More importantly, what does the union say about the compensation? I mean, the extremely high quality writing on this network of websites demands only the greatest of Doritos.

That definitely doesn’t sound like a flat-plane crank. Everyone is speculating a FI version of the Voodoo, but I’m thinking more of an embiggened FI Coyote.

If it’s corn from New Jersey, there’s nothing needed. This will just ruin it.

I mean, Charleston has a Whole Foods.

That’s awesome!

Yeah, I remember those days. It was no different on the Taurus forums. I knew a couple of guys that had 3.0L swapped SVTs, and I think one went with the SVT top-end, while the other stuck with the Taurus top-end. IIRC, there were pluses and minuses to various components from the Escape’s 3.0L, as well. In any case, I…

I see nothing that makes this a hipster car. This is a well restored, updated, and upgraded Land Cruiser. There is nothing ironic about this vehicle. There are no florescent colors. There isn’t a wash of pink and orange talcum powder, left over from a Color Run. I don’t see the seat covers constructed from artisanally…

Interesting that you chose to stick with the Taurus top end, rather than swap the SVT heads and cams. Any reason? Also, agree on the LSD, though it looks like the Quaife is north of $1000, just for parts, now!

I had that 3.0L in my Sable and my Taurus, and it was a great engine. Smooth, rev’d quickly, quiet, and surprisingly quick for only 200 HP. I’ve driven a couple SVT ‘tours with the 3.0L swap, and the top end from the 2.5L wakes the engine up a LOT. The heads and the intake were very good, and worked well with a little…

Oh yeah. Derp. Brain fart!

Why not the diesel? The V-10 got shit mileage, whereas the diesel has great power, tows a metric shit ton, gets really good mileage (a former coworker reported high teens when towing his 10,000 pound travel trailer, and low 20s when not), and lasts forever.

Yeah, I don’t think Ford is scared of Porsche. The GT40 stopped racing because it was obsolete, and Ford wanted to focus on racing efforts that were more connected with its roots. The only reason Ford ever went to Le Mans was to screw over Enzo Ferrari, and they did so.

It is!

How did those 911 RSRs do yesterday?

It’s a federal information system, thus it’s required to be accredited under either DIACAP or DIARMF, each of which contain clauses requiring the backup of the system, testing of the backups, as well as various desktop exercises during the annual FISMA review. The data is there, they just need to figure out how to…

My wife and I are planning a two week trip to Europe for our fifteenth anniversary, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans being a big part of it. I’m going to give your write-up a good read. Thanks!

It’s fairly routine for drivers in touring cars to adjust their brake bias, fuel mapping, and sway bars at speed, on road courses. Why would Indy, where just about everything is within 12" of the steering wheel, be any different?

That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s more or less aggressive, as that can be dialed in with the spring rates and thickness of the sway bars. There’s a big school of thought that indicates that the strut tower brace doesn’t do much, especially when the chassis is sufficiently rigid, or enhanced by subframe…

YOU’RE THE MOST ORIGINAL COMMENTATOR! YOU DESERVE AN AWARD FOR ORIGINALITY!

Twinforce was a way better name. It’s bullshit that they dropped it in favor of greenwashing.
