  1. http://www.driftlive.com/?p=124 Check it out Won the SCCA? Which event did it win. The SCCA runs a huge number of different racing series.
  2. I've got an Alienware. Took a few weeks to get it after I ordered but I've had it for almost 3 years with no problems. Why are you looking for a high-end computer? Since you're considering a Mac I assume it's not for gaming.
  3. I live on a college campus. Where are these people you speak of? I've never met any.
  4. Perhaps you should ask Canada,... or Switzerland... or India... But seriously, these immigrants (or at least their children) will learn English, just like all the previous immigrants to this country. My Grandfather was born in this country to German immigrants and still he didn't speak anything but German until he began school. This "Nuestro Himno" isn't a big deal. It's not even a direct translation, just an inspired song set to the same tune and designed to get people on both sides riled up and/or pissed off. Looks like it worked. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuestro_Himno "This is not the first time that the National Anthem has been translated into another language by ethnic and immigrant groups in the United States. In 1861, it was translated into German [3] (and is also on that page in Latin). It has been translated into Yiddish by Jewish immigrants[4]and into French by Cajuns.[5]. The website of the US State Department also has been providing mutliple Spanish versions of the anthem. "
  5. Hate to spoil your rant, but unemployment in the US has gone down in the past year. In fact it's lower now than it has been since early 2001.
  6. Incredibly light? The thing weighs 2900 lbs. That's the same as the Buick Century in your sig.
  7. AutoExpress is British so that's 113 Imperial gallons which comes to 93 mpg American. http://tunertuesdays.autoblog.com/2006/04/...t-with-100-mpg/ If they manage to significantly improve fuel economy and performance that will be quite impressive and a huge seller. Still at least two years away, though, so this might all be BS. I imagine they'll want to lighten the car quite a bit to achieve those new numbers, which is great because modern cars keep getting fatter. Time to buck that trend.
  8. Could be, I was thinking of the RS model which I think starts under 30 whereas you'd be lucky to get a C6 Z06 for under $75K. Either way, they're both amazing but completely different cars. And as for the 'Ring, I was thinking in particular of the main straight, which is well over a mile long. Looking at that map there are several kilometer long straights.
  9. This is true. The Nurburgring is twisty but it has some very long straights where a higher-powered car could shave off quite a few seconds due to its high top speed. One situation that would favor an AWD car over a high-powered RWD car should be on shorty, twisty courses, such as SCCA Autocross but a quick check of SCCA Stock classes shows the C5-C6 in Super Stock and the Evo one class lower in A stock. The C6 Z06 is so fast that it's not even allowed in the Stock Classes! So the C6 Z06 is definately quicker than an Evo around pretty much any dry, flat, stable course, but then again it had better be quicker for the extra $45K you pay. They're both amazing cars, let's not quibble about seconds around a track.

    Isn't it illegal?

    hmm... kinda reminds me of the older Mustang GT's. They had 4.94 liter engines but big shiny "5.0" badges on the side.
  11. So what about the people that have been proven innocent on new evidence after their original trial ended in a conviction and a death sentence? In the past 30 years over 100 people in the US have been found innocent while awaiting execution on death row. You have no problem with executing innocents along with the guilty just to make sure we get them all? I hear a lot of talk here about "what if someone you loved was hurt or killed, wouldn't you want to kill the bastard that hurt them". What if someone you loved was executed for a crime they didn't commit? If someone has been put in jail and isolated from society so that they can do no more harm I see no reason, other than a sadistic need for vengeance, to kill them.
  12. Isuzu Aska http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isuzu_Aska
  13. Scaglietti bodied 1959 Corvette, the brainchild of Caroll Shelby. 283 Fuelie and 400 lbs. lighter than the standard model.
  14. But OC it's a V6... obviously it's inferior to a V8... it's 2 less ^_^ And mounting it sideways... what losers. All the other trucks will laugh at it for its transaxual orientation :lol:
  15. The "e" used a 2.7 liter engine instead of the 325i's 2.5 The e actually had slightly more torque but significantly less horsepower. It was designed for fuel economy, the i was the sporty model. The 325i would probably be faster than the Volvo. And what the hell is 0 to "legal speed"? 55?
