  1. make sure you take the benjamins for paying for gas.

    Bi-Turbo V6

    Z, it's the HP formula that will make the HP more than torque above ~5200. hence why diesels with redlines under 5K (all of them?) will have higher torque numbers than hp.
  3. very cool Camino.
  4. thats' pretty good.
  5. what could you do with a lite turbo set-up? with high static compression and lowish boost?
  6. except, glo.fo. is building fab..6? somehwere up there. i think it's supposed to be running late next year, and still expand after that. that's one big area to watch.
  7. i'd say it goes to Stang in politics... hahah!
  8. lol.. wow
  9. awesome... wonder what kinda power specs it'll have. yay competition!
  10. to bad GM is ending this model... with better gaps like the new bu, the DI engine, a 6speed, maybe a "lite update" ... seems like it could make a great business case. oh well. maybe make the 1.4L turbo the base? so long good idea.
  11. try your damnedest to elect people with integrity, and don't stop there...
  12. who would it be a disaster for? the people that don't know why/how interest rates are figured(bankers/loaners), or the people that take those loans from people that don't know how to figure those things? ...something that this mortgage fiacso basically started from, sub prime... people that couldn't make the payments. disaster is one word for it, but "back to reality" is better... tons of debt no one can pay for on the shoulders of those that made those loans. i'm sure people that get burnt on banking things look more closely at "who" they are working with, but many people don't spend anytime doing that. shouldn't that be more important than lots of other things, yet cause of FDIC many people know it's supposed to be safer there than anywhere else...
  13. but he should have told his parents generation of it too, WW1 just gave us precedent to get into WW2, other than the pacific theater. our "back room deals", excluding the punished (germany), really just set the stage for them to elect the radicals to power...hitler and such.
  14. so, isn't controlling interest rates a form of social/economic engineering/intervention, aka socialism? if you take away the "enabler" as you call it, would the congress control interest rates or would you move it back to a free-market force?
  15. that sounds right... it was 2 mustangs with about a 1/2 wing between them
  16. the Messerschmidt "rock crusher"... fuel injected and auto altitude adjusted fuel/air mixture if you mean only a US built one... mustang, or the "dual" mustang
  17. just by the title. the deflation is over, welcome to the norm, increasing prices without increasing wages. stagflation...something the fed was supposed to hold at bay, but has encouraged all along...but it's going to get worse.
  18. just ~1 month till the 6900's (non x2's) just 2 months for the "x2" "6990" it's kinda interesting that AMD isn't making these crossfire x3 or x4 capable.. oh well. 10.10 driver should be out any day... i wonder if they are actually gonna make a full line out of it? seems silly to do a "600" in the series, but i think might be useful to redesign the bargain chip. just depends on how well/fast llano, ontario, (the atom killer) comes out and the performance of them.
  19. with bulldozer coming out hopefully q1'11 this combo would be very awesome....but then the"7xxx"'s will supposedly be out in q4'11...28nm tech. yes, it's a is it what i want when i can buy it. oh well. my x4 and 4770 can last me certainly till then. haha
  20. yep... http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/20547-radeon-hd-6870-has-151w-tdp it's going to be faster the the 5850, but slower than the 70... idle lower, and same TDP it's the 69xx's that are going to really take the crown from the 480. and then it's almost confirmed by how much talk there is about a 580, that nvidia is just waiting for.
  21. olds are you trying to link our fiscal policy to our monetary policy?
  22. inflation, yeah, maybe for 09, but this year it's been more like 6%? (not from the politicized #) and S.S. isn't raising rates next year either, oh man our retired living paycheck to paycheck are screwed. hourly wage is way down (using the green line) and the median income is maybe 10K higher.... the students were very close for '09.. compared to the ~250%.
  23. loki

    Double B-days

    happy birthday guys!
  24. no, it's always been pro / xt... they are just behind the xx50 and xx70 reasons real specs are expected on the 15, tomorrow... but it might actually be next week...idk
