[ QUOTE ] Yes, but if you want those last couple tenths of a second in the quarter mile for bragging rights then that's what you do. Drag racing is fun, but if you let your ego get caught up in it it can get expensive! [/ QUOTE ] My favorite quote: "You gotta pay to play." -Shannon

[ QUOTE ] What do you mean by powershifting? [/ QUOTE ] Two different types of shifting... 1. Powershifting: shifting gears while using the clutch, but not taking your foot off the accelerator. 2. Speedshifting: Shifting without using the clutch.

Sorry for the lack of response, I'm on vacation with limited access to a PC. Ron, the site is ready to go, I've updated it with all the articles that I've recieved. It also has a list of manufacturers, build sites etc... I'm also wanting to change the look of the pages a little, but this...

I've got a AVI all-in-wonder card that has an input to hook a VCR to and record it to just about any format...Very simple. Let me know if your interested. -Shannon

Ron, Whats my password? Just kidding, -Shannon

[ QUOTE ] Well, knowing that these are the colors that Ron is going to use on his RF 40, I'd say that this is quite appropriate. It just dawned on me that you used the oil painting tool on the photo. I'm not sure because when I first looked at it, I just thought there was a resolution issue...

Hello all, A while ago Ron mentioned that he was contemplating trying to find a new logo for the website. Well I have photoshop and a little time on my hands so I found a photo off of the NZ website and decided to "work" with it. I think it's a pic from John S. Allen's "GT40: The Legend...

hmmm... My first thought was YES definitely, but the more I thought about it the more I think no. One of the best things about a forum like this is the search engine.... If I want to know where's the best place to buy a certain type of rear view mirrors, well then a quick search would have a...

I know it's expensive, and BIG.... but that cammer motor with weber injection would look and sound SOOOO cool in a 40... Just my .02 -Shannon

[ QUOTE ] And of course, since I sell epoxy and urethane paints, you need to paint your floor! (Not that I'm advertising.) [/ QUOTE ] Haa!! My wife and I are in a battle right now. She wants a new kitchen, I want a garage. But her's cost three times what mine does. Damn, how are those...

Lynn, What in the heck does a metal blender do? Thanks for the dolly offer, I may take you up on that. Contrats on the G50/50 find! -Spm

Has anyone had any experiences with the run-flat tires? I know the new vette z06 uses them. -Shannon

Thanks guys for all the ideas... I've decided on a 24'x24' shop (the term "shop" being used only because it sounds better than "garage" to my wife. ). I agree HVAC is a must... especially when summer temps are usually in the high 90's here in North Carolina. However I don't think that I can...

[ QUOTE ] Just remember it doesn't have the power of a V-8. [/ QUOTE ] Remember the MR2 Turbo a few years ago.. it was a high 13 1/4 mile car... it was pretty fast for what is was. The newer MR2's are nice, if not a little cute. The last generation was my favorite. If you could find a...

Hello all, I'm putting together plans for a "shop" that will eventually house my GT40 project. My question is: from the point of view of building a gt40, how big should the garage be and what components should I include? Mind you all these suggestions have to get by my wife. Thanks for any...

Re: Your opinion and please don\'t flame me to bad! Joebio, Hmmm.. interesting question you pose... but might I suggest waiting a while before you jump into a Valkyrie. If I'm not mistaken, the Valkyrie is VW based and "sorta" looks like a GT40. I feel like I'm in the same boat that you're...

Julian, Would something like this work?.. its a photochop of a new GT40, but I could easily do this to any photo if I have a front, back and side views. -Shannon

Jim, I don't think anyone here is doubting the car's features, condition or abilites. It's a beautiful machine. But still it's a REPLICA of a 1965 MKII and not actually built in 1965 as the ad suggests. The fact that it's licensed, same tooling used, etc. is irrelevant. The day that Ford...

[ QUOTE ] No one would be that naive...would they? [/ QUOTE ] You've got to be kidding right? -Shannon

[ QUOTE ] Am I the only one who thinks it's unethical to try to pass off a Safir car as a "1965" Ford GT40? [/ QUOTE ] I've seen this done with Cobras all the time, but yes I agree with you. Unless it was built in 65, the ad should say "Replica of a 1965...." -Shannon
