there are some examples of earlier versions.

ok you are just a moron. its not like putting amd in an intel board because u can put a CF hood on a white car yes it is possible we have all seen pictures and it works very well.(still functions)you cant make an intel board function with an amd chip. i dont even think you can paint CF because you would have to sand it and that would ruin the top protective coating. so now you have just shown your ignorance on cars and computers.

from what i understand the koeniggs and the new zr1 are gonna be all carbon fiber, they are painted.

The new ZR1 is NOT all carbon fiber. Doors are not!

[Stewie007]

a CF hood is lighter and areodynamicly correct unlike having no hood(wind resistance) coef. drag ever heard of it?

Why do you persist? I fail to see how any of this has anything to do with painting carbon fiber.

For future reference, if you're gonna use big words, please spell them right.

Aerodynamically
Drag Coefficient

[trance565]

the drag coef on a stock appearance CF hood, vs. the stock hood non CF is no different.

anywho, and now for those pics of the 11.5 sec qt mile beast you've been wanting to see.

Cleaned my car a bit ago.



Backside..





It's dirty again....

[Stewie007]

Nice color I like blue on a vette.

Cleaned my car a bit ago.

Nice job there.

I like how mine looks after I wash it... Nice and shiny just like that.

Dont ya love it?

a CF hood is lighter and areodynamicly correct unlike having no hood(wind resistance) coef. drag ever heard of it? so it helps the car perform better the same way a vapo does with a cpu. they are both tools. so yes they are the same. how it looks and how it functions are 2 totaly different arguments.

A vapo LS is like the supercharger on his B series. Gives a healthy (though could be better) performance boost. A CF hood is like disabling themes in windows (dont get technical about how they boost spi performance on conroe please). It's mainly a looks thing and some people prefer it one way and others prefer it the other way. The performance difference would be very difficult to measure. Only difference is, disabling themes is free and a CF hood is costly

Trance your bros vette is awesome looking!

The car looks nice but the interior looks really cheap Full of cheap looking black plastic. Not much different compared to the Chrysler Voyager we had some time ago when our own car was in service.

[VL125]

I hope my "Projekt" will do the qt mile in under 12sec too, but i´m scared of it, b ecause of the selfmade Frame and the whells, but it does 2,9 seconds from 0-60mph and the Max speed is with 160mph too much too.

Not even the point. What you trying to get at?

[Nazu]

That it looked worse than I remembered.

[Pinnacle]

That it looked worse than I remembered.

What? Trances car looked worse then you remembered?

Anyways whatever.

[Stewie007]

I hate to be devil's advocate, but, it seems fair game. The GT-R thread didn't exactly go without any Nissan haters.

yeah, the cheap leather seats are so comfy i just wanna knife them with a pocket knife.

besides interior aint that important when doing 140+ so long as it makes you comfortable.

[Stewie007]

Come on guys, can't ya'll just kiss and make up? Its not that important.

Yeesh, I've gotta listen to all this junk at work because I like Pontiac. But sometimes ya just gotta restrain hehe.

How is it like that? The hood adds no functionality. A Vapochill does.

A Carbon fiber hood is not to a car as a vapochill is to a computer.

Its like putting a green side panel on a red computer. :p

thats what it has to do with and yes it is the same they both boost performance just one smaller than the other. who cares about color. you said has no functionality. it clearly does..... lighter weight dont talk about what you dont know about stick to street cars lol. and what word did i not spell right webster?

[megahurtz-oc]

The performance difference would be very difficult to measure.

no its not every 100 lbs is a .10 of a second in 1/4 mile. a performance gain is a perfomance gain i never said it was a huge gain. i should have known better to talk cars with guys that know more about cpus than cars. peace..

And a CF hood removes 100lb? More like 30.

[megahurtz-oc]

still can be measured small but still there.. any other comments?

[GMX]

why the hell would u paint carbon fiber. lol thats like using a vapochill on a cpu that will never get overclocked............

It doesn't say anywhere in motorsport regulations that CF must be painted. So why is it painted? You know there are very extremely fine applications of paint to keep drag down?

I can't even see pics of the interior. Besides, very nice Vette there Trance!
You've got to show us pics of your Stang now

[trance565]

stang is in one of my albums on put file, along with the old camaro. coulda sworn i posted pics of em all

[Stewie007]

This is really becoming asinine. You know, I don't really care whether I was right or wrong about your stupid analogy. There is one thing that I cannot be wrong about, and that is my opinion that a car with a different colored hood is reminiscent of what people where I come from call hic cars.

There are plenty of painted carbon fiber fenders and hoods out there; yes you can paint carbon fiber. In fact, it really takes care of sunlight degredation nicely.

[Jokester_wild]

Can't believe you guys were arguing about it. People have different styles, having a carbon fiber hood unpainted is a style. We all have different things we appreciate on our cars and also computers.

"we need to have respect for each other's ideas and for each other's hard work. I know it's hard to put one's preferences aside and respect things that we don't understand - it's so much easier to talk smack. Let's remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and though we may not agree with someone else's style, our world would be a much better place if we all had respect for each other. After all we are all just car people." - Rj de Vera, Modified Mag
