I just picked up a ’98 Cobra with a handbuilt engine from Romeo. 113,000 miles, no ticking, no clouds of smoke, starts instantly, Easily revs to the 7,000 rpm redline, just kicked ass on a Trans-am last night, and 21.5 miles per gallon. Nuff said.

=======>>you’re exactly right beatusmongous. crackerhemi sounded so foolish with his first comment that he tried to change the subject to horsepower vs someone’s IQ, in which he made his own IQ like a fraction of the 108hp 1.6 that came in my ’93 sentra….

300 is higher than anyone’s IQ, especially since 200 is considered “unmeasurable genius.” Heck, HRR could be a certified genius and still have a fewer IQ points than the 4.0 Mustang has horsepower.

It sucks that these people have to be laid off, though. I know it would cost money, but why can’t they convert the plant to make smaller motors? What if they trained the employees to make blocks 1/2 the size? I know it takes R&D, and it’s not as easy as I try to make it sound, but it sure would be nice if it was that easy. It sucks when people lose their jobs.

Speaking of which, I’d better get back to work…

Nothing but juvenile comments once again.

We all share a passion for cars here, folks – can’t we all just get along?

For one thing, its different when you build a great engine by hand, but we are talking about a POS iron core engine. I mean look at ford’s 4.0L V6 engine that pumps out a whopping 200HP, or their shitty 4.6L V8 which pumps out a queer 300HP. 300 may be higher than HomoRR’s IQ, but that isn’t saying much.

To CrackerHemi, handbuilding a car means knitting it with steel wool.

Every new Nissan GT-R has a handbuilt engine, and it’s a technological marvel in car engineering. I guess robots can’t replace humans just yet.

^^^ Maybe he can just criticize Rolls Royce for hand building the entire car. Crackerhemi is just mad because he doesn’t know how to build any part os a car with his hands, because his are always on his pecker wacking off.

====>>LOL chester. and CRACKERHEMI, u are a MAJOR IDIOT, just like your name implies. The article says that they handbuilds the ONLY THE 5.4 GT500′s engine. You gonna criticize FERRARI for hand building their ENZO engines? ///AMG for handbuilding their bi-turbo 6.0V12? Sometimes u can’t judge a book by its cover, but your screename implies the exact intellect that lies beneath your pages.

uhh, it’s the year 2008. Why are they still building engines by hand. I knew American car manufacturers were slow, but damn, that is just prehistoric.
