Dec 26, 2008 - Well you just changed the subject there.I'm not talking about putting a 632 motor in a Corvette.I'm done talking with you. Good bye.
mr2ya Says:
Dec 26, 2008 - Changed the subject?your talking about push rods dominance right?well it aint dominant in the TX mile on a street car.Big block in sports car = lamest idea ever.push rod = granddads engine.2jz with one turbo no nos, = 241mph in only one mile with a gear left to go, yeah that was in 5th gear.Their are plenty 2j's whooping the shit out of push rod V8's.and who reallly changed the subject?not me.
mr2ya Says:
Dec 26, 2008 - LOL, you changed the subject not me.pushrod dinosaur = granddads engine
acetheheretic Says:
Dec 26, 2008 - No I didn't. If even 2JZ is faster, everyone will now who the man at the end of the day is. Seriously, I'm done arguing with you. Any car can be made fast. I guarantee you, the 2JZ isn't the fastest thing ever.BYE!
mr2ya Says:
Dec 26, 2008 - LOL! then why did none of those show up at the TX mile this year.And yes their is always a faster car.But vettes and push rods are the lamest most boring thing about motorsports.LOL! dont throw rocks if you dont want hit by one. Cant think for yourself, not innovative, cant formulate a plan without millions of others having done it before you, THEN BUY A PUSH-ROD V8, the blueprints been there for decades, how could you screw it up? LMAO!

Dec 28, 2008 - The Sledgehammer is a collectors car now, but it will give any car in the world a run for it's money....including the overpriced veyron. I have spoken.

highfencejumper Says:
Dec 29, 2008 - That will run cirlces around your crap mr2
mr2ya Says:
Dec 29, 2008 - You have NO IDEA what you're talking about do you?People collect stamps, comic books, and DeLorean's. none of these are cool, so whats your point?And this POS couldn't take a corner faster than 30mph, so in other words, you and this stupid ass redneck rocket can kiss my ass.

Dec 30, 2008 - Saleen S7 = pushrod V8ford GT = pushrod V8both have more than that in common... they both shit on mr2's!!!

Jan 2, 2009 - corvettes do turn despite common belief and maybe if you would get out of your shitty mr2 and drive one you would know.
mr2ya Says:
Jan 2, 2009 - WOW!....NO my brother, no thanks. i've seen the light, and the motor aint in the front.Shitty mr2?! thats funny. you should be a comic. And to the other dumbass, RUSH is one of the greatest bands of all time.
mr2ya Says:
Jan 2, 2009 - HEY, COMPLETE DUMBASS!,MAybe you should check out those engines again, and yes i like those cars and the engines, (BUT GUESS WHAT?) not a pushrod insight.Maybe you should learn more before talking shit, then being such a complete dumbass as to bring up OHC engines thinking their pushrods, LOL, MORON. BTW, when did i say mr2's were king ding, i didn't, but it would own anything you've ever driven or even looked at.
mr2ya Says:
Jan 2, 2009 - So are stamps, and comic books.Whats your point?That doesn't make it cool.
dongster1 Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - lol ur angry. MR2's aren't really that special, so I'm not sure what you're so angry about, and I'm not reading through all the comments. but from all the capslock/ swearing, I'm assuming that you're wrong...
mr2ya Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - Nah, im almost always right.The guy said Ford GT's and Saleen S7's had push rod engines, i know GT's are DOHC, but i think S7's might be ohv's But who cares?His comment was further left field than my first comment was.Corvettes suck either way.
mark4tk Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - pretty good , they did this 19 years ago
mark4tk Says:
Jan 4, 2009 - mister too ?is that a mid engined tercel ?a mister too could not go over two hundred mph if you shot it out of a cannon

mr2ya Says:
Jan 5, 2009 - And where is your car?3sgte has gone over 200mph.And never said my car in specific could go over 200, but given just a mile and a supra can go 241mph.Corvettes still suck either way.
