"Talk about drugs. Driving a car like that, going that fast, it’s like all the drugs at once." - Tommy Byrne

"Now, Pinky, if by any chance you are captured during this mission, remember you are Gunther Heindriksen from Appenzell. You moved to Grindelwald to drive the cog train to Murren. Can you repeat that?" - The Brain

supercharged I6, converted FROM an AWD ix?

I'll have some of whatever he's smoking. smoking smiley

(I'd assume this was a "rally" project, but the quick glance at the cage pics sure makes it seem like he was planning on competing.)

When I can afford a million feet 1.5 inch 11 gauge tubing I'll add a roll cage. Chassis rigidity is more important than horse power at this point. Come to think of it, suspension is more important than horsepower as well. I can't afford the billstien rally struts, but I'll improvise.

STanding between my twincharge system and a reliable 400 rear wheel horsepower

good to see he's got his priorities straight.

Too lazy to dig up cage rules right now, but is this even legal for a new build? I could've sworn RA required 1.75x.095 for a few bars, haven't looked that closely at NASA.

Who knows really what they want. They've cut and pasted some of FIAs rules but randomly pick and choose sections and then they've done their own Mid-West we know better job of interperting what the rules mean---and then send profanity filled threatening emails when their "unique" reading is proven to be in conflict with every other Federation that uses either Roman or Cyrillic alphabet (I can't read Chinese , Japanese, Hindi, Turkish or Finnish--but I can read dimensions).
