Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CALLING MY PLAYERS!

Nope. Wife doesn't drive manual, and its been a while for myself. Automatic wasn't an option when I got it.

Bummer. Still, they are fun cars to drive.

That would be pretty sweet. I've got a supercharged 383 in my '85 Corvette, and it puts out somewhere between about 425-450. Now if I just had the cash to do everything else I wanted to do to the car. Since I bought a house, it tends to take precedence over my cars.

Where do the bikes/hogs/crotch-rockets fit in that scheme?

My bike is probably between 105-110 horsepower. It is actually faster than the corvette, for a whole lot less money. The bike runs a sub 11.3 second quarter mile, where the fastest I ever got my 'vette was an 11.88 (and that was running 3 pounds higher boost with the supercharger than I am running now). Those times are adjusted for sea-level altitude, of course, since the track here is at like 4300 feet.

<blink> You do?! That's a fantastic ride!

My "pocket rocket" is about 150hp and would run a 10 second quarter (or thereabouts) with a top speed around 185mph - but there are faster bikes out there....

I do...it has been a project car of mine for over ten years. LOL. Still need to replace the interior, and it could use a new paint job, though it still looks good from twenty or so feet away!

Exactly...yours is definitely quicker than mine, but I'm not sure I'm ready for one that quick. LOL. I've seen a few bikes pushing over 200 horsepower, which seems insane to me!

Thanks for letting me know! Have a great trip!

Likewise, I am heading to the beach for a few days and expect to have little chance to post after tomorrow. Please take care of Verdis for me.

 

[Rhun]

No worries, Scotley! Enjoy!

Just a bump to keep the OOC thread from falling to page 5 or so.
