gixxerkart

a go-kart powered by a Suzuki GSXR engine. So far their are the 750 gixxerkart(original) and the 1000 gixxerkart. the gokart's are basically made from shifter-kart frame's and gixxer engines and a guy with a lot of skill. yet to have been built is my brainchild, i like to call it the Busakart. yes, that's right, a 1300 cc go kart, top speed, 189 mph (with a lot of straight and a guy driving with his ass 2 inches from the ground on an uber steering responsive go-kart, it will be done, if i have to do it myself...muhaahaahahahahahamuhaha.)

that gixxerkart just drifted that big ass turn, in 6th.

Yep, it also does 0-60 in 3 sec.

and it's a clutch, God, the fun you could have...

.3~

.3~ or .3 repeating is commonly thought to equal 1/3. Believers of this idea claim that because the number of decimals is infinite, that it must equal 1/3. They sometimes use the supporting example that .33333333=1/3, therefore .66666666=2/3 therefore .99999999= 3/3, or 1. To prove this wrong, you need to consider 2 things. First, and most sensible, 10 is not divisible by 3. Therefore, no matter how many .3's you use, they will never be able to complete the whole number 1. The second thing you need to consider is that with .33333~, you will always be off by just a little from achieving 1/3. This is why when you use a calculator and enter 1/3, the decimal given is .333333334.

.33333333x3= .99999999
.33333334x3=1.02
The answer of what decimal multiplied by 3 equals one is lurking somewhere in between those 2.

nos

Acronym for , Nitrous Oxide Sytems, used for fuel injected cars ( can be used for carbuerated, with a lot more hassle and cussing) to boost the car's acceleration by injecting a pre-determined shot of nitrous oxide into the fuel-air mixture. Doing this creates a feeling similar to turbo-charging your car. This can sometimes be a cheaper alternative to turbo or super chargers. However, nitrous requires refilling whereas turbo does not, so turbo pays off in the long run. Both can create an undesirable high pitched sound commonly heard in briggs and stratton's, I mean 4-bangers. So for a way to increase performance w/out 2-stroke sounds, please see NA

riceboy-dude my nitrous made my car do an 18 second 1/4.
chevyman-yeah, that's cool, my camaro ran that stock without leaving 3rd. ALL THROTTLE, NO BOTTLE!!!

NA

Naturally Aspirated. Used in many gran turismo games. A way of making your car faster and overall better performing than stock, without super or turbo chargers. To do this "tune-up", many things can work, lighter parts for the engine and a lighter block. Also increasing compression (ratio of volume in cylinders when at the down stroke compared to the volume at the top of the stroke. Cam shafts with larger domes to hold the valves open longer. High output injetion or carb and also thinner head gaskets and much more. A more costly way of improving performance, but with great return. For ways of increasing power and making your car a weed eater all in one, see NOS .

chevyman- dude, i had no idea a few little things could make my car the shit.
riceboy-yeah, whatever, my car has NOS and it will take your camaro anyday.
chevyman-what is your 1/4 mile?
riceboy-18.67 @ 80 m/ph.
chevyman-you need to shave about 6 seconds to beat me.

GTO

ahhh, the muscle car. Standing for gran turismo omologato, or nick-name GAS-TIRES-OIL., on account of your gonna need alot of all 3 when you drive it. Whatever you wanna call it, it was named after the ferrari 250 of the same badge. Appearing in 1964 as a high-end package on the tempest, it was the first muscle car, not mustang. If you look at mustang , those people try to say that it was the first. Anyway, in late '63, John DeLorean got to work, he dropped a 389 in a tempest to give it 325 hp, dual exhausts,AFB 4-barrel carb, 3.23 final drive and tons of GTO badges. Yes it got bigger, to 400 CI, but after '72, more fuel effecient cars were gaining popularity. In '74, it was discontinued. But in 04, america got to see the new GTO, true to its roots, 400 hp and rear wheel drive.

all you have to do is drive it, i couldn't explain it.
