Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

            Re: Top Speed Supercars

            When someone ask: what is "The Fastest Production Car" there are obvoius and hidden qualifiers. Production itself is a qualifier. So is Fastest... and in the U.S. "fastest" is OFTEN CONFUSED with "quickest" (as in fastest accelerating). Fastest and quickest are NOT the same. Zero to 60 mph times and the quarter mile have NOTHING to do with the fastest. Although over the last 20 years I admit it is a little less confusing for most Americans who are drag strip happy... not that there is anything wrong with that, its just one narrow window of performance.

            The new Barabus TKR, the Veryon, and McClaren F1 are often mentioned in Fastest production car forums. They are production cars in the since that with enough money and patience... they can be purchased with possibly a year or more wait to have it built... However, in sanctioned road racing, 200 is often mentioned as the minumum yearly production number to be considered a "production car"... which means the three super exotics listed above would NOT qualify (under the 200 a year rule).

            Since I am building a "production" based car to run at Bonneville to set a land world speed record or two, this is interesting to me. Currently, at Bonneville, the "fastest Production based car running in a Production class is John Rains modified 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans-Am with a 272 cubic inch V-6 Turbo. This car's top speed is well above the three super Exotics listed above. Yes, this car does have an absolutely stock factory body... it is lowered though and generates far more horsepower than it did stock. However, the rules by the sanctioning body at Bonneville DO NOT allow engine configurations that were not originally available that year make and model... You for instance could not take a turbo charged engine if not originally a factory option... and the engine must use the same number of cylinders and basic block configuration. Well, the 1989 Turbo Trans-Am was based on a stage 2 indy racing block which was not acually used in most production units BUT a few test models... that's enough. So John Rains car produces more horsepower than a Veryon and an McClaren F1 COMBINED (it actually does). This 4.5 litre v-6 producing close to 2000 sea Net hp in a Trans-Am went 303 mph out the back door at Bonneville and averaged over 297mph in a flying mile. What would happen if you geared up a Barabus TKR, or the Veryon, and McClaren F1 and increased horse power to = John Rains car... then of the four, which would be the fastest... I already know the answer, it would still be John Rains Turbo Trans-AM, even though the total aerodynamic drag on the Trans-Am is slightly higher than the Ultra-exotics. Why ??? hint... believe it or not, the Trans-Am is more stable across multiple dementional axis, which is whyit can achieve higher top speeds at ultra high horsepower levels.
            iN a nutshell, at Bonneville and when your shootiing for 300 mph, Ultra exotics, Fararris, Lambos, etc HAVE BEEN TRIED and ... they suck at land world speed records.
