Anyone besides me find the Barrett-Jackson

[Old808]

I just need to sell all the bikes,...

Which bikes would those be?

[Old808]

That' a pretty darn good deal for a real supercar that has history too.

The new GT?  What history?

[cornercamping]

Ford GT is a piece of crap.  I"d take a Bentlly, Lambo, Ferrari, RS6, SL65, E55, and a ton of other cars over that turd.  In a synopsis......

IT'S A FORD !

You can spray cologne on a turd, shine it all up, but when it comes down to it...  IT'S STILL A TURD.

Ford wants to impress me, do something about that new POS Mustang GT and Cobra.  What generation Mustang is this now?  STILL only 300 HP.  Yeah, a real muscle car.  My Jeep has more HP and Torque than the "American Muscle Car."  American muscle car my ass...  ::)  

Jeep: 330 HP/ 375 Tq.
Mustang GT: 300 HP/ 320 Tq.

That's pretty sorry...   No wonder Ford is going down the toilet.   Ontop of that, most of the new "performance" Jap cars will stomp a mudhole in the mustangs ass for the same price, or less, and actually have better reliability and warranty  ::)   Damn Dodge Neon's are making 230 HP and 250 ft. lbs. of torque and it's half the displacement of the Mustang...

Which bikes would those be?

Mille, and Ducati and soon a Tuono if I can get the $ deal down with the seller.

Hey Papa, have you ever seen the pics of my bikes ?  The one's I sold?

GT40  :-/

I'll repeat:  1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Scaglietti Spyder  

Now that car was an awesome example of engineering at it's finest.  

Not sure I'd call a car with a live rear axle an example of engineering at it's finest. :D

Yeah, but how many were made, and look at the performance for that time...,,    

How much did that car go for new  ???

I won't give you my pedigree, Dan.  It would just depress you.  But Alexa was right.

I've done quite a lot with very little.  There were no excuses.  "I need to eat," or "I need to sleep, " would have been unacceptable excuses in my heyday.  Been there, done that, went back, did it all again.  Now I coach a lot, race a little.

Dan, if I had your purported income, I'd be sporting the #1 plate on my bike for sure.  I'd have 2 each of SV650s, GSXR600s and GSXR1000s.  An A bike and a B bike for every class CCS runs.  Then I'd enter every race, always with fresh rubber and VP fuel.

You, on the other hand, just talktalktalktalktalktalk.

[cornercamping]

I think we should pit together Chris.  ;D   Let's see how much of Dan you can take in one season, and then we'll see what you say about how much time I'm at the race track...   ;D ;D ;D

Deal  ???

[cornercamping]

Chris, have you ever ridden a Duacti 749/999 or an Aprilia Mille ?

[cornercamping]

I even pushed a customers project way forward so we could get it done before track season start  :D  We moved a project that was supposed to start in May, to November of last year so we could have it done by the end of Feb. and we're ahead of schedule  :D

LOL...

You'll never drive one...

Motor trend put it this way...

"Ford proves it can build a Ferrari beater - again."

Not sure where the Mustang fits in this guys...

Axles?  All about cost.  HP?  Still comes back to weight.  If it were just about HP, then it would be over.  Not sure what the point is...

I think they will sell cars, Ford, Jeep, and Ferrari.

GT history...it looks like a GT40.  The new Mr Ford recognized that Ford used to be a world class car manufacturer.  There have been some dark days.  The current GT relives a lot of what was.  Back to the Motortrend statement above.  The GT isn't a Corvette or a Viper.  It's above that kind of car.  And Mustangs are mass produced cars for normal people.  Hey, for less than $30k, you can have a Mustang GT.  That's $14k less than a Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD.  


Cherokee's aren't don't have any size or girth of the original Cherokee's.  Yeah, there's reason's for that, too.  But...


As for track time...  

Not sure what you're trying to say here.

You can track ride all day long.  Neat accomplishments.  Kind of like internet porn though;  "a bit cold and insensivie", as Malcom McDowell said on A Clockwork Orange.

Don't really have winners, loosers, or champions there.

Nor are there the highs, lows, and crushing defeats...Reality is that if you're gonna really go after a championship or try to make that race, there are sacrifices above regular life.  

K3...cue the dangling rod story...

Race weekends in one region?  Really depends.  Ten to fourteen weekends.  That's 20 to 28 days.  But that's under duress and abuse.  Times do matter.  Sometimes, you actually go and do a practice day.  

Again, I'm not sure what your point is...
