not to mention you make less power when using E85.

You're literally better off getting sons 150 proof moonshine and using it instead.

Usually not an issue.  I don't drive my beast too fast anyway....

Hole sheet, Hennessey Venom F5 got unveiled
They're targeting around 1,400 horses, 2,866 lbs (1,300 kg) and 290 MPH (466 KMH) top speed.
Oh yeah it also doesn't look like a stretched out elise now




Only about 30 will be produced, you'll have to pay 1.2 millions for one though

Pff, pennies.

I wish.

I saw that Hennessey earlier on top gear's site, looks pretty cool.

I get annoyed with super limited edition vehicles. It is better looking than the Venom though.

i just realized that in Virginia if you do 30 over the limit you get a reckless driving ticket and will most likely have to at least spend the night in jail

never
speeding
again

maybe a little
i'll just blame it on my gas pedal being too light and i went over a bump and i accidentally pushed it down too far

[Georges]

That's only if you get caught though!

so after about 10 months from my dad saying he'd help me get a car for my 16th bday he tells me he doesn't have the money to buy me a used car

...but then goes out and buys his girlfriend a (used) mercedes benz suv

i get it's his money but i'm still super pissed because he claimed he didn't have the money (to buy a car under $5k) but then buys one well over $30k for his girlfriend

[Georges]

Whoa that sucks.

[Skig²]

Thanks, dad...

I am so happy guys.

my dad is helping me build a 1993 RX7. The shell (full interior intact and everything but a motor and transmission) is 5000. transmission is 2k, Motor is 3k, new brakes (my mom didn't want me to own a car this fast unless it had bitching brakes, so im getting Brembo GTs) 1k, in total to build around 12k-ish.

A used one on craigslist (abused drift car) is 25k.

The transmission is BRAND NEW and the engine is rebuilt with ALL NEW PARTS and I AM SO EXCITED I AM loving CAPITALIZING EVERYTHING.

Normally I would do the "hey he does what he wants its his money" but then pulls that mercedes bullstuff. I would be so loving mad.

I've heard that rotary engines can be difficult to work with. I've found some RX-7s for sale near here but my dad has watched people trying to work on them back when he was a car salesman. He saw that it was usually pretty time consuming and awkward to work with.

They are awesome cars though, so as long as you know what you're doing, that's cool.
