i had 2 others but the first time was a 13.0 because of the rev limiter hit. and the engine was at nomral operating temp, so i thought the tranny would be fine.

no no, with the extra transmission cooler on the car, it takes longer for the tranny to warm up.

in dallas forclosures arent that high, we havent been affected really.. and also inflation is higher in cali.. and a 400k house in cali is probably 2 bedrooms maybe 3..

also that engine pic was before the emission removal

yea 400-450k would get u a 2-3 bd room and 1 max 2 bath in a good area

inflation is a ***** here....u drive down the block by my school and there is 3 + houses siezed from the bank...foreclosed

u could prob pick up a decent 4 bd room for 350k-450k that is bank foreclosed but i dunno how all of that works







so what all did u take off for the emissions removal??? newer engine bay pic maybe?

Its not really inflation (i.e. general rise of prices over time), it was a classic bubble...
-gov't decides they want more ppl to own a house
-banks relax their credit rules and invent all kinds of products (i.e. interest only, 40 year amortizations, etc) to allow ppl who have no real ability to carry a mortgage to get a home.
-speculators jump into the market thinking they can flip that house
-then like all asset bubbles, reality sets in.. interest rates reset, ppl who could just barely afford a house at lower rates default on their payments and the banks foreclose on the house and then flood the market
-builders are left with unsold inventory
- the flippers have nobody to flip to and start panicking so they dump, prices fall...
- last man holding the "hot potato" gets screwed

Toronto has similar housing prices.. nevermind a "good" area.. just being in the downtown core will cost you $400k for a livable 2-3 bedroom house that doesnt have parking.

Anyhow, sorry for venturing offtopic. Great looking car!!!!!

Lets say the orig house owner bought a 500 k house with 100k down and borrowed 400k from the bank. They dont make the payments and then the bank takes over the house. The bank is in the business of making money through interest on their loan products, not selling houses, so all the bank is looking for is to recoup the mortgage amount of 400k, not the full 500k that the house was originally bought for. They dont want to hold a portfolio of homes. That is why foreclosed homes typically sell for less than market.. banks just dont want to take a loss on their loan.

However, in a housing bubble where appraised values at the time of purchase were WAY inflated, they still might not be able to sell the home at the mortgage amount only b/c the market is willing to pay much less.
