FORD isn't....

December 6 2008, 10:47 PM 

Jim Cunningham and others are privately funding the developemnet of a new NHRA legal head for his ford pro stock engine. Ray Franks and Darin Morgan from Profiler have been working on it for awhile already. Ford is helping with the 2010 Mustang body development as far as using their wind tunnel.

Hopefully NHRA will allow the new head (they have regected several)and Jim can be competitive instead of not qualifying at all. He will have 2 cars and Erica Enders will possibly drive the second car.

"First off, FORD IS NOT SPENDING ANY MONEY ON THIS DEAL!. " I never got into the 385 stuff. It sure is cool though

Here's the new NHRA legal spec racer

December 7 2008, 7:23 AM

All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again -- with a vengeance.

We've subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you'll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the
optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that's a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.

Even with increased performance we didn't skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you'll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed.

But the changes don't stop there. Sporty mag-style hubcaps and an all-new aggressive wedge shape designed by CM's Chief Stylist Ted Kennedy slices through the wind like an omnibus spending bill. It even features an airtight undercarriage to keep you and a passenger afloat up to 15 minutes -- even in the choppy waters of a Cap Cod inlet. Available a rainbow of color choices to match any wardrobe, from Harvest Avocado to French
Mustard.

Inside, a luxurious all-velour interior designed by Barney Frank features thoughtful appointments like in-dash condom dispenser and detachable
vibrating shift knob. A special high capacity hatchback holds up to 300 aluminum cans, meaning fewer trips to the redemption center. And the
standard 3 speaker Fairness ActoPhonic FM low-band sound system means you'll never miss a segment of NPR again.

Best of all, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt is made right here in the U.S.A. by fully card-checked unionized workers and Detroit's famous visionary
jet-set managers. Even if you don't own one, you can enjoy the patriotic satisfaction that you're supporting the high wages, good benefits, and generous political donations that are once again making the American car industry the envy of the world.

But why not buy one anyway? With an MSRP starting at only $629,999.99, it's affordable too. Don't forget to ask about dealer incentives, rebates, tax credits, and wealth redistribution plans for customers from dozens of qualifying special interest groups. Plus easy-pay financing programs from Fanny Mae.

So take the bus to your local CM dealer today and find out why the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the only car endorsed by President Barack
Obama. One test drive will convince you that you'd choose it over the import brands. Even if they were still legal.

They almost did it once before, the AMC Pacer

December 7 2008, 7:49 AM 

The Pelosi/Frank mobile may come in cheaper if you are of certain sexual orientations. I just don't feel comfortable thinking of how they plan to put the vibrating, with optional thrust action or cat tongue sweep, shift knob through the driver bucket seat, I never got too used to taking the shifter off of the column. Besides, isn't texting while driving bad enough?

And what about your passenger, dammit. All that "driving" pleasure, and all they get is a can smasher to play with?

Thats just wrong.

Chrysler's current owner Cerberus Capital Management picked it up to get the financial div

December 7 2008, 1:40 PM 

then the price of oil soared, the shit hit the fan and the value of Chrysler fell through the floor. Cerberus Capital Management had only wanted the financial divisions of Chrysler and intended to sell off the auto mfg part. Of course bailing out Chrysler is now bailing out a financial group that got caught with a sinking car company, so bailing Chrysler out bails out the investors that were trying to make a quick buck as they were going to slice dice and cut up a car company
