<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> I'm trying to help come up with a name for a new company. This company is going to design a brand new car, from scratch. The cars will resemble the cars of old (retro) but with a completely new design, all new body, interior, modern drivetrain, electronics, etc. It is not affiliated with any of the Big Three and therefore not tied to a single type of car, or hobbled by their burocracy and accountants.
Anyway, I want to come up with a name that says new, modern, performance, cutting edge, etc.
I liked Modern Motorsports, but that domain name is already gone.
So make with the suggestions already!
</div></BLOCKQUOTE>You know, you've asked some SCARY questions over at
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/ for a professional engine builder, fabricator and tuner. Yet, you offer NO advice. Questions about boost levels, pistons, all kinds of stuff. Scary stuff. Heck, maybe I should go through there and copy a bunch of them for the folks on this forum. Then again, you haven't bugged them since Jan '04 so I guess that learning curve is really kicking in.... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That was a different project. I was talking to the guy that designed the Gen V Camaro, featured in Popular Hot Rodding several times. After some investigations, it just turned out to be too monumental of a task.
I asked the questions on LS1 tech to find out what the stock shortblocks could take. Any time you are learning about a new prototype, you have to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the shortblock, valvetrain, transmission/drivetrain, fuel systems, etc. Every car manufacturer is different. Unlike the rest, I don't just add an FMU and call the fuel system done because that is a bandaid, I investigate and find the proper way to upgrade the fuel system, like a properly calibrated MAF, injectors and fuel pump. The supercharger manufacturers and other kit makers include the FMUs because they are cheap and it keeps the cost of their kits down. It's "good enough". Well, to me, good enough...isn't.
Do you have some personal vendetta against me? Or are you just related to or own one of my competitors? You sure are doing a lot of work to try and make me look bad. The internet is a pretty easy place to find information and use it out of context, especially when you have a unique name to search for.
I've already told you about the start of this company in my previous post, look for something current. It would be different if my name was Hennessey.
