A race went down tonight. No Z's involved. But a race Cady Vers Ford. The Cady- 83 with 307 Ford-Ranger- 23NES 2.3 Twin Overhead Cam(mine)

The race went on for awhile, we broke it off due to traffic. He dissaperd behind me. A mile or two, he snuk up on me and hit the pasing lane comin hard. I downshifted to 4th. I was able to even it out Before he passed me. Then, i took him. WOT @ 118MPH and still accelerating when the off ramp for me came up. We both got off and meet at a gas station. He said he will Never underestamate another Ranger. I told him it ain't nothin but a 4 banger 2wd with 31X10:50's. He was just shocked. Nice guy. Ranger makes me proud again.

I don't have a fast car either but I can smoke the hell out of that one tire...See thread under 280zx "My silly ZX Video" It is my 1426hp and 2679tq 280zx with a L28ETTTT 3.8L quad turbo straight six. It runs on pure N2O and is alcohol injected, propane injected and methane injected!!!! I have a custom header on it and each header pipe is 3" in diameter and goes through a 8" exhaust and terminates at a 2" tip!!

does your dad have a 99 SHO? If so, it's a 3.4 L and it has 235hp and it's made by yamaha. This is the highest hp taurus to ever hit the floor with the previous generation's SHO in a close second with 220hp. There has never been a 3.8L duratec put into a Taurus. The only 3.8L ever offered for the Taurus was in the 90-95 Taurus/Sable, which was not a Duratec. That motor is called the Essex and has 140hp.

Hey, race my buddy's 95 SHO. It's not really fast, but it'd give your NA or your 260z a run if it were finished.

it was an easy project, small spots on the floor boards, lower dog leg panels, front left fender and headlight bucket, he kinda scored at $200 plus he got a spare front k-member and the entire rear suspension assembly including a diff, plus a phoenix fuel cell..

oooo a fuel cell... fancy.... i been thinking aboot converting the 260Z fo EFI but on a standalone system so i can buy less adn it will run better. i just am new to standalone systems that the only scary part. then i would cam it maybe bore it a lil bit later on and then get coil on plug style ignition. but that standalone is spooky... and who knows stuff about lonewofl intake manifolds? cuase i went to teh site and tis soo retardedly general and has 3 different pics of intake manifolds for our cars... but no description.
and im somewhat quiting oin the l28et idea cause i can find crap around me.. the engine in virginia is just a long block with no dizzy or manifolds or turbo or fuel system...

if you're going to bore a motor during a build, you do it first, not later. What are you talking about right now?
