I’m positive the builder was an engineer. It shows all the signs. He had an idea. And because he was an engineer, at no point in time could you say to yourself “no that won’t work-lets try something different.” So a bad idea its just worked out in a weird tangent until it meets the design parameter. The original…

Raising shift points? Raising rev limiter?

There’s no lobbyists selling permission.

Bent pushrod?

Forever. They don’t print that quick. I’m guessing the cam gear is a couple of hours. ( We have one at work. All the boss has made is silly little trinkets.)

Guess I wasn’t the only one to think of this.

Yes. As of 3 years ago. A bad accident with a rally class car where the nav. was almost ejected. (Bad cage design/ seat mount.) But PPIHC decided to limit the number of people at risk by just making all classes driver only.

A guy I know bought the special tools that a Porsche dealership had to buy to be a service center on the Carrera GT. I seem to remember the cost to the dealer was like $140 —THOUSAND!

Don’t get me wrong-I’m not knocking the accomplishments or skills of either driver. Its a matter of what you are trained to be best at. In general, rally skills are a lot closer to what you want for hillclimbing than road racing. Road racers are trained to be “slow in fast out”-smooth-steady over a long run.…

Also one is a rally driver used to being able to take every corner-known or unknown-at a rapid pace. The other is a closed course racer used to learning a few corners and being able to honing them to get them exactly right.

Awesome car-very talented driver. But you can tell hes driving line of sight. 150 turns is a lot to learn in a short time.

You’re right. That thing has “Who framed Roger Rabbit” all over it.

These were better plow trucks than play 4wd’s. The v-8 weighed 750 lbs!. As I read somewheres “ The weight on a big block with the torque of a 6 cylinder.”

The problem is how many overlapping layers of shit you have to remove to get to the wires....

I got to ride in one The best description I could give is—go on Craigslist. Find the best riding mower you can buy for $100. Get it running-dump a quart of oil in the gas tank. (even though its a 4 stroke) For the smoke effect.

A 454 FORD engine with Turbo 400 tranny? I suppose you could stroke a 351 out that far—and adapt a Chevy tranny to it....

I did my share of keeping the number of suitable donor vehicles low-helping to increase the value of the (fewer) survivors. But I had far more fun in them that whoever buys this will.

BINGO!!! It was Qually! Yes-the cam car had momentum-but thats doesn’t mean you own the line. He was racing like it was the last lap.

Puerto rican nuns do spread legs.

If only someone (DUSTY) could venture a mere 1 1/2 hours north, you could have coverage of an awesome hillclimb in Vt.
