Desertguy49:

I like the 396, my nephew is building a 70 Nova for the strip with
one running around 475HP


Mine had hydraulic lifters when I bought it, but they were sluggish, so I replaced them with solid lifters and replaced the stock camshaft with a quarter-grind at the same time.

But by the time I did all that I had already decided to sell it and get something more functional for my needs.

lilmamma71: Thank you I lost one that was hit by a car and my cousin and his wife had a daughter that was killed instantly by a crazy teenaged driver hitting the back of their car, sending her body hurling through the front windshield, she never stood a chance.

Sorry, but I've got no sympathy for speed demons and think when caught, the punishment should be intense, severe and harsh.


I feel that way myself. Its incredibly reckless and a downright selfish self centred thing to be doing.

I'm so sorry about your friends :( I lost friends too because of speed, stupidity and alcohol hug

gussi: Well according to EU law, as he was driving a vehicle with illegal mods, he didnt have mot or insurance. so maybe the licence is now in severe danger.


Hi Gussi..long time no see my friend wave

Its Ireland we are tallking about here...that eejit will get away with it until he kills himself ..hopefully he wont if he sees sense..then again..the original post can/could be considered inflammatory/ controversial just for the sake of it to get a reaction dunno

I do apologize to him for that.


That's ok, we all hope so. I was just agreeing with you. He says he is not afraid to die but he may not be the only one dying in an accident he causes with his speeding, so he can kill himself if he wants to, but he shouldn't kill innocent people who have not chosen to die that way, especially in a horrendous accident

Nothing wrong with discussing cars, they're one of my hobbies, but it's all in the way you go about it right...I did some stupid things when I was a kid, but never at the risk of endangering others, I totally advocate safe driving on the public roads, as that is where I earn my living.thumbs up

That is the key right there Desert...I agree, nothing wrong in the least, but when it becomes soley about "me, myself & I" , that's when it's just a brag topic.

Your car would not have passed the NCT, it would have been impounded..thenagain, it comes back to thte old issue..it happened in Irelandlaugh
If you were in the North you car would not have left the NCT Centre unless there was a copper driving it to there garage to have it resprayed and use to catch eejits like you who drive at such speeds...a wee tip for you...seeing that you claim to be able to handle a car as such speed..take an advanced drivers course and get a job as a professional driver ..make use of the talent you have instead of wasting it

Luxembourggirl: Thanks for your info, but for the nth time on this site, I am not from Luxembourg. However as previously mentioned, you have a conspiracy theory about everything on this planet and an awful lot off it also. It becomes a mite wearying at times.


That's because, just about everything government does is tied into the one over-riding conspiracy of setting up the New World Order.

They've been working on that slowly but steadily for several centuries now, but things started accelerating when Papa Bush announced the NWO. And then 911 was like their "last lap" flag and set off an all-out scramble for the finish line.

Scoff all you want now.
But you'll see.

They seem to be promoting that Z012 BS for a reason.
That's their make or break election year in the US and Obama doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning again (as planned).

So either they would have to find another patsy like him and create a similar "change" mandate around him, or, they will have to use Obama by promoting him to dictator status. (their plan from the beginning).

The NWO cannot take over peacefully by democratic means. Nobody in their right mind would vote for it.

It will have to be scammed into place just like the Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Act, The Military Commissions Act, and the Presidential Directive that will allow Obama to declare an emergency and seize total control.

If it doesn't happen I'll eat my hat, and my words.

In the meantime, we can have fun disputing.

Your insurance is completely invalid, (if you have any at all, which I doubt), because the car has been modified.

You would also have had to provide a clean licence to get inurance at that price, (at any price if you have a criminal record), a licence which you haven't got, having had previous convictions. Previous convictions = penalty points. Repeated offenses = suspended licence.

The reason I know that, is because you paid the maximum penalty, which you only get after a few visits to court for the same offence. Repeated offenses = serial offender.

Serial offender = no clean liscence = invalid insurance = criminal offense every time you get in that car, or any other, to drive...........

All this points to someone with no moral character, who has no concience, is very selfish, and a totally idiotic sociopath........

Yep! That's certainly something to brag about! NOT!!!!!!!!thumbs down

Ray, can you just do us all a favor and write a book about it all , that way we don't have to continually read the crap over the forums? You invade other peoples threads with your theories, so it's not like we can even see them coming alot of times.

Don't get me wrong, they do make me giggle every now & then,but for the most part, and I'm sure I speak for many others, they are annoying...again, especially when you invade other peoples topics with them.

At least if you read a book, the wackos that buy into this stuff can buy the book and the rest of us are not subjected to it.

I don't know. Courts do funny things.

I knew a guy who was an alcoholic and had a long string of DWI convictions. By law he should have lost his license forever. But somehow he got it back time after time. And his fines were less than what the law mandated too. I think judges have a lot of discretion as to what they can or must do in such situations.
