Is it just me or does Jim seem to know everything and come across as a jerk to everyone? Is it just because he has 20k+ posts? That must be the reason.

its just you; Jim is nice.

Ya well he's always a smart *** when he voices his opinions in my threads...but it doesn't bother me...its only the internet, doesn't affect me.

it bothered you enough to make a post about it.

Is it just me, or do you always have bad ideas?

They also have about as much pep as the traiblazer when we had it. Not as much but it wasnt a big deal. 103hp is enough when the car weighs 2500lbs (some one say as fast as most CRX's running around town with a fart pipe?). At least when comparing 250hp and 4500lbs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Yea doesn't the xb weight a lot less than my explorer? My x has 215hp, prally less at the wheels, and given that I wall either suv off, I think it will be proportional. Anyone know the load capacity on the xB's? Lol

The Xb probably has about 65-70 HP at the wheels. thas only about the power of 8 go carts.

Going from a V8 to a 4 Cyl. is going to kill you...especially if you put...

MT 15~75lbs X 8=300lbs

Box~350lbs

40.1s are 35 or so apiece (from my experience when I picked it up)-70lbs

batteries-200lbs

thats around ~900 lbs-give it 1000 for all of the other shit you will have in there.

so you are at 1k pounds. add 2 people and you have 400 lbs.

you are at 1400 pounds...in a car that has a curb weight of 2300lbs....

Think about it. After all is done, your car might go 70mph on the hwy.

yeah or ~80 with an auto... There are also supercharger kits you can affix to them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Explorer + 1400lbs = 5900lbs and say 180hp at the wheels. In either we are talking 30-40lbs/hp not fast by any means. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Both are about as areodynamic as a soap box...and weight has nothing to do with top speed on level ground. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
