I'm assuming we are getting close to Ford releasing the pricing on these right? I swore I remember reading somewhere that prices would be revealed by the end of May?

I like to get all my information from thePill.

Certainly the S2000 was not a torque monster when compared to GT500/FGT/etc. but the engine spooled fast and once in that power band it really came alive. It wasn't that hard to get the car sideways in 2nd or even 3rd gear, especially in wet conditions or while hard accelerating out of a corner...

You are correct, the F20C/F22C engines in the AP1/AP2 S2000s are amazing engines. They were eventually "downgraded" to 237bhp when some measuring requirement was changed by the government if I remember correctly, but either way you're still talking around 120bhp per liter (the F22C in the AP2...

What a great (and sad) story. As a lifelong 49ers fan, I've come to despise the Seahawks over the last few years. Russell Wilson is probably the only person in that franchise I respect and like. Now you've comfirmed my feelings on this kid. You're right, he deserves more than what he has...

Very cool pictures and story! I wonder if the misspelling of Enzo Ferrari's name was one last little jab or an honest mistake?

I think you are correct. :wink

I thought about that after I posted it lol.

Well said! My ex-wife cost me a couple of million by the time the divorce was done. Live and learn.

I would define the nature of the emergency first. Things like tail rotor failure and main gear box seizure would be emergencies that I would not want to experience in flight. Otherwise, I agree, mostly. :wink

Great pictures GT38! I finally got to fly a UH-1 a couple years back. Ironically, it was not in the Marines. Went up with the local crop dusting guy from my home town. Was a fun evening, nothing like flying 10 feet off the ground, at night, 80 KTS, and having to dodge powerlines at the end of...

I've got a couple thousand hours in them. :wink Don't let people scare you, if you do have an emergency you can land it in your front yard, obstacles permitting. With fixed wing, you better have a long, flat, open stretch of pavement to put her down (safely). :biggrin Just make sure you spend...

You most certainly can sir. Thanks Chip. I'll try, I feel like there's a lot more to come.

Gentleman, As most of you all are probably aware, the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT or often called The Long War) is winding down despite the current upheaval we are witnessing around the globe and especially in the Middle East. A long time ago I was fortunate to meet a man on here that many...

Very nice! I was sad to see Valentino Rossi leave Ducati in MotoGP. They're beautiful bikes!

I agree A LOT with this. Use stuff LE uses, much easier to defend in court due to all the testing that LE has to do with ammunition that they carry. People always forget that after the shooting, there's going to be a lot of court time whether you were justified or not. I highly recommend...

Charley, First off, good luck on your endeavors. I did a cursory glance of your resume and I did catch a few things I would change. I am by no means a professional resume writer so others may chime in and make different suggestions. The first thing I noticed was the use of several acronyms...

Great write up as usual Chip and awesome pictures. One thing I don't miss is standing in formation for changes of command. With that being said, congrats to Waldo and good luck on your next assignment. Fair winds and following seas Marine. Semper Fi, Matt aka Clown

A great cause and looks like you had fun!

Excellent!
