(Mushy - the truth of the matter is if you want to register your car in NSW - the best option by far is a LS series motor, but these old guys just dont get it. Something about blind loyalty, not seeing the woods for the trees etc etc.)

We all enjoy winding each other up over engine choices. We laugh at their boat anchors and they sneer at our recycled beer cans.
Wouldn't have it any other way 
Cheers

Beer cans would be OK Mike, but they make em out of recycled baby formula cans....
Dummy (spit) anyone ?

Hey thats your opinion, Blind loyalty has nothing to do with it, a lot of people would say that its not the best option, its by far the cheaper option,
All I say is each to their own, you go with what you like, but if I was to build a corvette I sure wouldn't put a ford engine in it because I like ford,
like the guys say where only having a dig and a bit of a laugh but you always have to bite rocca,
tzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz another good catch for the week
Hey Mike that actually works I lost 13 kilo's after a diet for a month , dropped .5 sec in the 1/4 mile
Ran an 11.57 at 192 mph on friday night

Pete - you take my comments far to seriously I think.
Ill let you in on a secret - Ive never owned a ford, Ive never owned a holden. (Supported both Moffat and Brock at times when I was a little fella.) Have no loyalty to either make. Cant fit a boss in a CR, and Iemma or Scully or whoever makes the decisions wont let me use anything else - so the decision is a no brainer. If the LS engines were made by Ford, thats what I would use - If the boss was made by holden, I still wouldnt use it cos it wont fit. I would happily put a ford in mine if they made a viable option for me.
Its all pretty simple really, and If anyone want to be critical of using a chev in a cobra - then talk to the NSW government. Hard to be critical of those just abiding by the rules.

At that trap speed I certainly hope your chutes were working well... should be good for mid to high 6's when you can get it to hook up!!!
See Tenrocca, we can't compete with these Fords |
