Ah yes... crossdrilled brake lines... hose are an excellent addition... I added those to my XR4Ti (2400 hp because it has a turbo and the number 4 in it) and they really improved the pedal feel - now I can push the pedal ALL the way to the floor, and it moves so much easier! of course when i want to stop I have to find something to run into... but thats another issue entirely, I think it has something to do with the tires.

Ah yes, it's the tires man!! You need full on drag slicks to compensate for the crossdrilled lines, and the AABS! Then, you get traction, and the ability to offroad! Because we all know, that dragslicks were made for offroading!

!!!!!!!ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!!!!!! I was watching road and track this morning, and I saw the newest, move improved (even though its new, its improved..) car in the world. The maker has not yet been released but here's some spec.'s on it. It has AABS, so it can stop whenever you want (they're yellow). It has yellow seat belt pads and head rests, to prevent death. It's turbo charged which puts it up to 3295HP, with 74325TQ. Also, the gas pedal spins (it goes through the floor, and comes back up around facing the drivers seat) for better acceleration. And to make sure it gets good enough sound, the car IS one big subwoofer. Aparently the thrust from the air being pushed out of it is enough to make it fly. ..............................................why did i just waste 4 minutes writing all of this?

It is an addiction... once you start you can't stop...
For example... why am I responding? Because I can't seem to find any better way to spend these 45 seconds...

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I LAUGHED SO HARD @ A COMPUTER SCREEN!!!  Um guys... what happens when you turbocharge a .05L engine, put yellow rims on it, and a REALLY BIG WING??? I thought I saw one yesterday, but Honda doesn't make jetplanes, do they??? I should go to bed...

Ahh yes, the "big wing theory". If you take the height of your wing, multiply it by the weight of the wing, then add 347,502....that will be your new top speed. The yellow rim's only have an effect on its ability to "raise up" (like Inspector Gadget). The turbo charged .05 litre engine, makes it as loud as a lawn mower, but the speed is already factored into the "Wing Equation"

For God's sake, learn you engines man... The Wing equation is the height of Wing multiplied by the Length of Wing. All that multiplied by how big of an Ego the driver has. That gives you the HP rating...

Now come on Steve, some people just can't comprehend the magnatude of the "wing equation". Andy, here's what it breaks down to. Say I'm driving my Mom's ex-car. A 1994 Aerostar. Because it has the word "Aero" in it, and "star" too, that automatically means it can fly. BUT! When I put the wing on the back of the roof, and could no longer fit under bridges on the expressway, I thought, "Ryan, why don't you just fly over them instead?" So I flew. I figured I could because "Aero" and "star" and because of the wing. The wing was 4ft. by 15ft. and weighed 502lbs. Multiply that, and you get a big number...causing flight.
