Hey, how's everyone doin'? Well, lets see, i bought my 1998 Aurora 3 days ago after selling my 1998 Ford Taurus, its probably the best thing that i've done so far. although i'm working 12 hour days to afford this car from the difference in prices, hehe, but i definitely think its worth it. A little about me, i'm 19, i go to the Milwaukee School of Engineering, and in the summers i work at Andersen Windows (Woohoo!, heh). I plan on being an automotive designer. if anyone is interested on my designs go here... www.nfscars.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=13226&sid=0f519607c302e18422e65580f4d0afbb

ya really think it looks like a Cien?, here's what a cien looks like. I don't think i've heard that before, but i have heard it looks like a ricer, actually that's mostly what i hear, cause people don't understand that all the ducts are all functional and serve a purpose. when i someday build this car, it will be totally carbon fiber, it will have a Twin-Turbocharged DOHC 8.3L V-10 and be all wheel drive. i have some hidden engineering ideas in the car that even though i don't know if they will work, i'm carefull who i tell my ideas too. Heh, parinoid i guess I appreciate the welcomes ;D But yeah, on that car, i think i've spent about 2 years on it so far, i think i've done all i can to it, except i could probably make an interior for it, i used it more to let the ideas out of my head and to practice 3d modeling.

For the car i designed or the Cien? Heh, i expect my car ( if i only make one ) to cost anywhere from $100,000 to $500,000, not including time, i'm leaning toward the more expensive one, lol, the engine alone will be probably $200,000, heh since yeah, noone makes a DOHC 8.3L V-10, i would probably use engine components from the viper but redo the heads so the valve train would be DOHC, i suppose the block could be lightened then too since the space for the pushrods wouldn't be needed, but that's a little farther than i want to think for now , hehe.
