Yeah, once in a while, I actually hit the 'submit' button..

Crazydave, does the Shaker hood actually shake? I doesn't on mine.

No, it don't actually shake. That what they call that type of hood on real cars, because the scoop is attached to the motor, and does shake.

1. The shaker shakes on the real car, but it shouldn't on the ZZ body.

2. Why didn't the stang get a shaker? If the ZZ body was real, it'd be a Q-Code car. I wish RS had put a shaker on the stang, b/c then I would have the R-Code model.

I know about the type, but just why did they make it two-piece?

Now we need this:

and a little modding and voila! the ZZ Boss would be like this

ok dude. one moment you dont even know what the hell a shaker hood is. the next you are whining that they didnt put one on the mustang?
dude you got some serious issues if you start crying about radioshack not putting something that you didnt even know what the hell it was 2 minutes before on a little piece of plastic that you have no obligation to buy.

please go whine about stupid things somewhere else in the future ok?

That wasn't it. Sorry I wasn't clear but, I know enough about muscle cars to know what a shaker was. I was just asking if the shaker hood actually shook on crazydaves's ZZ.

EDIT: I was giving ideas for modding ZZs.

I thought Canadian bit was talking about it on the ZZ, and it doesn't shake. I don't know what a shaker is? Are you kidding?! Do you even know the car codes on stangs? I am a car person first and foremost, and R/C car person second. Not knowing what a shaker is? Dude, my first word was Ford. I am not kidding. I am right now looking for a clean, high-mileage '93 Cobra, like my neighbor's, because of the GT-40 heads and intake. If I cannot get that, I will buy an LX, and shove either a 347 or a 418 in it. If you know so much about Boss 302s, then which motor did the heads come off of, huh? Do you know the bore and stroke of the motor?

I like the bodies, and have one, I just think that RS should've put it on there. Not only that, but then they show a pic of a real Boss with the Shaker! I said I wish, but I am not about to screw up the body putting a shaker on it. I think it would look cooler.

Hog, I might be 15, but I still know a ton about cars. And BTW, imports suck!

Found On Road Dead

all imports suck? umm sure.

When the last time you saw a street legal import pushing 1700 hp? Yes, I hate imports. I've seen at least one Stang with a 331 and a SINGLE TURBO doing that. It also ran 8s with power windows and doorlocks. I also don't see any answers to my Boss questions? It's okay to not know.

i perfer a well engineered car that suits whatever situation it was built for. and for nowadays i prefer most european/jap cars over most of the domestics(which are usually filled with foreign parts).

if you mean cars made in the 1960s and 70s then ya imports generally sucked then.

viperdout · Post by **viperdout** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 4:32 pm

I was talking about a Fox-body Mustang. It's funny, you have no comment about a 1700 hp import that can easily compete in true street. What's funnier is that this 1700 hp was made using an OHV design. And before you say "yeah, well when was the last time Ford built a 300 hp 4 cylinder", I suggest you look up an RS 200 EVO. 654 horses out of a 4 banger is impressive. What foreign parts are put into cars today (I am not talking about stereos)?

hogjowlz · Post by **hogjowlz** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 5:13 pm

did the 1700hp come from the factory? are you talking about the 1/4million dollar car? it would suck in a drag(the whole point of a muscle car).

then again you can get a 10second neon if you throw enough money at it.

but my point was: you can build a car to suit any purpose. ie.. drag racing, touring, circle track, off road, luxury, common commuting(most cars are for this but may try to act like they are for some other purpose).

and any really bad ass car is far from factory specs.

what parts of american cars are foreign? well most of any car's computer system was probably made in taiwan or china, lets see umm chrysler isnt even an american company anymore. japs are building cars in american plants. american companies steal foreign engineers and vice versa.
unless you are talking about a small limited run car, there is no such thing as "all american" or "pure german" anymore. oh ya you forget about our stupid emissions laws which ruin any car put out on the american market anyhow.

so ya remember your beloved viper(ya its a nice piece of engineering) isnt even really an american car anymore
