  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Best Sounding Cars

Based on real life and not recordings, in no particular order: Ferrari 250LM, Ferrari 412T2 (1994), Lotus 49T Cosworth and Ferrari 246T Dino (Tasman Cup 1968), and recently, a Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 that blasted it's way through our rural landscape.

Best sounding car? That would have been my 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport, equipped with a 408 cubic inch V-8, Holley 750 cfm 4-barrel vacuum secondary carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, ported 2-V heads, Competition Cams 268H cam, Harlan Sharp roller rocker arms, forged TRW pistons, head and block milled to increase static compression to 8.8:1, steel tube headers, dual exhaust with crossover pipe and Thrush Turbo mufflers. I built that engine and I liked the way it sounded, so did my friends. They said they could tell my car from the other hot rods in the area just on the exhaust sound. I miss that car, I miss the 1980's.
 
From a couple of historic races, in no particular order:

Maserati 250F
Lola T70
Maserati MC12 GT1
Aston martin DBR9 V12 GT3
Corvette C2 Grand Sport
Tyrrell 012
Jordan Mugen EJ11
Jaguar XJR-9

And many more...
