Yeah I wondered about where all the dirt went, its sure is a big hole.

There were distrations so it was not entirely a goegraphical tour. Such as this woman, Jo from Virginia.

She flew over with her mum over to Las Vegas for her 80th birthday but she left the kid behind or so the story goes? All in all she was quite a handful..just would not leave me alone!

macka

Ps. There is at least on jealous female in CA who will curse me when she see this...Muhhahhaah.

guido,
Does the S3 now come with the new Audi nose-job?

Ian, did you ever wonder where they put all the dirt from that pit?

Hi,

Dont know, i am not that close with audi. I spammed in the thread because 'hotrod A3 = S3' is a valid equasion 😀

Normally the special models are always somewhat behind the normal models (if they r made in a different factory. Renault has this usually). Dunno bout audi

"especially along these lines...400+mph, 1000+hp supercharged V8..."

I gave the wrong specs for the top fuel...it's more like:

300+mph, 7000+hp (almost 1000hp per cylinder), SC V8 that can eat up a quarter mile in 4.5 seconds (that's 0-60mph for the fastest production car).


Id rather have a Nissan Skyline 1000hp awd Twinn Turbo : O )
 
actually a stock skyline is 280hp : O )

and no 2 turbos will not bring it to 1000hp.

My fav story there is a nice honda here in town looks nice it is not to riced out a big shot guy with is truck with a big ol 350 in it and lots done to it showing off saying his truck is faster because he has more power blah blah blah. Point of the story the HONDA rocket ROASTED HIM even though the truck had more power. some people just dont understand you have a nice big HEAVY 350 engine you need that engine to help it self bemoved let alone the truck just because you have a small little s10 with a 350 in it doesnt mean your faster. 4cylinder engine weigh 1/4 the weight as a 350..
 
dragsters.

It's all about power to weight. a friend sent me an article from the Corvette club: If a top fuel dragster is sitting on the start line (1/4 mile) and you cross the start line going 200mph in your Calloway vette, the dragster will pass you just past half track. The dragster uses more horsepower driving it's blower than the vette has. The g forces are up to 8gs and one dragster has more horsepower than the first row of the Daytona 500! It also stated that the nitro and air is so compressed by the blower that when it gets in the cylinders it becomes a solid! No wonder they have to rebuild those things every run. I was at the sand drags last weekend. My ex boss has an atv with 1000cc of alcohol powered Rotax making 230 rear wheel horsepower on the dyno! The atv with him on it weighs under 650 pounds. It's a fun ride!😀
