I meant that it doesn't change the fact that they got 300hp from an engine that was 1.8L originally. Yeah, but the displacement enlargement is what makes it much less impressive, not to mention, as I pointed out earlier, DynaPack numbers aren't realistic. DynaPack dyno is connected to the hubs, wit...

At least the 1.8T's have plenty of mods available to them to make them a bit faster. The older 2.8's are just dogs. Apples to oranges. The B5 platform had a 1.8T as well, the B5 2.8 is as much a dog as the B6 3.0 and B7 3.2... And it's really a matter of no tuner bothering with the A4 V6's except f...

If it didn’t matter much, they wouldn’t bother enlarging displacement in the first place, it matters... MUCH.

Btw, that Civic is 2.0L not 1.8, and the dyno was a DynaPack, which generates happy numbers, in the 10~15% range higher than a more sophisticated (read; realistic) dyno like DynoJet.

300 crank hp from a 1.8liter engine is not physically possible without forced induction or a shot of nitrous.

Audi A4's are slow and heavy.

you have to be careful because most video cards don't support the somewhat odd LCD-TV resolutions - i.e. 1366 x 768 so you may run into problems or need to buy a new video card. Dead wrong, it's called PowerStrip, it can match any display's native resolution and timings, and use pretty much any mod...

Plasma is better for movies, LCD is generally sharper and can feature higher resolution, so if you plan to use it as a computer monitor, it might be a better choice. As far as image quality goes, Plasma is superior. But realize these characteristics vary model to model in both categories. Low end pl...

unfortuante that by the time a civic can beat a viper it costs the same ammount, and has 1/10th of the reliability, economy, and driveability it was designed to have. Right on the reliability and drivability, but still much cheaper than an SRT-10 and still much more economical. I went from 25mpg to...

Bugatti/VAG doesn't expect to make a dime from the Veyron, it exists to put the brand on the map again. Bugatti will start making money with their next model, whitch should cost only a fraction of the Veyron, and compete with the likes of Aston Martin Vantage, Ferrari Dino, Porsche Cayman S...

You can get a Canon Digital Rebel XT for a few hundred more, and you'll use it for a very long time. You'd have to spend a shitload to match FZ5's optically stabilized 36-432mm f/3.3 maximum aperture lens, in function that is, I'm not talking about quality. Some people prefer convenience over maxim...

f/2.8 - f/5.1 for that Kodak digicam... Decent on the wide end, poor on the long end. f/5.1 requires pretty good light, short ISO range doesn't help either...

The 2005FPW is not available in Canada yet. Dell/LG LCDs are pretty damn good, I personally own the 20" 2001FP and couldn't be happier, we also have the cheaper 19" E193FP, which I bought for my dad, and IMO, it's a killer deal at 450 CAD, certainly better then anything I could find locall...

Going from composite to svideo is a considerable improvement, especially in sharpness, but we're still talking about 480i. Only the component connection allows 480p and 1080i to work... The difference between 480i and 480p is quite dramatic, but the difference between 480p and 1080i is rather neglig...

Those screens are not 16:9, they're all 16:10.

Beemers have two wheels, not four. It's not a rule, just slang that dates back to BMW's early days in motorcycle racing, just like their main competitor's (BSA) bikes were named Beesers... BMW's on four wheels are Bimmers.

Gameshark is your only option if you want to cheat in GT4.

I'm sorry, English is only my fourth language... Regardless, do you have any substantial arguments to prove any of my points wrong?

Opera 8 renders pages faster, takes less resources, starts up faster then firefox, is more secure then firefox and certainly has more features then firefox. Plain and simple.

The new nVidia 6800 Ultra with a 512MB frame buffer features a dual link DVI interface, much cheaper, and obviously much better for those that want to play PC games on one of these 30” displays…
