When i hear about Lingenfelter the 1st thing that pops into my mind is draging draging and....well...draging.
I remained speechless when i saw a movie with a corvette shotting like a bullet from a roll on race.

Also watch that X5 video while youre at it!

"When is enough too much." That's a brain twister for sure. I've heard things like "sometimes less is more." But, "enough being too much" is enough to be too much for my mind to fathom. I'll try to help the phrase stick though. I think that enough is too much on the street or strip when there is no way to use each gear effectively--ignoring top-speed-in-gear issues. Gotcha! Your turn at bat.

ipse d:

I'll help you save a little face. The 3/06 C&D has an article on the Maybach: "2007 Maybach: If It's true that more is better, then too much is just right." So, too much must be enough. But, still, does that mean enough, or just right, can be too much? I concede; I quess so; it must be a sign of the times.

Never take anything I say too seriously.

Half of what I say is otiose for the hoi polloi, and the other half is just nonsense for everyone.

You can never have too much horsepower, too much money or a wife that is too Hot!

As soon as you have the most somebody will come out with more.

I love the video where he smokes the guys so bad and calm at the same time....
I wish to have such a powerful car once so I can let all the young stubborn kids go ahead and then beat them like this
ok ok on the other hand I must admit it is not fair having twice as much HP's ... ok ok but just for fun
