Cars, Man
Probably. Four years is a relative eternity when it comes to auto performance. But, at the risk of starting another debate, both of those cars will probably turn out to perform believably better than the CTS-V, but they each will cost twice as much as it. And neither will be available as a coupe... -

As I mentioned above, for a time the CTS-V was the fastest production sedan around the Nurburgring's Nordschleife. So it's got some pretty legitimate performance credibility. The Cadillac has all the factors you mentioned in spades. And I don't want it to be construed that I'm indicating that... -

Surprise: CTS-V Nordschleife time: 7:59.32 Audi S6 Nordschleife time: ??? That 7:59 made the Cadillac the fastest production sedan around that track (faster than any other sedan, including the Audi) until it was dethroned by the Porsche Panamera Turbo S, which is still not the Audi S6... -

CTS-V: 556hp S6: 420hp Not really comparable. A lot closer to "the same performance" as the CTS-V would be an AWD Charger R/T ($33k-$39k) with an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger kit (call it $9k after professional installation). Same size, more powerful, at least $23k in your pocket. But you... -
Cut-off tool
All in the pursuit of better hot hardness while maintaining acceptable thermal and mechanical shock resilience. With PCD inserts and specially designed and engineered processes, cutting speeds of thousands of sfm are attainable.- LukeA

USPS Tracking Numbers
USPS tracking numbers are useless. Once I ordered something from a different country and that postal service's website and the USPS website each told me that the other service had my package for more than a week. -

Wax as a potting material?
Liquid wax is less dense than solid wax, so the same mass of liquid wax is going to be volumetrically bigger than the same mass of solid wax. If you want to drive an XM-L or any other power LED for any period of time more than just a flash you are going to need something to remove the heat from...- LukeA

Wax as a potting material?
Do you mean a potting material or a heatsink? As a potting material over driver electronics it would be ineffective due to melting. As a phase-change material in a heatsink it might be effective if there is zero convection and if mass is a concern (like something being sent to space). Conducting...- LukeA

long life pencil for cheap people
Why? Get a Wacom tablet and use Skim, man. The time for paper business documents has truly passed. I hand write all over pdfs in full color without paper every day. -

The 392 is essentially already in the SRT8, unless I'm mistaken. 392ci is 6.4L. Of course, the headers and heads and stuff may be different. I haven't looked that up. If by "Taurus" you mean "Falcon", then heck yes. They actually already sell the Falcon with a supercharged 5.0. JUST PUT THE...
