I'd love to see Top Gear try to reach the top speed in this all new supercar.

Mosler MT900 GTR XX Twin Turbo Land Shark

TOP SPEED = 375 MPH+ WITH 118 OCTANE RACING FUEL, WITH IAD AERODYNAMIC MODIFICATIONS
LIMITED TO 305 MPH, WITH REAR WING ATTACHED, GASOLINE/METHANOL FUEL MIX
0-60 MPH = 2.5 SECONDS
0-150 MPH = 6.7 SECONDS
0-250 MPH = 17.5 SECONDS
1/4 MILE = 9.0 SECONDS
1/4 MILE SPEED = 178 MPH
ZERO TO 150 MPH AND BACK TO ZERO = 8.7
BRAKING: 250 MPH TO ZERO IN 8.5 SECONDS

The "Land Shark" weighs in at only 1898 lbs
powered by a 381 cubic inch engine V8 that delivers no less than 2500 HP!

So Jalopnik tested the new lincoln mkt, which is a ford edge but the new one has the ecoboost twin turbo v6... I cant F'ing wait for this engine. Here is what they said in the test drive for the mkt mind you its a large ass crossover, what if they put it in a fusion...
But what about the drive? What about that EcoBoost? We have good news to report. This thing is a rocketship. The MKT launches hard off the line and you're bumping up against the 120 MPH speed limiter before you can say "EcoBooooooooooost!" It's been a long wait to get behind the wheel of an EcoBoosted car and the MKT was a strange pick for first ride, but man, this engine is a gem. Zero turbo lag. None. Instant power at any RPM as the torque curve basically goes flat from 800 RPM all the way to 5500 RPM, this thing is a monster of a V6. In cruise control at 65 MPH we observed about 24 MPG, which is pretty standard V6 performance, but keep in mind this is producing a very V8-like 355 HP. It'll also run happily on 87 octane because of the direct injection. We do have one complaint to make to Ford though. Where did you put the turbo whine? You have two turbos so there should be twice as much of that zesty whistle, and yet there is none. So sad
**** im bored as **** today and no one on... well I got some new parts in, will install them tonight.

got the sti mod


OK so I have a 2008 ms3 with 35k miles on it. Powertrain warranty goes to 60k miles. Ill be there in a year or so at this current rate. I am looking at an extended PT warranty to 100k miles, but the dealer showed me 2 ( I dont think either were mazda) ext warranties but full coverage was 2100-2400. PT only with no loaner car was 1700. But I looked at mazda's website and they offer a ext PT warranty with loaner car...sooo anyway. what Im worried about is the ms3 engine blowing a rod or the turbo seals going out. so lets say its probably around 2k..do you guys think its worth it since I drive so much?

dev, how much would you get that w/ trade in? (or have you already gotten the vette)

house is good. it's been sucking money from me left and right... dropped near 2g for a fence that me and my old roomies (and some others) are putting in tomorrow. but thing's are coming along nicely

as for the s/c... i think i'm going to sell the parts as a kit. i've been thinking about it, i would have to pay money to get it tuned (either ryan or bryan) and probably drop more money into a clutch (and maybe flywheel). i don't have the free cash to do that anymore now that i've become fully invested with the house. on top of that... i got blindsided by one of my college loans and the montly payment has now doubled (my fault from something i deferred 2 years ago). so now i have to go searching for a reputable company that will buy out my college loans and consolidate them into one (with still having low interest rates and all the student loan perks). the extra cash from selling the s/c will give me a couching for that loan, and i'll also be able to zero out some smaller dept (small credit cards).

by doing this, hopefully in 6-9 months i'll be in a better situation to where as i can trade up to the ss/tc or what i've always wanted (and what maia wants too), solstice gxp.


sorry ryan.. i know it would have been cash comin your way.

but atleast you have a dead sexy tvs on your car and know that i would suck a **** to be able to drive that thing.

(figure of speech... put er down P)

$17? That'd be a hell of a deal. I bought my '08 in February for $19.

Couple TC's on carsoup:

1. http://myfox9.carsoup.com/used/detai...rtified=0&vc=1

NOTE: Same dealership I bought my TC from and I was actually trying to decide between this one and the one I had purchased. Car looked pretty clean, but the miles they are advertising on Carsoup are wrong. Back on February 14th, it had 2,100 miles on it. Who knows what it has on it now.

2. http://myfox9.carsoup.com/used/detai...=1&certified=0

Both cars around $19,000. I'm sure there are others too. This is just what carsoup had.

I got part throttle, and a little bit of WOT tuning done tonight.. No timing added yet, still need to re-install meth injection

This blower pulls harder than my 16psi and nitrous on the old blower. feels like it makes more torque quicker also (quite a bit more torque lol)
I'm also having an issue with belt slipping, boost jumps to 18psi and bounces around between 18-16psi, won't go higher, this pulley is supposed to see 20psi, might have to look into a bigger idler to hopefully make it stop..
Also I may add that my IAT2's never went above 105 degrees in boost, where my old blower IAT2 were 140ish.. but i also only ran 2nd gear out once never bothered with 3rd because second gears goes to almost 70mph and I really do not need another ticket. I will wait for the dyno to see actual temps in 3rd

Also I'm still on stock exhaust :O

haven't gotten the vette yet and no deal will gimme a price on my car cuz none of them have a vette for me to get so they won't take the time to look at it.

i just got a good size crack runnin across 1/4 of my windshield so i gotta replace that and keep tryin to sell it but i don't think the guy with the vette i'm lookin at has had any offers cuz he said he'd let me know.

i don't blame you sellin the s/c stuff, i think that sounds like a good move for you right now with the house and all and a solstice gxp would be pretty sweet. i'm supposed to drive one at a pontiac dealer i was goin to and lookin at the g8 gt and gxp
