    Spectre 341(Nevada City Hill Climb)

    First I do want to say yes I made a mistake it is Virginia City in Nevada on state rte 341! The story that I heard was that LG dropped 6 seconds after he went up the hill in the Griggs Mustang and did some last minute suspension tuning. Remember LG was not acquitainted with this course like...

    Yankees' George Steinbrenner dies at 80

    I heard he had Billy Martin on his payroll till the day he died even though he was not working for him. Heard he also paid off one of his ex managers mortgages after he passed. It sounds as if he was very giving behind the scenes. Steinbrenner brought a lot of money into the game of...

    Droid vs. Blackberry?

    Unless it has full flash support any phone internet will be simalar to your experience with the blackberry. The Andriod should be getting it with 2.2 system upgrade but nobody knows when that will get here. Seeing the internet exactly the way one would on a computer is the exact reason I...

    Droid vs. Blackberry?

    I had a blackberry curve worked well but had an issue with sprint so I switched. Purchased a nokia n900 tablet that also makes phone calls. It has full flash support and is literally a pocket computer. No it does not show emails as fast as the blackberry but it works, plus I can always go...

    Sad news indeed. The Spetre 341 is the same track as the once Virginia City Hill Climb? They have been racing their the last few years, so I am guessing it was not an"official" race(they said the original race ran from 72 to 02) like it was this year under the name Spectra 341.

    Cool Blackbird story(SR-71)

    I have not seen this story here. I apologize if its been posted before. Written by Brian Schul - former sled (SR-71 Blackbird) driver There were a lot of things we couldn't do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People...

    11 Shelby GT 500-While I wait for the Ford GT

    Nice!!! I want to get a mustang gt 5.0 some bolt ons and tune, then add the griggs ss kit with there adjustable panhard bar. But back on topic Ford did one outstanding job on the 2011 gt500, with the a/l block and the handling package. And it looks killer too! Congrats again Seeker!

    11 Shelby GT 500-While I wait for the Ford GT

    2112 Let us know how you like the suspension. Are you getting the ss kit or the full sla front end as well? For a daily driver I believe all one needs is the griggs ss kit which runs about the same price as the svt pack option does on the 11 gt500.

    11 Shelby GT 500-While I wait for the Ford GT

    R rated tires:) or you could ditch the stock suspension and go coil overs and torque arm bar with watts link, but that overkill....or is it?

    11 Shelby GT 500-While I wait for the Ford GT

    A tune pulley and exhaust work should have you in the area of 600rwhp(about 100 more than stock). One could do this type of work for about 2k. For a 3750lb car this would wake it up and yet still be very street-able from a traction and handling standpoint.

    11 Shelby GT 500-While I wait for the Ford GT

    What are you looking to do to it? Pulley tune long tubes, you paid extra for the svt pack so you dont need suspension work. The only reason to send it somewhere would be for the tune, and really you could get this done by just sending out the ecu not the entire car. Everything else you could...

    Magic trick by GM?!?

    That is not what GM is advertising. They are stating that the entire loan from the government/s has been paid off. This is not true. As it stands today GM will be using stocks(probably an IPO) to pay off the majority of the funds later this summer. As for the 8.1 billion they paid back to US...
