G,
Thanks for the lookup and PM...I've been driving the TR guys crazy since
about January, lol!

I just have to find a tar joint somewhere around me that can "do them"
carefully and well.

Head: yes, I'm after and getting the newer F1 GS-D3s.

let's see.. was on the formula SAE team and came in 3rd when you were 6 years old. Built and raced rotory 13B's and 12A, honda B18C's, 4G63's and a grand national motor all during that time.

You still haven't answer the question, have you driven a vette? Also, how do you define efficiency?? HP per liter as in volumetric efficiency? The debate could go quite a few ways. MPG efficiency? If your motor makes any torque, drivetrain loss and diff ratios etc will play less into but you CANNOT take that out of the equation.

Ever heard of the term sum of parts is greater than the whole? If you are only considering motor, then you have completely missed the boat on a great design.

V, you killing me buddy.. 2 semesters only and you consider yourself an expert?? That's like watching 2 hours of porn and saying you now know everything about women....

same problem here. Last I heard they are finally just ending the strike at goodyear. My wife is still waiting for her new set for her S4.

I gotta find a set of replacement tires: my oem's are nearly bald
in front. Rears are tolerable, but close to the wear bars.

Goodyear has had the F1 Supercar non-run flats on BO since
winter. I'm getting desperate, but I really want those GY F1s.

Let's leave the tech let alone this time...it's beaten it to death. Yes, I've driven a regular Vette, GTO and Monaro. Nice, but doesn't completely do it for me. Still...my first post was addressing a comment regarding power and never condemned the vette. Diff strokes..

Was I hasty/impulsive in churning out that reply? Yea.. but the point is that don't assume I/anyone-my-age is blowing sunshine at you just cuz we're young. There's plenty of us who don't just make our cars pretty and turn up the music. Me an expert..hell no!! and don't claim it.

Chicks..no amount of experience will help get verything about them. Don't bother bringing logic/reasoning to the table there cuz that'll only make your head hurt. (ladies.. )

Does a lady with larger displacement juggs allow for a bigger and more efficient push-rod or does she just come alive at peak stroke
