Maybe a different view? This, to me, is like the big oil and energy companies supporting the cap and trade proposals. On the outside it may appear that these companies want the best for the environment and the people. Reality is that a cap and trade system will monopolize the energy markets...

Hey, you can blame EFNFAST for bringing up the Mongoose, not me. I thought I was helping you out by pointing out that it was even heavier than Bruce stated. But hey, I've come to understand that no good deed goes unpunished on this forum.:huh:

Actually if you poke around a little and get to the latest updated version, it lists the GTP as 2665 lbs. Mongoose Motosports - GTP Replica Specifications Looks like that site is still under construction.

That's called TROLLING and I thought better people than that posted here, but NOW we are quite a bit off topic. A rotaries great, so long as you know what your in for.

OK. Let's review. Bruce ask about the possibility of using a rotary in an SLC. I gave my opinion that it shouldn't be for the average builder. RX Heven called BS on my opinion. I ask what was BS. Why exactly is that a thread hijack, rstallbaum? I don't know what it is, but many of...

Oh yes, and please elaborate on what exactly it is that I don't know what I am talking about according to you, RX Heven.

RX-Heven- I knew you would jump in on this one. Quite frankly, I don't care what you think. When I speak of rotary issues, I do so from first hand experiences. Granted I haven't had my hands on much three rotor stuff and not at all on the real four rotor stuff, but I have been involved in...

Ron, I, and probably many others, see this like we see the CA ban on black cars. While the proposal never really stated that black cars would be outlawed, the descriptions and requirements all but secured the banning of black cars. In the end a rule that calls for special glass, which was also...

I see no drawback to running a cooler other than cost, but that is relatively minimal.

Your question about how the bill of $25k sent them into BK was mine as well. I mean that is only about the cost of a nice "middle class" new car. Maybe people deciding to work the system? I don't know. Doesn't sound right to me. The HSA works great. One of the best parts is the fact that my...

You do that with a high deductable insurance plan. That way the individual has an incentive to NOT go in for a splinter, but if the GT40 falls on him, and he is majorly injured, he is covered. My high deductable plan hadn't raised the rate in the last 4 years. It just went up about 5.5% this...

FWIW I know of two people that built 600 HP 13Bs. One was on alcohol, in a drag car and broke every couple runs it seemed. The other was as a fun project and while the guy claimed 600 HP, I don't think he actually got there. It was fun though, from what I heard from people that got a ride in it.

Yes, and I get 230 HP out of my 12A with ceramic everything normally aspirated on 91 octane, but the cost to build the long block with carbs is about $20k. Is it something I would want in a street car? No. Sure you could get 400-500 HP pretty easily out of a 20B with port work, new turbo(s)...

Pretty much sums up how our government currently operates.....with a belief in "pennies from heaven". Democrats = Tax and Spend Republicans = Borrow and Spend There is only one common element to both those schemes. Seems to me that THAT is what should be addressed. We need LESS spending...

Exactly how does trading one bean counter for another solve ANYTHING!?! Except, of course, it employs more bean counters in the new proposed format. BTW- There's always lots of "stories" out there. I was speaking from personal experience. There IS a difference.

I have a 20B three rotor siting on my shop floor, turbos, intake, the whole nine. Problem is that they still don't produce much torque, are about the same weight as the LS and only put out about 350-400 HP in stock, reliable format. The ECU required is also very expensive. Sure 600 HP is able to...

I had the privelage of using the Canadian health care system while in Quebec a number of years ago. Ended up in an emergency room with 15-20 others in beds just lined up. Everything from the splinter in the finger to the naked screaming mentally disturbed guy that was handcuffed to the bed and...

While it is true that you may be doing a few custom things to personalize your ride, my real point over on the other forum was that if you wanted to go the custom DIY route, the GTM may be better, even though the costs are about the same. I am sure you, molleur, as well as other builders, are...
