Know what I wish they made for a ve auto.
A trans brake
even though I know it would tear the trans apart. I had so much fun with my nova when I had it. I had a 4500 stall and trans-brake (had the button for it wired to a mallory "stutter box")in a 2 speed "powerglide" and man launches were fun with slicks.
I guess it would break the Maxima trans. the first time you let off the button but it would be fun. Oh well I can dream cant I.
Sorry if its a little off topic and might get locked but was just looking at some pics of my old Chevy 2 and got to thinking how much fun it was to hit that button and floor the car and have it "stutter" at 4.2k. ahh the memories...I really miss that car
again sorry for being a little ot.

. It was pretty fast. I had a 400 small block and with stock double hump heads and a cam that had 3 lobs wore bad it ran a 12.5. I took the heads off put Dart Sportsmans on and a big ultradyne roller cam in it but never got to get a time out of it but sold the motor and trans to a friend that put it in a full interior 69 Camaro and he is still running it and it runs a consistent 11.3 it has been 4 years now and its starting to smoke pretty bad but it got a lot of life out of a stock bottom end 400 (dish pistons and everything)I have pictures of it on my web page here is a pic of the car at a friends house.
and here is a pic of the motor.
take a look.

I want her to respect it and have a part of her in it when I let her drive it so she will take care of it like I did.

Since we are dreaming here, I wish that they would make bug whistles. They would be similiar to deer whistles, but they would get bugs out of your way. It is tiresome peeling the dead bodies off the front of the car after driving at night. Then again maybe this wouldn;t work since bugs can't get out of the way of a car doing 130+

Well, let's just HOPE that kingrye was only playing around with comments like that...
I like some American Iron as much as the next person (in particular, the 3.8l turbo-charged Buick Grand National I used to own...
).

turbo Buicks are cool..especially the T-types. Sleeper city! As for the american iron haters, I bet I can put together most any model American V-8 (dare I say Mustang?) for a mere fraction of what it would cost to even purchase a bone stock Supra TT. Ok now that tha't out of my system...

It really started off not to be ot because it would be cool to have a trans brake for a ve because with say a 3k converter (could be done with a big enough cooler) you could get out of the slugish start of the ve auto and be able to run closer to the 5 speeds. I just got a little carried away with talking about my old cars.
and as far as the supra goes-I just have to say I love all cars that are fast and look good (foreigh or domestic)and I was in no way compairing my cars to any others. I was just stating how much fun it is to have a trans brake.
