I think it's all in fun. Everyone gets frustrated sometimes, me especially but it's just the internet. I take Kennedy's posts with a lot of sarcasm, I think that's the way he means most of them anyway.

Eric's car is unique and very nice. I respect the fact that he tells the truth about his dyno numbers without excuses. I'm confident this will be the fastest 3G around once it's taken to the track.

I wish they'd use red characters so we can differentiate when they aren't serious...

It's not a fight. It's a discussion of physics vs. aestetics... and never did I laugh at Eric's numbers, nor did I say i would spank him... E said all that. In fact, his #'s are right where I figured, and predicted over a year ago, they'd be...
I'm not making fun. In fact, i've actually been friendly in my last 4 posts. E's honesty in where he stands is refreshing. Perhaps my change in tone from sarcastic asshole to human being has thrown the forum for a loop.

It is just in fun... mmade, relax... I could give a shit if my car is faster than his. It's not like I tear through the neighborhood racin kids. My TL is under a cover right now while I sip on a Jameson and banter on the internet.

Clearly, he has the time and resources to make his car as fast as he wants it to be... but he's focused on other things, like show winning appeal. Inevitably, he'll end up with a big bore and 500HP before he's done.

I like to poke at E a bit because the kids here all salivate over the look... but at the heart of that look, it is what the numbers show... and I'm sure more will follow.

But aside from that, with all the ribbing, I THINK E and I are on the level. He knows, we're just two grown men playing with toys... it's who's toy is bigger is the universal arguement.

learning to speak in riddles and circles comes with age young jedi.

I'm glad you think it's awesome. The temps dropped to the low 60s tonight, but i was busy driving the new girly.

...in other words, i do have something to report, ...but i'm trying to find the most clever way to reveal the news.

Beartcat94 with the type-S was the one who was autocrossing. I've never autocrossed in my TL. Congrats on running in first place!

It does a good job. I can't wait for the 30-40 degree temps, it's going to be a blast hehehe.

And thanks for the comments man. I feel honored to have built a car that serves as someone's idol, it means a lot.

Thanks for the nice comments man! I'll definitely let you know down the road if i decide to sell it with all the stuff on it for whatever reason.

Well this motor in particular actually makes 0 horsepower at the moment. And the motor in the 6MT, well, it makes a lot more horsepower i'm sure.

It most certainly will.. Any bigger on my setup would be a greater loss of boost - at least this is what I'm told my tuner & installer. Currently running 6 lbs of boost, i'm sure that'll decrease; the boost gauge will be the judge of that

10lb pulley has been ordered through SFP; 4 week lead time

On the hunt for injectors now.
