I reached the point long ago that the guy must have two dicks.
He just couldn't be that stupid just pulling on one.

Like I said, Veyron is next to see how our collective knowledge and experience and aid in his fantasies of getting an extra 6-7 mph out of it and shave a full second off the top gear track.
Once he burns out of this fantasy and all Earthy things he will want to know how to get an extra 500 mph out of the Space Shuttle cause 17,500 mph isn't good enough engineering for his delusions.
Good point Ron, lets stop entertaining this space waster, stop feeding this useless eater, and breathing life into this oxygen thief.
As the great Stone Cold Steve Austin used to say, "Can I get a Hell Ya?"

All ur gonna get is, get the fuck off my case u trash ass idiot.
Never knew one had to be a race car driver to build a car thats really good. Guess all enzo owners and lambo owners need to sell up shop cause they dont even take the car to the track but they only use it to cruise on the street. Yep cant have that according to the mentality portrayed here. No racing = No high end car.
What a bunch of narrow/dumbass minded trolls.
And yes, u can see my car. 2009 on Pro-touring was me simply wanting to know to what level can the Charer be taken to and whether doing that was worth it. Ofcourse in learning over time and driving the car, I realised its not worth doing. Thats how I ended up in the exotic cars later on. No point chopping a charger up to do what it still wont do in the end because its too big. Imagine if I didnt ask and just went cutting/changing stuff? In end woulda lost a complete original car that I had because of my ignornace wanting to do what cant really be done. Also since then I been in an F355 Ferrari and quickly learned that even IF the charger was able to be made that way with its huge 117" wheelbase and poor aeros, it would still never have the gokart like feel the Ferrari has, as its a completely differently designed vehicle. I also as stated was working in a company endorsed by Donald J Trump and being part of it, the Ferrari just made alot more sense. If it wasnt for pro-touring I woulda lost my original charger. Its matching numbers since 1968, never rusted out, no replacement panels on it as it was garaged all its life AND it came with a complete service history which is rare on a vehicle like this. Also QQ1 blue white top car which is a rare combination. Works beautiful, drives great, but feels like a boat (This is where I prefer the exotic cars).
And yeah here are the photos of my car.
Ive already sold one 1968 Charger couple weeks back and it was red, 4-speed hurst. It wasnt original. I still do have a project 1970 Dodge Challenger EF8 dark metalic Green car, completelly original, just needs to get reasembled and put on the road, its a slapstick 3-speed 727. After this blue car im importing a Maseratti over. But yeah maybe I shouldnt cause it probbably handles beyond my capability. But thats too bad for u, because those cars werent made for race car drivers only.

Its cool Paul. I am genuine. So if need be I can get advice of people that are qualified to advise rather than critisize off this forum. Like my Mopar friend who is into racing. I can also get advice of another man I know in new york whos into the whole racing scene, go to youtube type in "Mr Angry" he owns the 1968 Charger he ran at bullrun and just completed his "Angrier" project of a Daytona Clone. Thought I should ask Ford owners about Ford but seems like I get more help from mopar owners about them than I do ford people. No loss. All a learning experience.
And just for the record. I could have simply said to Paul who asked about track experience "Yeah man, been racing an F355 at eastern creek open track days, I had the opportunity to race a Murciellago aswell etc". But then that would make me a liar and not genuine. Ofcourse nobody here could prove whether I did or not but I know it aint true and thats why I wouldnt say that. Thats why i said what I did about Go-kart even though "is that qualified" was said sarchastically. That itself shows Im honest, but seems fellow Americans are too blind to see past there nose.

Lessee,
Textspeak to the max "u" "r" "im" "Charer"? "Maseratti" (one "T", not two for future reference)
And trust us, using Donald "J" Trump as an endorsement does not gain any points other than on the "Real Housewives" website!
You are not doing youreself any favors...take a couple days off and read through all of the posts on your threads. And think about them.
I suspect Ron has not banned you based upon the entertainment value................

