Wow. Back to the Future part II here we come... Would that not be Back to the Future Part IV? I don't think so. The flying cars where in BTTF II (and also at the end of part I too, I suppose). We're not there yet with flying cars, which is why I referred to part II.

of course great numbers, but I actually "drive" a vehicle, not "aim" it. If don't have an actual clutch pedal, am not interested. My old '05 Ranger (modifyed engine, no supercharger), can still do 0-60 in just a tad over 6secs. Plenty quick enuf once leave city limits. Reall "OLDE" school! heh heh Ed changes the damn gears, not a machine My old Hemi Roadrunner would do 0-60 in 3.1 and 132 in a quarter mile. I didnt have the reaction for that speed even back then. Ron, I gather that had been worked on a little. That is definitely faster than stock. Sweet cars, those old Roadrunners. Spent a lot of time in a friendโs in HS. His was a 383.

It was blueprinted and balanced, Crane Cam, lifters and springs, Hooker headers and the 2 AFB carbs were tuned by a NASCAR mechanic. 625 HP at the rear wheels on the dyno. 4200 RPM torque converter and 489 gears. 10.5 x31 Firestone wrinkle wall slicks. Back seat removed and battery relocated to the trunk. That's all. ๐

It also had Hemi guts in the transmission, manual shift and a reversed shift pattern. ๐

I wouldn't count Elon Musk out on anything...especially in comparison to his high tech counterparts. Jeff Beazos, Jeff Suckaturd...had great ideas and capitalized on them, but I think Elon is infinitely smarter than either of them guys. Suckaturd? Ah come on, if I had that last name I sure as hell wouldn't let anyone know it. Suck a Turd! If you were funning around I get it but, not keeping up with modern events is my hobby, don't care, don't want any, kinda attitude, so I don't really know if you were Charlie.

Charlie is off the forum right now. He changed his email and he can't get anyone to help him get back in.

You would think. I just noticed when I try to edit my personal info it thinks I want to change my dadburn email address and I have to reactivate my account. Somethings wrong, maybe that's what got Charlie. Heck, now I'm a Junior Member?

Welcome to the Patch from NE Texas, Junior! ๐ It also shows that Charlie hasn't been on since February of 23. Sigh.

Andre was the last one around, and he's been dealing with family health issues for the better part of a year now and hasn't been around either.

Charlie is stuck because of the email update I have reached out to Sparks.
