    Greetings!

    Welcome to the forums, Steve! Congratsa on buying the MM - you'll love it more every time you drive it. I just got back from a 2800 mile trip from Houston to Ft. Lauderdale and back, and after all those hours in the car, I couldn't wait to get in her and go to work Monday! PS, try the...

    Have you seen this?

    Both the jibjab.com and atomfilms.com sites were overloaded earlier when I tried to show my wife, but they were back up about 2 hours later. Worth the wait...I'm going to watch it again now.

    5.4 L engine

    All I know is I'm busting my gonads to pay for what eventually will be a Cobra engine with the 5.0L VT stroker kit, balanced, crank polished/knife-edged, and then cap it with a nice Trilogy S/C. Intake work here, exhaust there, driveline strengthening everywhere, and I'll have the best of both...

    What You Won't Hear from the Media

    Amen, and everyone thank God every chance you get for the bravest men & women in the world fighting for our freedoms many of us take for granted. Like the freedom to print stories the government doesn't like or approve of. CNN should have tried that in Communist Russia, or just about any other...

    Have you seen this?

    Hey guys - back from some emergency R&R in Florida...Billy, I saw MSNBC playing part of it this morning, and when I went to the website and saw the whole thing, I laughed for a good 5 minutes - funny stuff! (..and it's true that I KICK ASS...)

    NOTHING is better than TURBO!

    LMAO - I like W., and will probably vote for him again in November. But there have been a few things I wish would have been done differently. But the saddest thing of all is I haven't seen anyone come out and say "Here's what's wrong and what I'll do to fix it." Both sides (well, three if you...

    Congrats Mike - 12's should be easily repeatable in even hotter wx with the new setup! Good job!

    Ricers Gone Wild....

    LOL and right on, Billy. The sad thing is it doesn't seem to be limited to the youngest among us - i saw a guy driving a Honda Qualude complete with neon, taped-on body kit, ugly 'flip' paint, a set of 747 wings on the back, and what literally had to be an 8" - 10" exhaust tip, making huge...

    Ricers Gone Wild....

    Todd - you've really done it. You've managed to make me laugh so hard I had another back spasm. Now I'll have to watch it again when the pain medication kicks in.

    Preaching to the Choir

    Welcome aboard Roger! Glad you went with the MM - I guess I don't have to ask if you feel like it was the right choice. I wasn't fortunate (or foresightful) enough to order mine with the Trilogy system installed already, but that's the way to go. Enjoy your car and hang out with us often...

    NOTHING is better than TURBO!

    Todd, good post. Jose and SixAppeal, thanks for the info. James, LMAO. Krytin, good point (you know, you're OK for a John Kerry kind of guy :D ). Guys, I think so far we've managed to have a civil post!

    Dumb newbie question

    Yeah, the drop is way too hard on the trans - the manual shift sounds like the way to go. Although mine doesn't chirp on the one-two upshift - just need more break-in, or is this a sign I'm getting fat?

    NOTHING is better than TURBO!

    To be honest James, as hard as I try I can't understand what import guys think most of the time. But in this case, I would say that on a 1.6 or 1.8L 4 cylinder, you can't afford to give up any of your power to turn a supercharger, so a turbo, even those crappy kits they sell, are still worlds...

    NOTHING is better than TURBO!

    That actually would be an ideal solution on the surface. I wonder if anyone has experimented with something like that? I have often thought of using an electronically controlled clutch on a centrifugal supercharger to activate the system with the push of a button (ideally with an adjustable...

    NOTHING is better than TURBO!

    Point well taken, it's true that turbo systems can be designed to achieve their max boost at lower rpms (turbodiesels, off-road trucks with systems designed for low-rpm power, etc.). Either type of system can be designed properly by a knowledgeable engineer to work their magic in different...
