Very well. I believe that I have exhausted all info and advice that I can get here. I will go about this project on my own from here on out and hopefully be able to show it to you all someday. For now, I shall find the "account delete" button as requested. Bye all. Its been fun.

I really hate to be that guy, but come on man. Street racing and driving like an idiot on public roads is just f%#@ing stupid.

Also, please explain how the Z4 M Coupe isn't a fastback and the Crossfire & Cayman are. I fail to see your logic there, or in any of your other posts for that matter.

I really think he's trying too hard and getting himself caught in a trap when we don't go along with it.

Have people done an engine swap on the Crossfire? Yes. Do we believe he can do one? No. Do we believe he knows enough about this topic or any of the other topics he brought up to be spouting off this nonsense? No.

well after reading all this some of us were just plain mean to a kid trying, its a shame too ,because as Albert Einstein said Brilliant spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds" im not saying you guys are dumb or questioning intelligence of anyone but come on lets not knock people down for trying. people that try have a better chance of succeeding then those who have given up!
with that being said , im sure there are ways to improve this beautiful car, but with that also being said , i cant tame her yet, shes scary around the bends if the road has any bumps , anyone felt that before?

Wow! Just tripped across this thread. Just wish I had enough money or a rich Dad to have Viper dreams when I was 22. But then Vipers didn't exist when I was 22.

Stick around a little while, you are new. When you have been here for many years and you literally have the SAME questions come from 100+ members, all who are 100% sure that they know better than the hundreds who have tried before them. Is anything possible? Yes, with enough time and money, but as we have seen over and over, these guys come here and say this stuff, tell the guys who actually know better that they are wrong, and in the end, you never hear from them again.

There have been a few ground breakers, and they have been embraced, but some rich, spoiled **** telling members with more experience working on cars than he has years in his life that he can do it better, cheaper, faster, etc went over exactly as I would imagine....

Why does he need any more power? He's got the Forza motorsports equivalent to a stage 2 weight reduction.

Anybody remember when he wanted to put holes in the back firewall to save weight?

Oh jeez was that you? I could've sworn he wanted to do it too. Saving 8 ounces just isn't worth the hassle lol.

BTW I thought you were off fighting in the coast guard.
