My main point is when you use a supercharger vs a turbocharger the supercharger is mechanically driven by the engine, where the turbo is driven by exhaust gas.  An engine that doesn’t make a lot of power down low isn’t going to be as good with a supercharger vs a turbocharger as it will have a harder time spinning up…

You’re not talking about the worlds worst super hero Florida Man are you?

I keep looking for the thing that adds $3600 dollars to the value and I can’t find it. (being a Florida car maybe the trunk is filled with blow?) CP It’s a fairly meh on the desirability scale of the least desirable Z car ever made. It needs a paint job and probably a decent bit of mechanical work. NP only if he’s…

Yes, but a SBC in your example even setup correctly doesn’t start with anything close to an 11,000RPM redline, it makes peak power at probably half that. It’s also going to have a much closer torque to HP curve than this thing. Hence you could justify a Supercharger on an SBC much easier than an already high revving…

They have to rewire it because they forgot to install the quick battery disconnect. One of the engineers finally realized the battery would go completely dead after the first few thousand owners bought them. Seeing as how no one who buys these things is actually going to drive them. I’m look at all the old white guys…

Jags, how could it not be the Jags? They didn’t lose two QBs to freakish leg injuries. The Jags imploded in a mountain of Biblical levels of suck.  You don’t go from thrashing the Patriots to that joke of a Bills game a few weeks ago without monumental levels of suck.  It feels like this team needs to clean house and…

You would want to turbo this.  High RPM motors don’t have a lot of torque to begin with adding a supercharger would rob some of your already low, low end torque.  With an engine with this high of a redline, the effects of turbolag would probably be greatly reduced.  Think F1 here, high RPM turbo motors great for…

In a low RPM high torque motor yes, in a smaller displacement engine you want high RPMs.  Even with 12 cylinders 6.5L is relatively small, a 350 cubic inch v8 is 5.7L add 4 more cylinders and it would be a massive 8.6L~.

Yeah, that’s probably the point.  Let the electric motors deal with 0-60 the gas engine is barely getting spun up until then, then unleash the fury.

It also has a little more displacement 0.125L, that Ford 1.5 probably makes peak HP and torque at way lower RPMs.  High RPMs is great on a track where this will likely only ever see real driving and you can keep it wrung out, but yeah street usefulness it would just be loud and annoying.

No, Jesse Palmer is mostly remembered for claiming to make Florida fans forget about Danny Wuerffel, not only did he not do that, he got benched for Rex Grossman midway through the season. Jesse doesn’t even have anything close to Tim Tebow’s college highlight reel or even NFL reel. If you’re a Florida fan you are in…

I usually can’t stand Jesse Palmer, he wasn’t a good QB at Florida despite being way overconfident, ended up getting benched for Rex Grossman, and generally is an annoying talking head on most football shows. He also likes to wear suits that are too small for him, Jesse your not that buff its just an ill fitting…

Those appear to be temporary construction lights, so they probably wouldn’t bother swapping something like that out until they quit working.

Yeah, have you ever seen a pool with a yellow tinged light on it, it will do the same thing at the right angles and distance. These appear to be temporary construction lights so they probably are metal-halide, high pressure sodium, halogen, or something.

I usually go with my gut on stuff I know nothing about. My gut is telling me a non running registered French car that looks like it has been sitting for awhile is going to be somewhat difficult to get parts for. At near enough $9k I’m going to go CP.
The list usually goes like this.

It’s just too much money for too many miles. I would want some seriously detailed documenation on water pump replacement, hoses, belts, alternator, gaskets and seals, joints and boots, suspension, diff services, transmission services, power steering pump, thermostat, brakes (pads, rotors, cables, lines, fluid, master…

My Rigid doesn’t take up that much space. I could have found a spot for it in my laundry closet at my old apartment. A shop vac is essential for a house and if you don’t have one buy one. Do it now, I’ll wait.

Old Bay is great for seafood based things. I prefer Tony Chachere’s as my go to season all. If I’m not sure how I want to season something, just coat it Tony Chachere’s and cook it, gets the job done and really enhances the flavor of meat. People who just salt and pepper there steak, I’m like that’s okay, but the…

I swear they are completely different cars. ;)

For $7500 I would want something a little more show piece or original, the extra engine had better be included, and a complete matching interior already installed. This thing is a disaster of half done work and questionable choices with way too many miles and its lost originality to be a collectible. At this point…
