I might be able to make that one. What happen to everyone last Saturday ? I was there @ 6:30 till 7:45 and I was the only Mach 1 there. I met a guy who just bought a 03 Cobra he parkede behind me, there were lots of great looking cars around.:COOL:

Hey Fred,
I got there around 8pm. I had gone to the Pavilions but it was WAY to crowded. I'm tired of parking a block away and having to walk to the cars!

By the time I got back to 57 AVE./Bell people were leaving.

Hope to see everyone this Sat.

[FRED CALTABIANO]

there were a lot of cars @ 57 and Bell too, sorry I missed you. I hope to see every one next week:THUMBSUP:

Was there a new BMW 540i there? It was white with really nice wheels. I got behind him going north on 57th. He turned west on 101. I'll tell you the story on Saturday... dont want to say too much on line.

[FRED CALTABIANO]

I'm not sure on that one:)

Actually that BMW really impressed me. For a family sedan to run that well is pretty good. I wonder what kind of engine/transmission they have? I'd never be able to afford one... but it would be a neat family car?

[AZDave]

Rick, they have a 4.4L 32valve V-8.
290hp, 324 torque, and weigh about 3800 lbs. I have an X5 with the same engine, but it weighs around 4800 lbs. Still hauls the family (and ***) quickly though.

I'l race with my Dodge Hemi Ram 1500:ANGEL:

Hey Fred,
Ever since I saw the first commercial for the Dodge truck Hemi I've been curious about how they would run? There is a big difference between the ability to pull a house uphill against the wind... and outrunning another truck/car on the open road? I guess I've been around long enough not to be impressed by just a name (hemi). And I sure am not impressed by tv commercials, even though I like to chuckle at the funny ones. Until I see an unbiased magazine do a road test and see the time slips the jury is out? The hemi had a great design for getting air in and out of the cylinder... but DOHC does a great job too. I did like the hot little 360 short bed pickup they had a few years ago?

[AZDave]

You're on Fred. I've always wanted to flog the X at the track.
I've seen Hemi Ram 1500 guys claim running 6.5 to 7.0 0 to 60 times and 14.8 - 14.9 1/4's measured with one of those portable gizmos. Impressive.

[FRED CALTABIANO]

I don't know what it will do at the track but it is definitley better than my than the 4.7 Ram I had.I know the acceleration is way better and the gas milage is good too:THUMBSUP: I am thinking about putting a high performance exhaust system on it:D
