As for the UNuseful information : Law enforcement are not omnipresent.

Is there any information available , or , rule of thumb....for

determining the equivalent h.p. for various car weights ?? For instance

: If a 3200 lb car has 500 rwhp , what rwhp would a 2200 lb car need to

be equivalent in power ? (Obviously less, because of its lower weight ;

but is there a way to determine it ?).

My question arises from what i witnessed tonight on a highway as i was

driving my SUV. Up about 200 yards, a small foreign car (possibly a

Honda) did a u-turn onto my side of the highway. As he got straightened

in his lane, he nailed it , and this thing took off incredibly fast and

sounded like a very loud Vaccuum Cleaner (for lack of a better

analogy...:) ; when he shifted from 1st into 2nd , he layed rubber for

about 6 feet which i could see & hear , then went up the highway so fast

that i lost track of him. I was thinking that this guy could have kept

up with my built big block Vette . Could be he was on the bottle . But,

ive never seen an import move with such power.

So here I am, making a new blog since my previous one was kind of a bust. The day before I write my first CSC exam. It’s so hard to study in front of a computer, and I really should get back to studying. Mad procrastination.
¬_¬

Anyways, hopefully I’ll be a little more successful at regularly updating this blog. To end the first post, here’s some pictures of post-Imporfest 2009. Congrats to Caleb for getting 3rd in the 06-09 Civic/CSX category. It’s well deserved.

Title: Butterfly Inspired Car - The Nissan Teana Birdwing

Butterfly Inspired Car – The Nissan Teana Birdwing Concept -
This Nissan Teana concept is freakishly cool. Everything about the car is supposed to remind you of a butterfly. Why the butterfly was used to model a car, I have no idea, but I can’t argue with the results.

Everything from the exterior sheet metal to the heavily overworked interior is supposed to invoke one of nature’s most beautiful insects. The sensibility isn’t for everyone but there’s something original about all the detailing. It’s ornate but in a modern way. Get past the design quirks and you’ll find a car full of tech wizardry like a heads up HUD display and auto-driver mode. So how about it, would you drive one?
