I helped build an Escalade for a customer that made over 600 to the tire.

It’s unsettling having something that big, move that quickly.

If you’re paying $150k for this, even a few grand in fees isn’t going to make you blink. Financial barriers only for poor people. Just like crimes that only come with a fine, it’s…

WTFuji?

There’s another company that does the conversion, the whole car fits in a jig and they cut it and the ute portions in a specific spot, move the jigs together and start the pain-staking reassembly. This the classic cut and shut move tho.

“It’s not the size of the boat that matters, it’s the motion of the ocean.”

And here I am thinking of this the moment I started reading through this comment thread lol.

Jeeze, what could possibly work more to their advantage than not using a vantage?

Oh yeah!

“Verstappen can’t race today as he is still stuck in the United States after American canceled his flight for the third time.”

That’s a steal considering how much trucks are going for right now.  Even if that 5.7 gives up the ghost before its next oil change, you can snag a new mill still (with fresh castings) from GM on the cheap.

Is their Department of Nameology researcher related to Rich Energy’s logo designer?

The motor from Webasto on the previous Magneto had a “redline” of 6000rpm, very different from the Tesla units that do almost 3 times that.

The way it’s been explained to me, there’s a sweet spot of efficiency for each motor which if previous motors I’ve seen with that powerband it would be around 4,000 rpm.  It’s…

You’d figure the cost to upgrade to those chargers would be comp’d by the manufacturer as well.

I’d have to see what we’re at but we run CNC machines and other stuff since we have a warehouse and engine shop on site.

I do wonder how often we’re going to need to change/upgrade these chargers as the EV onslaught…

I wish I was free to have man dates as well, but damn I never get enough spare time.

I definitely can’t swing 20k for anything right now, congrats on the sale of Radwood though. My business partner and I sold a venture a few years back (Mexico Racing League) and it helped pay off some debt I had.

Part of me would love to snag a sport bike in non-running condition and do an EV conversion (just to learn…

Unless you’re Kimi, then no you do not get the drink.

That C2 was full on B.D.E.

*Oil Filter has left the chat*

That thing went in like a damn lawn dart.

The C2 Corvette. It solidified itself in motorsport history even if GM tried its damnedest to not be directly involved. Sure, Zora shoehorned a V8 into the C1, but the C2 took that torch like a toddler on Redbull and ran through a fireworks warehouse. It also gave us the namesake of the Z06 and Grand Sport, something…

I still want to get a Corvair wagon.  I’ve lusted after those ever since I first saw one haha.

IIRC, condensation in the window like this usually means the seal on the double glazed window has gone bad. Hopefully that was a “fresh out of the wash” shot. If not. Break out another thousand. It would probably be a good idea to redo all four vapor barriers on the car anyway.
