Audi did used to claim that all their LMP1 cars could go 220, but the fastest I've ever seen any go was the R8 and the R10, both of which at LM in 2002 and 2007 respectively hit 210mph. For the R18, a 205mph top speed has been more the norm. I don't know how fast the new R8 GT3 can go (it was named after the old Audi R8 LMP1 LM car), but the R8 V10 road car could go over 195mph, the V8 could do almost 190. The Audi RS 7 is limited usually to 155mph by an electronic governor, but with out it, it could easily reach over 200mph, mostly because it has 560bhp (the top R8 V10s had that same power, and the Audi LMPs have varied between 650+ for the R8, 700+ for the R10 and R15, and around 600 for all the R18 variants, plus short bursts of almost 250bhp from the hybrid systems on the R18s). Of course, this is with the Le Mans track with the chicanes down the Mulsanne Straight. In the late '80s, the almost 3 mile long straight had cars easily going over 240mph, and that was actually as early as 1971! In 1988, a WM Peugeot P88 went 252mph, and the following year a Sauber/Mercedes-Benz hit 249. That's when the chicanes got put in place for 1990. Oh, and we had a '87 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe that could probably do at least 152mph, because it out ran a then brand new '98 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that was governor limited to 151mph! And a similar engine was put a Ford Ranger truck by my father, and he figured in theory it could do 175mph with the right gearing.

Shizu seems set in her ways towards Sho's friends, too. She was defending them the best she could at the mansion, and Sho's friends showed concern over her well being, and Shizu seemed to show some relief that Sho and Agito tried to iron out some of their differences and that at least Natsuki was OK. I can see and understand her being concerned about Mizuki and Tetsuro. Between that and her being forced to kill the Libertus to kill off Guyot's Urans, she seemed pretty pissed about that the last time we saw her. She always showed a lot more concern for Sho and his friends than Agito usually did. She actually kinda bonded with them, while Agito tried to stay as detached as possible. That's why I think that when Sho and Agito fought, it was more to see/confirm what Sho was made out of and if the Gigantic Exceed was for real than to actually kill Sho. I think that harming those she considers friends is a hard limit for Shizu, and in my fan fic, threatening her loved ones is one good way to get Shizu pissed off and a good way to get one's ass killed by her--and that includes Sho and especially Natsuki, Tetsuro and Mizuki, who in my story are still normal humans

Val's motives aren't clear, and of course we'd all like to know more about them. She's also very independent woman, but she's there kinda for fan service and maybe to show that a woman can be as evil and amoral as a man can be--that things like that are a human disease, not limited to one gender or the other. On the other hand, we have Shizu, who does exemplify most of the things we'd want in a woman and people in general--compassion, bravery, fidelity, all that kind of stuff. She's also an independent woman, but if Agito were to die, I'm not sure what she'd do. Agito is her life right now, and even if she were immortal, her life (to her) would lose a lot of value to her without him. Natsuki is extremely independent and intelligent. She can get along just fine, aside from the supernatural stuff, that is. Strangely, Chronos seems to ignore her, like they don't value her as a pawn they can use against Sho or Aptom, both of whom she is friends of and they (especially Aptom) seem to have feelings for her. Mizuki doe symbolize what love can do to a person, and she gives Sho something to fight for. Without her, Sho might have given up on fighting Chronos, and by extension, he sees the human race as being as valuable in the bigger scheme of things as Mizuki is to him. Also, for the most part, these women, especially Shizu, do tend to symbolize the highest things that humans can achieve before they're 20 years old. Mizuki was an honor studient, and has dealt with more crap than just about anyone in the manga. Natsuki was also an honor student and has tons of street smarts. Shizu might not have had a formal (conventional) education, but she had more knowledge of more stuff before the age of 18 than people 10 years her senior, and she gets to put that knowledge to work for her and her friends quite often. She also shows what good home schooling can do if people want to go down that route. Like Agito, Shizu studied advanced college level stuff as a teenager. Of course, this can be compared to like the Twilight Saga for example. Bella was Edward's reason to live and fight. Alice is the peppy , brainy cheerleader, and Rosalie is the brains behind a lot of stuff. That corresponds roughly to Mizuki, Natsuki and Shizu respectively, though Shizu would've been a lot nicer to Bella initially than Rosalie was. But one of the things that's kinda bothered me is the stereotype that women have to give up their femininity to be leaders or be powerful. Shizu IMO proves that wrong. She's the most overtly feminine character in Guyver, yet she's a leader and probably the most powerful person in Zeus' Thunderbolt aside from Agito. And she doesn't sink to normal "guy" levels, either. She's not mean or cruel, nasty or bitchy, and she inspires confidence rather than fear. Also, I believe that Natsuki is plenty feminine on the other side of the coin. She's more peppy than tomboyish, IMO. Just because she's a T-shirt and jeans girl doesn't mean that she's not feminine. She wears jewelry, seems to like fashion, probably does her nails and wears make up when she feels like it--you know, like Shizu probably does in her spare time. Being feminine is more than just clothes, hair, and make up, and you don't have to give that up to be a leader or powerful. See also the Twilight Saga, where Bella becomes more feminine after she becomes a vampire, but she's still a badass when she wants to be.

