if i have to eat my words I will but I say hes full of ****. i doubt he even has cam work done and if he does it was the old intake cams. and cam gears....come on where did he get these. these cars are not convenient to mod and anyone that would spend the time and the effort to do such a task wouldnt make up numbers 390...oops 290whp ....cams and head port and polish arent going to give him 130whp

I went to the site and didn't see anywhere to vote for it to be in bull run only the poll asking what you should do to it next. By the way what kind of kit is on that other svx...or is it the same one? I think it looks super hot, but I hope you weren't planning on "dropping" the SVX. AWD cars are not lowriders! Anyway that svx body kit looks sick, but whatever that blue acura is supposed to be its pretty fugly and I would sell it to a rice farmer if I were you...just my .2 cents

Just to explain the hose power doughts you keep getting. People are having trouble because there are a few members herethat are building there cars as well, and the best posted dyno numbers we have seen to date is 245 with 11 pounds boost from a supercharger. I can easily believe 290 with the engine modds and a mid-level shot of nitrous though. I'm not saying it isnt possible, it is just a sudden shock to see these numbers out of the blue, when several members have been doing long projects and passing info along during there progress and not gotten there. Can you understand our hesitation to believe it?

I, also, did not see anything about voting for bull run. I have however been watching the TV show. I think the idea is cool, but I would never enter my SVX. My $1000 Chysler Conquest when I have it finished up, heck ya. Only the first vehicle illeminated from the show was do to losing. The last one I saw was the BMW, do to a death in the family. All the others were do to damage. I believe every vehicle there has suffered some type of damage at this point.

lol, like the F-150 plowing through a cinderblock wall in the last episode.

His grill was mysteriously repaired though. My bet is to keep the Ford badge visible.

I watched that last weekend and it was just making me sick. Some young individuals killing their cars. Like the BMW M3….and the Lamborghini and the Lotus. I was impressed of how well the Ford 150 had done. It’s not just the car but peoples attitude the hurts them when there are competing. I am anxious to see who wins.

If an SVX is doing it….well I would watch just don’t hurt the car, please.

I was not surprised at all when the Lambo guy fried his clutch. Those guys on that show are morons, save for maybe the Firebird and Honda guys.

Man, if you can enter this show, I think you stand a very good chance of winning if you at least treat the car well, power or not.

I wasn't surprised at all. A bunch of youngens driving expensive cars courtesy of "Daddy"...they can't drive and could care less about the car because "Daddy will buy me another one!" And I know Ford has a bad rep, but hey..I have owned MANY many Fords in my life and NOTHING is more reliable. Hell I have a truck here at work ...an F350 And the tranny has been slipping and shifted EXTREMLY hard for well over a year, but she starts and runs everyday....they just don't quit. I had a 98 Escort with 300,000miles onit and it was in mint condition. The only thing I ever replaced was the battery and alternator.

My parents have had 4 escorts and total over all of them they have put over 1,100,000 miles on them. They are not highway miles either, but rather a paper route (which kills cars). All they took was routine maintenance: belts, alternators, a couple of hoses here and there, but that was it. My dad just got rid of our last escort and bought a 2007 focus.

Back on topic though..... Dyno sheets?????

If you're serious about doing bull run, you better watch the successful audition tapes, namely the first lotus one here. http://www.youtube.com/results.php?s...bull+run+video

Keep in mind that they're looking for lively personalities that won't cause problems yet won't sit still like a drone without any drama that makes the show work.

You can get on as the underdog with the cool car...just give them interest and reasons to pick you and your friend.

If it was me I would do something extreme-say temporarily dress in drag during filming, because I know the tv production company can appreciate good acting.

Just some ideas...I'll vote for you...just come prepared.