I dont need to re-read them. I know what I have asked on this forum
1: What the GT can do
2: Why the GT40 replica
3: What GT40 replica company
4: Why a small block over a big block (wanting to see credit in a SB)
5: Whats the limit to a GT40, if money isnt an issue, how far can the car be taken before the physical design of it lets it go no further.
6: Which car was considered better a MK1 or MK2.
Thats about all Ive asked, and I dont see any wrong in any of that. If you do, then I guess learning is a crime, not just owning a fast car without track experience.
Now now George.. you naughty naughty person. I did perservere with you but, tut tut, now you have truly blown your cover mate.
Dodge Charger eh?
Why import left hand drive when you could have bought an Australian right hand drive?
Australia eh?
So whereabouts in the USA are you?

Actually, yes you do. You have volated the forum rules numerous times, been warned and still persist in textspeak and personal attacks.
You have most likely mis-represented yourself and your vehicular experiance-the latter is not a "crime" (if so most every ricer forum would be empty) but in doing so you have wasted the time and goodwill of numerous people who have replied to your posts. You have posed these questions on other forums previously perhaps for entertainment,. perhaps for genuine education-if the latter you have not drank at he fountain of knowledge.
You are doing the "stick in the hornets nest" most likely for personal entertainment, it is "bad form" and not looked kindly upon here at gt40s.com. Ron had worked hard to provide a forum with high signal to noise ratio, it is not perfect but it is much better than any other similar types of automotive forum.
Once more as I said before, if you don't like/want our answers, don't ask us the questions!

