Spending $50K on a $20K car and NEVER going to the track is in my book.

You guys forgot to take the derivative of Inf... check out the formula again.

Umm I think you are confused again.

lets just say that the magazine time is 15.0 and the number of rice mods is........well.........umm.........234089203480239 84023984 X 10^6.

Z= your car must be really fast going straight up.
Y= I dont know why you are so ghey.
X= the distance down the track 1320 ft.

You have to take the partial derivative of the # of rice mods on car.

f(x) = sqrt( 4x^y * [Magazine time] - [# of rice mods on car] + ln z)

F'(# of rice mods) = sqrt(- # of rice mods on car)

which as you know is not possible

so all this means is that Keving is ghey and he will never actually go to the track.

but all this still doesnt make any sense other then Kev not goin to the track nothing is making any sense.

Maybe $50K including the cost of the car from day 1 and all the mods youve tried, maybe a bit more? give or take a few grand im sure thats a close guess.

You're not done yet! And you'll never go to the track, so I think I'm pretty damn close.

I don't think breaking driveshafts will be an issue at all.

You have a 12 second car, its just a matter of driving it into that time.

Dont' worry Nigel, you will get it.
