I saw both Top Gear's, they are a old episode, but I am glad that they are showing them on BBC America. I have been waiting to see if they are going to show the new mustang KR edition? There was also a rumor that they are going to bring the show here to America's shores. I hope so.

 

yeah if jay leno was one of the hosts it woudl be awesome. my tv guide said it was new and they had a R8 in the intro presentation. as for the KR mustang wasnt knight rider enough......lol, what a joke.

click on 'the collection' up top
then 'classics' to the left

It shows several of them

 

lemme guess... "Lee?" or, are you 1/4 china man as well?

i don't think the other guys got your joke, btw...

 

Happy Wednesday HUMP day!

 

Knight Rider was a joke. I wish that they could have done more to the series. I hope that they improve it. I love the car I just wish that it was not one long Ford commercial. Maybe we could make the car not so dang slow that a crossover was able to give chase. I mean after all that Mustang KR should have been able to beat the chase car hands down.

There was a article in Modified mag that I did not agree with. The editor was quoted as saying "Just because the RX-8 lacks potential in the horsepower department doesn't mean it can't be a fun corner carver." I think that the 8 is a great start. Better then any Honda out there.

 

well, the time has come boys and girls tomorrow @ 9am..... duh nunna nnnaaaahhhhh........ the evo is getting tuned im so freakin excited!!!!

 

i think they were reffering to the price vs. performance..... my evo cost what a rx8 costs.. so it lacks horspower compared to other cars in it class

 

So the Viper mobile will be fully tuned with all new parts installed? Anything else goin on it, or are you done for now?





Wanna compare sales sheets?

 

It was just a flat out statement. the 8 is only 25 thousand compared to the evo that commands 30 thousand price tag.

 

my evo was $26,999 (not including all the other crap they added.. but yeah) its the RS, but there was a GSR there for $28,999..... the rx8 i was looking at which was a plain jane one, was also, $28,999..... not trashiong the rx8, remember, thats what i went to the mitsu dealer to buy, but it sold, so i ended up getting an evo (thank god)

 

well, enginewise, im done for now..... but ill be getting cams, headstuds, cam gears, ignition, bigger turbo, and a meth kit hopefully by this time next year

but ill be building the suspension still (and tires)

 

what a sad day in the custom car business........ boyd coddington died today (wednesday).... R.I.P Boyd

That is sad.

 

vipers: your car is gonna be a MONSTER! grats man.

 

Looks like i will be making another trip up the coast (this time on stockers) any pic requests. Any one else going to be in the area.

 

Another question for you guys. I am going to pick these tires up for my car for my stock wheels. Should i get the stock size tire or should i go a little wider?

T minus 7 minutes till Vipers tuning.

Let us know how it goes

 

I went 245/40/18 all the way around.
Very little difference in mileage, but a lot more rubber on the road.


Now these Work wheels are on the other hand (245 front/275 rears). . . . . they RUINED my mileage.
Time for Ebay!!!

 

+1 for 245/40/18. My last two sets have been 245's and it's a GREAT fit for our wheels

 

loren: those Kumho tires are awesome.

 

why do you think they ruined your mileage...and what are we talking 10 miles on a tank? more/less.....?

I have heavy as 19's with a staggered setup and I can almost guarantee that my car gets more miles per tank than most 8's out there....what I mean to say is, there more to it than just tires, but they can make a slight different....."ruined" though...I would like to hear what happened.

I was even thinking about buying that set off you cause I have always liked those wheels...maybe sell my volks since it doesn't look like it will matter what wheels are on the RXZ88M when/if it sells.
