Muzak & cars

[Maacoshark]

   Apparently you are interested in a friendly conversation.
 Is anyone else here interested in sharing their preferences in vehicles. Or maybe even posting pics of your own vehicles. DC posted some pics on the other site. Maybe he can post them again. I posted one of my cars on the old site too.

   You are obviously a car guy. Just curious what cars you like. And what kind of car do you drive?
  I know DC likes his cars too. He has posted pics of his cars.

When you get down here I'll have you take em out for a spin, . . .

The 2017 MKZ is a sleeper, but at 400hp, 400 torque and AWD . . .it embarrasses most cars on the road, it will certainly fuck up an 8th mile, but they are hitting 13 in the quarter (if I can't find a a way around the warranty,  I may say fuck it and put bigger turbos on it)


I will ask you for input on the Stang though, its a 2012 5.0 convertible with 50kmi and has a Ford engineers custom tune, K&N, and a Cobra exhaust, so probably 15-25hp over stock (I haven't pot it on a dyno but I’m guessing 440ish). . . it's mean, but not as evil as I want it.

I wanna put a supercharger etc to get it well over 500, but I've heard "the chassis on a concevertable won't much more hp” (even though Cobras that year we’re about 550) and have also heard "don't worry, you'll be fine up 600hp"?   

What do you think? Should I risk it?

And Alta, get up here so we can take em for a ride!

   Maybe you can risk it over there. Not worth it here. I got too many points against my license for speeding tickets. I'm getting better though, only 2 tickets this year.
   Last time I was at the Chrysler dealer I almost drove away with a Hellcat. And the wife was going to let me buy it. I had to talk myself out of it.
    I have lost interest in horsepower because of all the speeding tickets.

AWESOME


The last speeding ticket I got was 88 in a 55 on I66. . . Which would have been at least a misdemeanor on my record, but Lady referred me to a kick ass lawyer they got it knocked down to “improper operation” which is a $500 fine, and $500 for the lawyer.  That’s about as scot-free as you can get.

Hell Jason Werth of The Nats spent a few days in jail for speeding on I66. . .

Still got the Hellcat?

A custom tune should get you more than 25 on the 5.0. There is conflicting info out there as to whether or not the dealer knows you had a tune on a car, assuming you put it back to stock before it went in. I know occasionally Ford corporate will get involved in a warranty and they do have the equipment to tell if a car had a tune on it. Lots of 6.0 diesels burned the pistons with an aggressive tune and Ford caught on real quick. Personally, unless you are planning on something stupid like 800hp I wouldn't hesitate to put tunes on the Lincoln. It will also let you change shift points and stiffness. If you really want to make big hp in the 5.0, you need cams and forced induction which then require their own custom tune. 

I haven't paid attention to the newer generation mustangs, but there are some convertibles that have a stiffer chassis than the hard top from the factory. Either way that car should be fine with another 100-150 hp on the street as is. If it was going to be raced regularly it should have sub frame and chassis stiffeners, but it's not needed on a street cruiser, even with an occasional drag run. Your weak point is traction anyway. That's why AWD is becoming standard on the European super cars.

But, as I learned a long time ago, if you really want to go fast for cheap you need a bike. I haven't ridden mine since my accident but every single time I rode it I hit triple didgits. It gets there with no effort and back down to the speed limit before most people could think about it.

That is a HELL of a good idea, I have a K&N already, but stock intake, so this will be an easy boost
 
This here som’bitch looks mean, looks like about 20hp/26tq, for about $400 from K&N







Heh gonna need to keep the Stang registered in VA though 😁

sup homey ....

more badassery from the same guy that played the shovel,
 awesome collection behind him, usually when people play like this they use a slide, but no slide here ..

The Chairman singing one of the greatest songs about America ever at The White House with The US Marine Band, and thr intro from Nixon   

[DC_1908]

Rock N Roll Royalty, the only other person Ronnie Van Zant let sing on a Skynard song (Whino), and was in Skynards first recordings @ Muscle Shoales, all while doing his own band Blackfoot.


He’s been a full time and lead  member of Skynard sine they reformed, and has assembled and groomed some BAD ASS guitar playing musicians  to keep Blackfoot going, while over seeing and joining them here and there.  Rickey is one of the best American musicians ever

My dinner was the glass with whisky on the rocks, the rest of it is the dogs dinner. She had a bad reflux problem when I brought her home, would randomly burp up whatever wasn't digested yet. Got old after a month of it, haven't had any problems since I moved her to what's in the picture

     She is a cute dog. Looks like you spoil her. That's OK they deserve to be spoiled. We spoil our dog too.