It's going to be warming up a bit in my area, though it's still in general going to be unseasonably cool and wet. You know the Proverb "April showers bring May flowers"? Well, it did rain a bit here in April, but May will definitely start off wet and cool based on the Weather Channel's forecasts.

Just a quick post: Audi R18 LM and next generation Audi R8 LMS GT3 car testing at Monza:

Hi everyone. I've got some stuff I wanna look up this morning and then I'll work on some fan fic today. I didn't really get to last night because I slept in until this morning. But I do have some really good ideas and such for my work. I'm also really addicted to listening to a couple of Jane Child songs, namely "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love" and "Welcome to the Real World". They've given me some inspiration for my fan fic stuff. I'll start looking some stuff up in a few minutes, then once that's done, it'll be time for fan fic stuff. I'll be back later

I've been really addicted to a couple of Jane Child songs, one of which some of you probably know from playing GTA5. They're called "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love" and "Welcome to the Real World".

I'm almost done with looking up some stuff, and I'll be getting some rest and reading in a while. I'll be back on later to do some more stuff and get started on my new fan fic chapter. I'll be back later

At some point he will, but up to now, no, he hasn't used the Gigantic armor yet.

I dug out that old engine book yesterday before I went to sleep. It may be over 40 years out of date, but still an interesting read.

Now, here's something new: The Audi R18 LM long tail: https://www.facebook...21778637&type=1 It was also spotted testing with what appears to be a new GT3 racing version of the new Audi R8 And a couple of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifb6pat56eg

Pork chops were pretty friggin' good. Non-stick pan made a huge difference with the coating.

I already know what I'll be doing--thinking about what could've happened if this happened. And maybe writing fan fic. When the Twilight Saga ended, there were so many loose ends in my mind that I decided that, in my fantasies, this is how things could work out. Of course, with Guyver, the problem is the opposite--we don't know when it'll end. So I went off into speculative fantasizing, and asked questions like "how can Shizu be made immortal?", "what would happen if zoaforms met up with other characters from fiction I like?", and so on. That's why I'm writing my fan fic, to try and tie up the loose ends the way I'd like for them to be tied off. With that stuff, we can kinda let our imagination run wild with the possibilities.

My wishes. 1: find a lover/girlfriend. 2: wish for good health and prosperity for my loved ones and others. 3: continue to be as happy as I've become in recent weeks, if not for things to be even better.

Hi everyone. I had my pork chop dinner last night and it was pretty good. New non-stick pan made a huge difference. Now, here's something new: The Audi R18 LM long tail: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.617651461655198.1073741844.449750421778637&type=1 It was also spotted testing with what appears to be a new GT3 racing version of the new Audi R8 And a couple of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifb6pat56eg I have a few things that I'd like to finish up then I'll work on some fan fic stuff. I'll be back later

Nah, not really, but a couple of guys get their asses kicked I'm almost done with all the stuff I wanted to work on, but now it's dinner time, then nap time I'll have a belly full of pork, potatoes, water flavored with Crystal Light tropical drink mix and some pretty pleasant thoughts under a warm blanket I'll then get up and finish what I was working on, post some stuff (such as the Audi R18 "long-tail"), then I'll be working on the fan fic I'll be back soon

I don't have too much going on right now, though I'd like to one day finish the Lia and Camel story, as well as a story that's a prequel to what I have going on right now. And the 30 chapters deal isn't that bad. This is fan fic, not an actual novel. Most chapters will be about 10 pages or so long. The Lia and Camel story is well over 40 chapters long, and most chapters are like 10-12 pages long.

I revealed that in the last paragraph, but to be more specific, Shizu tries to drive Jennifer home, but then they stop when they see Melinda and Jess walking with Mizuki. They get together and walk into a meadow. From there, things go downhill, at least for their would be attackers when they attack.

Right now, I'm expecting around 30 or so, maybe more depending on how much I decide to write. I don't really have a set number.

After I'm done looking up some Audi stuff--as well as post some of it here before I get off line for a while--there'll be the oft-postponed pork chop dinner comin' up. Then I might play on the PS2 for a while, and then I'll be working on some fan fic after that. I got plenty of fun stuff for the next chapter. Starts out as an impromptu girls' night out, and then a fight, then a revealation. But I have to finish chapter 10 first. Which leads me to a forgotten OC. Elizabeth, aka Elle: Female vampire hybrid, protagonist, brother of current main antagonist, 5'4, long dark brown hair, one brown eye, one green eye, feminine, married to Aptom, friend and ally of other protagonist in the story.

Possibly, but I'm not great with computer stuff. I have given it thought, though, since it'll be a while before I get them beta'd and up on a fan fic site. But I'd though that I'd at least post the raw chapters possibly if I could figure out how to do that.

This story, so far, 10 almost complete chapters. I'll be trying to get a start on 11 tonight if I can. A couple of the Twilight stories are about 10-15, and I have one story about Lia and Camel that I'm not finished with that's over 40. So that's where I'm at, and I'm expecting this story to maybe have over 30 chapters when I'm done with it.

I'll be working on this tonight--there's a very high likely hood that this will happen and I finally get a friggin' chapter finished!