Text speak?
I have not done that in quite a few posts now. Are you seeing things? Since it was said about 15 posts ago, I have tried to not press 'u' and so forth. I dont know what you are talking about. Even in the quote you produced (deleting part of it for amusement purposes?) there is no text speak.
I also have not mis-represented myself. When I signed up to this forum, I clearly stated that I do not have a GT, I also stated it may be 12-24 months before I do have one and that I would like to be part of the forum and learn about the car. I even mentioned the previous forums I was on while trying to decide what I was really after and how I got crucified on ferrarichat.com because I wanted to 'modify' a Diablo. When I came on here I said I wanted to 'modify' a GT and then got told by members 'if you are after a light car and after something that will be personlized to you, why not a GT40 replica? It will be cheaper and you will get everything you wanted out of it". Thats how I ended up wanting a GT40.
There was no mis-representation anywhere, I have been transparent ever since post one. I even called Dimi up to see his GT40 , he asked me about my current situation and I told him, its not something im buying now as I dont have the money for it, but with the business Im doing, 12-24 months I should be able to get one. Again, transparency. So I dont like your false accusations. I did not do anything for the sake of entertainment value, thats just sick to do that.
Since nothing makes sense to you, even though I have said this stuff 100 times already... Im going to give it to you AGAIN, this time with background and then hopefully it sinks in.
I owned a 1987 Trans-Am before. It was a beautiful car and I was alot younger. I kinda wanted to get in the muscle car world though, so, I went and baught a 1972 Valiant Charger VH, 245ci straight 6 hemi. This car was not really what I was after either because something about aussie muscle cars I do not like. The shape of them just isnt everything. In the meantime I managed to get more funds and the thing I thought would not happen, became possible. I went and baught a 1970 Dodge Challenger (which I still own). Over time with all the crap, people taking money, not doing the jobs and so on so forth, the car still being a project car, I had enough of it. I rang up Mike (Mr Angry) in new York and asked few things. This lead me to buy the 1968 Dodge Charger. Was red 4 speed hurst. Car came, took it to a restoration shop to do the work on it (new suspension, clutch, so forth), they said the whole car was rusted out and would cost 20 000 to fix. So I put it on sale and got the blue one I have posted pictures on here. Luckily I got that off a friend so I knew I wasnt gonna get ripped off. However before the Red charger sold, I found out the restoration shop was lieing and charging 200% more than any other company on parts and labour. What should have cost 6700 they were charging me 16000 etc (which I did not get done) so thats how I ended up with 2 68 Chargers. Either way, the red one sold few weeks ago and I am left with my Blue 68 Charger and my project (complete car) 70 Challenger.
While owning this car, I thought I would always love muscle cars, because nothing looks as tough as them, so, I was a member on the cuda-challenger and dodge-charger forum (as I had 1 of each). I was learning much about engines, options, and so forth. Initially I was going to build a street/drag car. So I was looking at SS leaf sprigs, 0.88 T-bars to achieve weight transfer and so forth to make it ideal for that. However, speaking to my friend in america, he said that all it would gain is perhaps 1 second faster than had I made the car handle (better for cruising) yet would not be so consistent like the handling car. So as time went on I decided to want to go handling. I had the chance to see what that is about, and it is much more fun than just a quick quarter mile. Then I signed up to the pro-touring website. They werepeople with experience on how to make muscle cars handle. So as I was learning all about that, the costs it would take to take on such a project I got involved in a business endorsed by Donald J Trump. As I was part of the business, part of the milion dollar thinkers, people that were earning 200 000+ every 30 days and so forth, my mentality changed. As business personl, am I going to be better off turning up to my scheduled business meetings in a muscle car or a ferrari? Having thought about it like that, realising that a ferrari which was only ever a dream may be a reality now, I then thought about the pro-touring stuff. Cost etc. Then I thought "well, I own a complete original charger which really looking at it, would be stupid to chop up because its hard to find ones as original as mine WITH a complete service history". Also, costing 200 000 to get XV Motorsports lvl 2 suspension, a 528ci all alluminium hemi and so forth... I realised, yes its possible, but I would rather own a Lambo for that. This is when I had a test drive in a F355 ferrari. Once I sat in that I realised what a muscle car could never give, and it was the tight, go-kart like feel the ferrari produced. Also the Charger would never be a 'ferrari'. So I thanked everybody on the pr-touring website for all the help, and they were cool with it, because had it not been for all those discussions I would not have learned what I really 'wanted'. So they did help, help me find what I am trully after. This is when I signed up to the Ferrari forum, I knew the business was going to go well and so forth, so I wanted to find out which F355 I should import. While I was at it, I asked about the Diablos because It was my dream car (always liked it more than ferrari). However,people said If I plan to modify these cars I may aswell get some garbage car that is a track car and not ruin a Diablo. This ofcourse made sense, but at the same time, I do like a car that is personalized. So my journey continued and I ended up here. I can have a car that we built, personalized to me, without ruining an original car and so forth. It was perfect.
My education has always been, from majority of engine builders, even those building them for race, that bigger is better. More reliable, lives longer and so forth. So because I always 'knew' from the feedback of the majority, I wanted to see 'well why then a small block' and thats how that thread started. I wanted to see the value in owning a SB over a BB. I didnt want to be biased and just say BB rules. Thats why those questions came as they did.
And anyways, the rest of my questions were also genuine.
Now in regards to why ask about 'handling' when I dont even race.
Well - If I baught a Diablo, does it handle more than I can ever use? Yes. Does that mean I shouldnt buy one? No.
To me, I get joy knowing 'my car is capable of', not "I can use its capability' which ofcourse would be good to learn to do. I like the car for what it is. Given I wanted to get a Lambo and whatever, I figured, "Why not make this gt40 which is personalized to me without destroying an original handle as good as some exotic cars?"
To me that would be awesome to drive irrelivant of whether I could use it or not. Just knowing what it is capable of makes it an Awesome car.
Thats why those questions. Since Im going to be spending the dollars to build the car in the first place, may aswell build it really fast once rather than building it normal, drive, get experience and then throw more dollars at it to upgrade. So I figured I may aswell get the Lambo handling to start with, with a GT40 body bolted on, get the track experience needed to be able to use this handling, and as I get better, the car still has more and more it can give.
Just like if i baught a Lambo, i couldnt use its capability "but it is a lambo". So whocares, The point is owning it, not whether or not the capability can be used by the driver. I looked at the GT40 the same way. Mayswell build it like a super car, irrelivant of whether I can use it or not, the point was, it is what it is "its a supercar".
Thats all.
Hopefully that lets u realise whats been going on and why the changes. If that doesnt clear the air, then nothing will. I will keep saying one thing and keep getting falsley accused via something else. So, thats it really. There is no lies, entertainment value posts or anything. Just genuinly as you read above.

I live near sydney in australia. I own a 68 Dodge Charger (not the valiant/aussie charger anymore).
Those photos are from the US where I baught the car from. I didnt have a digital camera at the time, so when the car got here, I never took photos of it. I do have one now, but Im waiting for this original power-steer pump to arrive so the power-steer place can replace it as the Rotary and Vain on the original was wrecked and thus not servicable.
