The end is near...
I like to be different from everyone else…..kind of a trendsetter let’s say
Not understanding basic English punctuation definitely doesn't make you different or a trendsetter.
I don't have a 416 so you lost me there, I didn't keep track of what I spent and that makes no sense what you suggested and since nobody else in the world does that kind of race either they agree with me, are you now making the rules for my open invitation race with the mile criteria? The car originally was legal with the 8 pt roll bar it has but has since migrated into something faster and albeit I do want more cage for my safety I have another car that has a 8.50 cage in it if I wanted to run legal 1/4 mile and since 99% of the tracks localish to me are 1/8th mile I have always asked in advance and they all said I was fine to run there so no worrying about me being DQ'd on a 1/8th mile track, It was just me picturing you in my head along with the 3 other guys on here that agree with you of how you treat and drive your car.......my apologizes if I am mistaken.
Yeah, sorry I don't give a single crap about the current displacement of your engine, I'd have to care to know that.
I also don't believe for one second you don't know how much money you spent building it, since pretty much every post you make about your car involves how much money it's worth.
All I was doing is pointing out that you made the rules for your little stunt race so they favored you and your build, and put enough requirements on it you knew it would never happen anyway. Especially since you won't travel. All just so you can say no one will take you up on your offer.
But if the point of your little stunt is actually to prove which is better, the LA or the Gen III, a financial cap makes a lot more sense than requiring it to be N/A. A lot of the improvement in technology that's happened in between is having a supercharged factory engine that will last 100k+ miles without any issues. A lot of the factory LA's from the 70's struggled to make it to 100k even making less than 300 hp. And since the Gen III was likely designed with forced induction in mind, it's not surprising they do so well with it.
And nobody does that kind of a race? Weird, here's one right here...
$3k Drag Challenge - A-body vs B-body
I think most of the automotive magazines out there run engine competitions with a dollar cap, pretty much the same deal isn't it?
You probably heard about it already because it was several years ago but some wiz kids actually hacked into late model Chrysler products and was able to 100% control them remotely....they did it to prove how easy it could be accomplished. Rumor had it that Chrysler offered them a job, lol
Basically were all screwed but I certainly won't put myself voluntarily in a position to be at the front of the line when that day comes....they will have to fight to get me
And somehow you think that doesn't apply to the Toyota you daily drive?
