Exactly, each to his own.

I bet if people were posting pictures of their wives you wouldn't slag them off repeatedly if you did not find them attractive.

You gotta admire the effort and time he has put in for something he obviously is proud of, no need to slate him for it.

Nah I would never slag a guy on his women.

He opened himself up as fair game with his attitude more then anything else I would think...

Still, I am freely willing to admit we all had lack of maturity issues going on in here... I bet he won't though!

Rice cars are like the music they listen to. Fashion for a year or two and thats it. Personally I can't stand the rice cars with cut suspension loud exhausts and some nasty 4 cylinder engine with a turbo. Though what really makes me laugh as that they always try and take on mine or my mates bikes.

American muscle cars are true classics and will always be around and lusted over for years to come. As they have one thing that all rice cars lack and that's something that can't be built.

Personally if I lived in the US I wouldn't go near a rice car when there are so many awsome american muscle cars to be had.

For me personally, my dream car after seeing one and lusting after it as a kid is a 69 Camaro SS

Ah the Shogun, arguably the best sleeper ever. MR Festiva with a 3.0L Yamaha SHO engine. I had a video of Leno doing some donuts in his. Best friend has a '94 SHO 5M he uses as his daily driver. He's thinking of getting an older B14 Sentra and building his own Shogun. He also found some interesting applications for the SHO engine. The used one in a Dune Buggy, it did the 1/4 in 10.xx or 11.xx I don't remember. Without the accessory drives it was revving to 10k and putting out 300hp on a 1000lb tube frame. All for the low cost of 14k and a SHO motor. ::drools::

It was a purpose built motor that Yamaha built for Ford. I'm not sure it had anything in common with the standard engines.

Interesting. I always assumed it was a tuned ford motor.

Kinda like the motor in the old syclone? From chevy the S10 truck that was all wheel drive was a 4.3 liter V6 with a big turbo.

I wrked with a guy who bought his brothers.

He had rebuilt the V6 for lower compression and installed a big turbo. He got kicked off a track in Sacramento for going under 11 seconds, lol he onlyhad the safety equipment for 12s, and the time slip was 10.5 .

I called bull**** on him when he was bragging thinking their was no way this truck was that fast e ven though he took me for a ride and it was SCARY fast like 100plus miles an hour in a block.

He scanned the time slip. Nutty.

This was back when Yamaha was running F1. I think Ford commissioned the engine for a 2-seat car that they never built. Yamaha engines are in quite a few cars being made right now. They are right up there with Honda in terms of getting the most output and revs from a small engine without hurting reliability or emissions.

It's been a long time but for some special engines Yamaha built only new cylheads and maybe pistons while manufacturers used old cyl-blocks of ordinary models.
