  1. I would argue that the same can be said for tires. Less sticky tires are more fun at much lower speeds. I know I have fallen into the more power / more traction trap a few times. Add power to slide the car at will - it becomes fun. Add traction to handle the power, you miss the slide-at-will part.
  2. my wife insists slower is indeed better.
  3. Here it varies from state to state. Where I am, and a few others, if your car is old enough, you're exempt.
  4. I see that, and i'll raise you a "i have no windshield". I just plan on pulling over and covering up in rain... unless there is soaking rain right from the start. Then I'll take the vette.
  5. heh... alright. one other thing. I was using estimated engine hp, not rwhp. so, using rwhp, and 2000 lb/ton, i get 485 and for good measure 535 hp/tonne
  6. Skip, using Hank's equasion, I come up with 604 for my car. With stickier tires now, I'm definitely feeling the need for a little more
  7. first one is interesting... 2nd one (electronic turn signal): there was a thread about it a while back with people listing several competitive products and their features.
  8. Welcome aboard! Now we have one more home away from home to crash when traveling overseas
  9. weather.com says: Slight chance of a thunderstorm. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s. We can always cover the cars... as long as we get there and back dry. BTW, we are at IE100 and IE101
  10. as he is bolting on a turbo
  11. Where is Norm?
  12. Croc, please look at the pics in this thread: http://www.usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2424&highlight=carlisle We were basically in front of the grand stand last year, and I believe we'll be around the same area again this year. you can see the stands in a few of the pics... it'll give you an idea when you get there. I will post a tent number when I get it. See you there! make sure you mention you are with USA7s when you pay. If we get 25 entries, they'll wave our tent fee.
  13. when i work on it. /thread
  14. I'd be a little upset if someone sat in my car without asking. If they ask, I'd be happy to let them. Something about respecting people's property.
  15. Do say, what was the purpose?
  16. women occasionally, but not specifically as a group. you get smiles, waves, and thumbs up from 4 year old kids all the way to 80 year old men.
  17. I'm running around looking for my tape measure to see if a LS1 will fit in it
  18. In fact, the autox cone material is just perfect for that purpose I wonder if I can drag a few away under my car and make some fenders with them
  19. put this in a seven, and when you engage the starter, the crank will stay still and the seven will spin around it
