Look, both of you are pretty big fella's. I say you should get oiled up and do some greco roman wrestling at the meadow during SITM. Or maybe a potato sack race?






Thumb war?








Staring contest?

I am game.

Well, if that happened my money would be on Sonett III. Our age difference was enough such that he was always big enough to kick my arse when I was younger. He's still a big boy, but I'm now a bit more nimble. One time I took him out with a wooden block from behind the sofa at age 7...but I paid for it later that day.

Andrew...lighten up buddy. Stop over and introduce yourself this time...last year you walked right in front of Mark and I and never said a word to either of us. Like I said... no hard feelings. I would gather Mark is the way he is because of some of the things that have been broadcast by you in the past. Maybe he could bring a broken Sonett III part for your shrine? I believe I have a tail lamp from a 72 Sonett IIi in the basement.

Hey, at least Olson has the guts to put his last name to some of the things he writes (not that I agree with all of them, mind you). That's a lot more than can be said for some others! I got some really nasty PMs a while back from people who seem to think I don't know who they are. It's funny...you see these guys in public and you would never think they would look like they do. They just look like ordinary folks, but behind the computer they are different people. It always amazes me...with the ability to hide on the internet people can be very nasty...none of us would ever act that way in person to each other and that's a fact!

Until next time.

It's a friggen joke! Watch Monty Python's Holy Grail and you'll "get it." My bad for assuming everyone has seen it five... no three... times.

Did I? Don't recall. I was a bit out of my element last year without a car. (Still can't believe that crank pulley came flying off like that!) If I see you, I will introduce myself for sure this year.

I thought superchargers were more reliable....;)

So you got acceleration figures for the car yet?

HA HA HA:p

Not to hijack the thread and distract everyone from the bickering, but I will.

I was contemplating a wish list, for when I have a huge sack of disposable cash.

I was wondering about a stroker, twin-turbo system. Is that viable or overkill and should be either/or? Anybody wanna guesstimate a 6.5L twin-turbo system's HP and torque figures?

What would be suggested as far as clutch, rear-end, and tires, to make that street-able?

I know that the cost of that vehicle when done would probably be unreasonable and someone could just buy something in that range and be happy with it, but I'd like to have a unique 928 with those specs.

Assuming the stroker could make about 450 HP (pretty easy to do), on one bar you would be looking at about 900 HP...more if you turned it up.

Honestly, for a street car I can't see anybody using more than my car already has...maybe upstairs on the highway, but not in the lower gears. It would be overkill in my opinion. The nice thing about turbos is you don't need a lot of displacement to drive them and make big power numbers and have the car fully streetable.

Have a look at this:

Under 400 cubic inches and the car will run below 10 seconds in a 1/4 mile with dual turbos. It's nice to see someone applying modern technology like this in a heavily "big displacement and big blower" dominated marketplace. That is a major departure from the norm.
