Yea, I know, Rudy. But please ... batteries, motors ... BORING.

And besides, I think electrification of cars will do to our electric rates what "biofuel" (growing corn for fuel) will do to our food prices.

Never mind me, it was 30F here this morning.

 

if you think u save by going elect,, did you know the volt cost $.41 per mile to charge the system up where gas driven volt cost $.38 per mile ,, elect 250 miles then recharge at a cost of $29.00 ,, gas volt fill up $31.00 and refill up at 422 miles yea,, go elect.

 

And the price of that recharge varies GREATLY, I had no idea how much electric rates varied around the country....

Electric Power Monthly - Average Retail Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by End-Use Sector, by State


I pay 7 cents a kWh here in Georiga, got a friend in the northeast (newsartist at thespaceport) who pays 17 cents off peak and 28 cents on peak! DAMN!

 

Alright, enough about electric cars and back to these fossil fuel burning bad boys. Here's some new eye candy to keep everyone up to date on what's happening! BTW, what's everyone's thoughts on painting the airboxes and front engine cover SSB to match the car, or silver to match the accents on the car?

 

Very nice pic's Rudy, Should be seeing you guys very soon... And I am bringing the new car for your enjoyment!!!


But first I need to meet up with John this week so I can check out his new XFire

 

Now didn't I promise you eye candy? OK there isn't a set of three and we couldn't find any beautiful twins to show you our wares; but hay this IS Wisconsin...

Let us know your thoughts and all stay safe...

Paint them S.S.B. to match the car, it will look sick!

 

Looking forward to it, Vince.

Hay? LOL you have been up there too long

 

-------AMX------

 

Rudy, SSB would look very good for the plenums and cover.....

I am sooooooooo jealous of you guys with the 55K engines..... aside from all the power, they are gorgeous!!!

 

Looking good Rudy!

Paint the plastic to match the car, AND get some Black chrome under that hood

 

I may alone in this stance, but I think the engine is a piece of art and would look amazing without any additional touches. I also think the engine would make a great contrast to the SSB color, would make it look lilke it was a factory one off that was a test mule or something of the sort.

I agree with you 100%
It is not a "honda" or "ricer" and does not need all the little plastic parts to be painted.

 

Ya know, for a guy that repainted his car and only did the hood and roof, I don't know if you've got a whole of say in the matter. LOL

 

Great!, I never really thought about it, so how do you pronounce those names (AMG) ???

 

Ow-freshed Mel-sure and Grow-ha-spa

 

A eM Gee

 

Don't you mean Aye-eM-Jee or for our friends nort of da boarder, Eh-eM-Jee!

 

Thanks Rudy... I knew I could count on you to keep me straight. LOL That is a sweet looking engine. Is that a crinkle coat on the plenums?

 

You know somebody has to and it's only in good fun. LOL

Actually, that is a teflon coating that Rob at NW applies to them to the inside so it flows better and on the outside so it looks better.
