There's been a mid-late seventies- built street/strip Gremlin under a car cover in the driveway of a guy down the street from my parents since I was in elementary school. I should go down there and see if it's for sale. loving thing has ladder bars, slicks and skinnies, a bug catcher, the works. It would be amazing.

Q_res posted:edit: Also, the Mallett LS7-swapped Solstice will always be the modern Cobra of my heart. I remember when Hot Rod built their LS7 Solstice. There was a few mentions of how it almost seemed like GM engineered the Solstice to fit an LSx... So now I have another craigslist search...

That caprice doesn't sound like it's modified, it sounds like they sawz-alled the catalytic converter and muffler. It actually sounds more like the 3.8/4.3L V6 base-level engine, depending on what year it was. A lumpy-cammed V8 doesn't sound like that... Thing...

iwentdoodie posted:Class 1, so unlimited buggies. It has plenty of power, the issue so far is motor controller programming (guy they contracted to is way past his deadline) and funding period. The car runs roughly the same battery pack as a Tesla, which isn't cheap. They have two, and are hoping to get enough money raised to buy two more that way they can be hot swapped during "fuel" stops. The owner/driver has won at Baja before in a Beetle, so at least there is experience behind it. That's loving awesome. Post more about it if you can. Probably also relevant over in the EV megathread.

This thread needs more LSR. http://youtu.be/Le6aCV_CRvQ 457mph one-way flying-mile, 462mph exit speed. Wheel-driven, 368ci turbocharged small-Chevy.  They hurt it, and were unable to make the backup pass required to set an official record, but holy gently caress that thing moves.

MrChips posted:These are the very same people who think that the next Corvette will very definitely be mid-engined this time. Totally. Not like the last time when we were wrong, or the time before that, or the time before that one either. This time we've totes got it. I've had several friends, all car guys, who should know better, say something along the lines of "Ya, the C7 is beautiful, but I can't wait for the mid-engined C8!" It makes me want to punch them.

until Christian started talking about the idea of using the pistons to compress air in a tank during braking for later use as either "instant turbo" or the possibility of running as a pure compressed air engine to get some of that braking energy back. Then I was

A3th3r posted:e: ^^^^^ Airplane engines blow my mind, man.. They just seem sketchy from a car driver's perspective. Keep in mind that the rotary radials they're talking about are contemporary (1914-1918) with automobile engines equipped with manual-crank starters, manual choke, manual mixture, manual spark advance, exposed rocker arms, total loss oiling, etc, etc. Hell, oil filters were an option on most products from the big three into the middle of the 1950s.

Wasabi the J posted:In the interest of keeping the forum internationally friendly, can we use passing lane or exit lane for clarity? Nope. You should all learn to drive like us.  How bad is it going from a RHD manual transmission to LHD, or vise-versa? I've only ever driven LHD, and the thought of first being out and up makes my brain hurt.
