Are they really rice when they're functional?

Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. In this case, it'd just be Race Inspired Enhancements lol. The vents would look a lot better if they were body color but if they annoy you that much just get black And honestly I think the taillights will look better in person. It's always hard to tell in photos.

You're too young for a Corvette anyway!

Come back in 25 years when you're balder and a script for Viagra.

Dang... found out that the magazine company I want to work for pretty much owns a buttload of all the magazines you find on the magazine stand.

Motortrend, import tuner, super street, motosports, trucks, guns.. Like whoa~

I also got to see their garage and I hope I get to check out the El Segundo place where they have an entire parking structure of cars.

Whoa~~~~

But to much airflow consumption means engine is trying to hard?

Trying to understand this..

Compare the older 2ZZ-GE to the modern FA20. Both are 100 hp/L motors. But comparing their displacement and rpm to power output, the FA20 is generating more power for the amount of air it is inhaling.

haha that's the plan, once I'm too fat and old for the FR-S I'll have to get me one I guess by then it'll probably be like the C9 or C11

Hmmm not sure that's the typical usage of gross...

I'm tired of customers constantly harassing me because of the way I look. Fucking get laid and leave me alone. Girls do not like creeps.
This time it was so bad I had to excuse myself, now I'm just hiding in the back room

Not like before losses/deductions? I gross $x, then the nice gov't takes their share so I net $(0.7)x.

That's how I was using it. Before flow losses, so 100% VE.

Hmmm I suppose from a calculation point of view that kinda makes sense, but it bothers me because airflow is naturally something that follows the pressure drop and there is nothing resembling a "deduction".
