Hi Ian, Please contact me via PM or email. Knighton [email protected]

How is it that they can release information and pricing through third parties and not post anything official on their website or respond to the forum moderators when approached directly? The rumored price started at 50k usd now it's 65k with no delivery dates in mind. My prediction is the real...

Coast High Performance 306 vs Roush 342R. Below is a dyno chart of the 306 and below that is a link to the Roush dyno chart (brochure) of their 342R. Very similar hp and tq specs for both motors! 306 makes 460hp and 400 lbs-ft. 342R makes 450 hp and 420 lbs-ft. Both motors make 325-ish...

I am considering going low tech concerning a vehicle (truck) to be used daily or as a back up. I remember grandma and grandpa had a 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 with a 390 motor. Grandpa never changed the oil - just topped it up. This car use to start in any weather (-40C), never being plugged in; the...

Is the Ford GT going to be released this spring as a 2005 model or will it be released in spring of 2005? How many production years? 2 years with 1500 cars per year? Any idea how many cars will be alotted for Canada? Just trying to clarify as the information is conflicting. Thanks...

A few little treasures for your viewing pleasures. SEE NEXT POST FOR CORRECTIONS.

Neat software program that estimates hp and tq using a very wide variety of engine components for all makes of engines. " Technical Overview: Here's how the DynoSim works: The simulation calculates the gas dynamic, thermodynamic, and frictional physics of virtually any 4-cycle...

There appears to be two lines of thinking when it comes to motors; high torque strokers (342, 347, 396, 408, 427) and lower torque motors (302, 306, 331). One line of thinking says that high torque strokers are difficult to drive and have no place in a GT40, while the stroker line of...

Something to consider for the GT40. For such a high performance car, keeping your eyes on the road is paramount. Even a quick glance down into the gauges can see plenty of real estate pass in a flash. Looking down to shift my GSX-R into high gear over 270 kph had me cover close to 100m of...

Here is an interesting motor formally used to propel torpedos but are now available for other applications making 200 hp @ 2000 rpm but 650 lb torque at 1,200 rpm! Dyna Cam Talk about lighting up the tires just off idle! Time to bring in the gearing gurus.

I just read an article on hp vs. tq posted by Steve Toner. http://www.g-speed.com/pbh/torque-and-hp.html "It is better to make torque at high rpm than at low rpm, because you can take advantage of *gearing*." :-) I am having difficulty wrapping my head around this statement. Doesn't high...

I read a post by Gordon Levy talking about destroking a NASCAR 358 or just a 351W and spinning it to 9,000rpm avec beaucoup de hp. Why destroke? What are the advantages? Would you destroke a motor for street use? So much talk about stroking motors but never the opposite. How would you...

What are the options when one gets a flat on a road trip? 1. Try that repair/sealant leak stuff in a can? 2. FED EX fresh rubber in for the next morning (you have a set at home or order from the manufacturer)? 3. Hope the gagrage you get a tow to has a 335/35/17 in stock?

Will someone post a few pics of a CAV removeable roll cage? Which roll cage is this? The kind that runs down the roof centerline or is it the kind that runs along the door/roof seems? Thanks

Do you pull back to shift up and push forward to shift down?

Are canards via #1051, available as an option on the CAV? Are the following also availble as options on the CAV? Traction Control Launch Control Remote Entry Electric Mirrors Cruise Control Full Imobiliser and alarm Dead pedal Removable Steering Wheel Luggage Boxes Or would these be...

This will be the colour/stripe combo for my 40!
