yea, hey rob, we should move to Alaska. They can make a hell of a lot of horsepower there for free! There engines dont get hot? Must not be internal combustion. Some new thing maybe? It most not move because movement causes friction and friction causes heat.

the thing with alaska right now is that its extremely dry. we dont even have frost on the ground yet. in past years it has snowed by this point but we are experiencing record highs and lows meteorogically speaking.
but i also have some mods that increase my speed contrary to peoples belief.

Thats right. Never under estimate the placebo effect. Hell when i took the studded tires off my jeep last year there was a major difference in the vehicles take off. Probably cause of the extra rotating mass from the studs i was no longer spinnin . Yep thata what i kept tellin myself.

uhh.. studs really hurt your traction on solid ground.
im not sure if your kidding or what here but the contact of the metal to pavement is no good.

my friends beretta gt (stg 1 clutch) burns rubber like crazy, but i bet when he takes those studs off hell get better take off.

yeah i could see the confusion between the Carrera GT and a Boxster.

i raced a Ferrari Enzo the other day, but now that i think about it, maybe it was a Fiero. same difference i guess.

Alan,
thats freakin hilarious! Ha ha! Finally others are starting to see this BS. AWD SVX running a 14.9? Blah! FWD is close to 600 lbs lighter and my cant even run that. I have a KN drop in filter and Lighter rims. Considering NikFu has an AWD with a system in it. He is probably 700 lbs. heavier that me. You must be making some serious horsepower to make up for that difference man.

This BS? No. Correction. NikFu's BS. He claims that using octane booster on premium gives him better gas mileage. He is wrong. I provided the reasoning as to why this is impossible, and he does not believe me. He claims that there is no doubt in his mind that subaru could have made a 500hp NA SVX engine. He is wrong. I provided the reasoning as to why this is next to impossible, and he does not believe me. He claims his SVX runs 14s, and that he almost beat an SRT4, and that his engine doesn't ever get warm externally in those cold alaskan winters.

Let's all face the music: This NikFu guy is FULL of BS. He lies, makes stuff up, doesn't understand reasoning and logic, and cannot comprehend proven theories. Here's to hoping he gets banned, so we have less BS on this forum.
