How do kitcars react to high speed or weather, Can the fiberglass body crack with dampness? Does fiberglass expand / retract in hot & cold weather? I heard that they can start to wobble at high speeds?

Is this true?

Thing is the weather aint so enjoyable where Im from.

If it's a custom car, all bets are off; it depends on the chassis as well as the builder. I've seen Cobras that have done 184.5 MPH at Willow. I've had a Cobra up to 165. They handle ... well, at those silly speeds they're a bit twitchy.

What kit car are you specifically looking at?

As far as fiberglass...fiberglass moves. It expands, it contracts. It does all kinds of things. Depending on the type of fiberglass (it could be polyester, it could be vinylester, it could be carbon fiber reinforced, it could be built on a wood subchassis, it could have metal mounts in it, etc) and how it was set up, it may hold up well outside in the cold or heat, or it may not.

Let's know a bit more about what kit you're looking and and I'm sure there are people here who can help you out.

Meat you are a Moron I have owned 8 corvettes over the years. The fiberglass does not move shrink expand and bubble or move in and out. What the hell are you saying panels are moving all over the place if that was the case paint would never stick nothing would hold it's shape. Most people do not understand when they say fiberglass there is no such thing as fiberglass panels, a more accurate description is " Plastic panels re-enforced by fiberglass" Different manufactures use their own formulations Basically you are getting a plastic panel that is re-enforced with fiberglass once cured the plastic panel is very stable. Some of the older 60's Vette do have a problem with the glass fibers separating because of age and the fix is quite simply They re-spray the entire vette with a good quality acrylic sealer and the fibers are re-stabilized for another 10 or 15 years.

.... Work..... a curse of the drinking class.

Second, I stand by my comment about Canada. To say that I am "not a fan" of our... neighbor to the north... would be an understatement. When was the last time you heard of "some great Canadian literature" or ordered out for some "Canadian takeout"??? Pizza Express??? That is the f*ing worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life. It tastes like garbage.

I am entitled to my opinions, just as you are, but spewing ignorant rederick about someone who is BETTER THAN YOU is really stupid. Go f* yourself, you white trash scumbag.

PS. Socialism, oh yeah, THERE'S a great political viewpoint.

Your Pal
Edge-Net, Networks That Matter

"Amerikan"? "Squate"? It's good to see that the Canadian educational system is hard at work... For the record, I'm not Jewish (why that would even be considered a "valid point", I don't know).

And the reason Canada, or liberal Europe for that matter, may have a low opinion of the United States is because we have the money and power to do WHATEVER WE WANT. The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Go back to your trailer park and watch reruns of "the Royal Canadian Air Farce".

...Putting mayonnaise on everything... What are you Canadians thinking??...

As for your "cars", it amuses me to read about all of these different vehichles that you either "have / had" or are "interested in buying". Your'e full of s***. Go play with your Barbie Power Wheels.

And exactly why are you bashing meat, one of the few individuals who is a wealth of knowledge in this ignorant wasteland? "go beat your meat" is getting REALLY old... Come up with something new already.

SO! Here's what we know about Edge - Balls so far...

1) He is inbred
2) "He" is really a 12 year old girl
3) Yep. Trailer trash
4) Lies about the Corvettes he has had
5) Has a bed - wetting problem

??????

"Power to do whatever you want" I think thats a bit much considering.

I dont like these guys either but I have made my point you dont have the power to do ANYTHING YOU WANT!

PS Bush never needed the approval of the UN to fight in Iraq that was a load of bull anyways..

I have the utmost confidence in the National Security Agency, CIA, and the American intelligence community as a whole.

It's difficult to recover after Clinton took BILLIONS of dollars from the military and the intelligence agencies. He had no foresight whatsoever and was content to sit on his ass, watch golf, get oral from unattractive interns and do anything but worry about matters of national security.

The point is, there's a LOT going on behind the scenes that the public has no knowledge of. It's entirely possible that Osama bin Laden is in U.S. custody. I'm not going to spew conspiracy theories here, but again, there is a LOT that most people don't know about.

As for the weapons of mass destruction, I have to agree that all the facts were not there to warrant a war, but MI - 6 (the English equivalent of the CIA) backed us up on that. If the U.S. is to be taken for liars, then the British are just as much. I think war WAS warranted, however, in that someone like Saddam Hussein needed to be removed from power. Such human suffering cannot be allowed to continue. That's why Syria is under the microscope now.

And the final point -

Yes, we CAN do whatever we want. The bottom line is, we have the $$$, so we have the power. Liberal nations attempt to hinder us because of their own selfish reasons - look at France! Free trade with f*ing Iraq!

Well nothing can be said about the weapons as nothing has been found.

What the hell do American care about Iraqies Suffering? Hah thats funny.

I have faith in the CIA to find something too but not weapons, they knew about 911 and did nothing about that.

Blair just wanted to be Bush's pet monkey.

And as for your $$$ isn't looking to great on the exchange rate.

You have power obviously because of the size of your country but look who you gave that power to.... George W Bush.

Still you dont have the power to do EVERYTHING YOU WANT!

The war was not designed to free the people of Iraq from suffering.
