  3. *Gasp!* Did you hear what they're doing?! They're giving Sienna owners 6 years / Unlimited Miles warranties under their new "Warranty Enhancement" program! I'm going out and buying a used one right now! http://www.leftlanenews.com/toyota-to-fix-...a-minivans.html Assholes.

  6. Very nice!
  7. Can I at least get a link? lol
  8. Very badass! Here's a teaser: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vodcars/sets/72157603104900070/
  9. Elaborate much?

  14. We've never (successfully) tried it before, why not do it now! Damn, Hitler would have one hell of a time singling out people now. We're so much more diverse in this world now, and *gasp* there are gay people and they're fighting for their own equal rights! Just think, when WWII occurred, blacks didn't really have any rights here in the US, and now there's a huge gay and lesbian movement.. Crazy how the world progresses, isn't it?

  19. Done and much tidier.
  20. I'm dumb. I would have to have it a little bigger than the Exige, so maybe Solstice-size, especially if the rumor is true that Kappa II will grow a bit. Hopefully we can make the chassis of Kappa II lighter and be able to incorporate as much CF and light-weight materials as possible and throw the Corvette on that chassis. That would cut those 2860 lbs down even more, which would already be significant improvement with 300 lbs shaved (not counting the weight of the engines).
  21. Here are some numbers... SIZE -- STOCK -- w/ D.I.* 6.2L -- 436 HP -- 504 HP 5.5L -- 387 HP -- 447 HP 4.7L -- 330 HP -- 382 HP *based on 3.6L VVT D.I. engine's estimated 15.6% gain over base 3.6L VVT engine Now imagine where these numbers could be if we came out with DOHC / VVT engines...
  22. Mo' Money Mo' Problems -- Puff Daddy and Mase
  23. If we can make the same numbers with smaller V8s (4.7, 5.5, etc.) then why not do it? It saves weight, packs the same power in a smaller package, shows our technology improving, and the MPGs would probably be comparable inch-for-inch. +1
  24. Grrrrrowwwlllll
  25. You know, getting the weight to a sub-3000 Kappa-like number is absolutely fine with me. It would allow us to have a less powerful car (say 400 HP base, 500 HP Z06, 600 HP ZR1) though it would probably be a little more expensive due to the use of CF, magnesium, and aluminum. Just by making the IP leather or PUR would be much lighter than the current thick foam/vinyl it is now. Using a simple steel or aluminum bar for the IP support beam would be cheaper and easier to use than the current Magnesium beam while keeping weight low and stability at its prime. There are many ways to save weight (and money) while maintaining quality I'm sure.. How much does a leaf spring setup weigh in comparison to a strut/spring setup?
