on paper and then forgetting about it.
