Jimmy Carr: "Michael Jackson earned $120,000,000 last year, and he's dead. I just throw that out there in case anyone from Justin Bieber's record company is watching..."
Sounds like a plan to me...

My only problem with that is MJ lasted quite a while before he managed to kark it, lets hope the other little twat doesn't last that liong or produce so many performances.

Do you remember back in the distant past when Prince was considered weird and Michael Jackson was the normal one?

The Lounge is still the only place I ever see mention of Beiber.
Given that I'm not a teenage girl and don't read showbiz or celebrity magazines or websites, I don't understand how he spends so much time irritating the rest of you.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

"Researchers from the BICEP2 collaboration today announced the first direct evidence for this cosmic inflation. Their data also represent the first images of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. These waves have been described as the "first tremors of the Big Bang." Finally, the data confirm a deep connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity.
"Detecting this signal is one of the most important goals in cosmology today. A lot of work by a lot of people has led up to this point," said John Kovac (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), leader of the BICEP2 collaboration." [^]

The 2 biggest deepest theory of physics keep being spot on many tens of years after they last draft!!! 
Meanwhile the puzzle of dark matter of dark energy remains and no theory account for it... 
(+ the inside of black holes is still shrouded in mystery... (pun intended!!  ))

I've been saving cash since October to swap a 427cid stroker into my 2012 Mustang (for you euro guys, that's a RCH (WIKI[^] under seven liters).
As of this weekend, I've achieved a little more than 70% of my parts cost goal ($18k), which includes a Dart 4-bolt main block, AFR 205 aluminum heads, zero-balanced forged crank/rods/pistons, TrickFlow Stage 3 cam, Edelbrock RPM Air Gap dual-plane intake manifold, QuickFuel BDQ850 mechanical secondary carb, MSD ignition, and a Tremec T56 6-speed manual trans.
It's gonna sound something like this when I'm done:

The motor is gonna look something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fts0Z1jaw5s[^]
And it's gonna run something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjrDhMxdaAs[^]
The car in the linked videos current runs 9:30 in the 1/4 mile with nitrous, but my car probably won't be quite as fast because I'm building my car to go fast in the turns for longer than 9 seconds (and I won't be running nitrous).
If you're not a car guy, you can safely go on about your business. I'm just trying to man-up the Lounge a little.

Awesome you'll have more horses than the Cottontail Ranch in Las Vegas!
Nice ride!

I think extra-plush pink velour for the interior is right.

To be precise, fuchsia.

Wait a sec....If I recall, and am too lazy to look up, you started with a sensible V6 (Ford-3.0L?) and now you want to move up to a 427 (6.0L )? That must need to replace the entire drive train?

Actually, the numbers are 3.7 V6 to a 7-liter V8. Yes, everything except the radiator and rear end has to be changed.

Bit of a difference. I figured you would have to re-gear the rear end as well. Sounds like you have it in hand. Are you going to share a blog or anything on the transformation?

9 minutes 30 seconds ? That was my first impression.

Oops - mean 9.3 seconds

I don't know why you bought a new car. Should have bought used as you have replace most of the working parts.

|
|
|

Because I don't have to do the body work an old Mustang usually requires.

There is that.
I don't have the patience for body work. The endless sanding drives me crazy. However the metal work is fun.

You should have just bought my V8. (it's still for sale by the way, parked on the driveway while I drive the new car)
