Sorry, still no time to write a proper post. I believe the car should do mid/high 140s, but we had a few problems. 3.55 gears throughout, and I think those are perfect. It was not power limited at 136, but REV limited (faulty) and still pulling hard up to that point. Lou |

Looks like Hot Rod Mag really liked Bob's car. There are 3 pics in this collection, as many as any other car out there, I believe. http://blogs.hotrod.com/the-fastest-wee ... z2cWOk8NgF There is also a turbo Slant 6 Dodge pickup ('37 or so) that we saw at the car show. Pic 81 in that collection. Had my turbo Slant Dart next to it for a while before they kicked me out for being double parked... Congrats to Bob again! Lou |

I would think a lot of folks would want to hear about this little 170 engine! |

Watching the show a couple of days back when Bob and his car were featured. Kept my eyes peeled but no sign of Lou. Got it on the PVR |

Very cool! I am not as handsome or talkative as Bob. Glad that showed up. I saw the pre-release version on the web and it looked nice. We are scheming and Bob is building for a 2014 Speed Week appearance. Anyone want to join us?? PM me if so... Lou |
