challenge cars that can double (with safety equipment) as lemons cars... gotta be a money maker! jeff, we'll need you to find us some K cars on the cheap
- BLINGMW - 12-11-2008
heh... I'm betting there's plenty of other big blower fans we could find that would do the job

I don't know anyone here who's got an engineering background and 3000+ man hours to put into a car...
Plus, all the money goes to charity, which I'm sure helps the total.
- BLINGMW - 12-11-2008
psssh whatever. It could go to the Human Fund!

Nice car, but automatic?

Well Feersty, you have to think about the purpose they built the car for. It's for Autocross and Drag Racing, and they had to build it for 2 grand. When was the last time you priced a manual trans C4? If you run across one for 2 grand you should buy it.
On the other hand, automatics are well established in drag racing, and with 400 ft-lbs of torque and a goddamn turbine sucking the car to the ground, they probably could have just direct driven the wheels and did OK.

I mean... I'll do "2 Dudes, 1 Hat" if it happens.

I'd have to talk to the roommates... but IF you donkeys really want to give it a shot, i'll offer up space at the house... and tools...
we'll have some futons and stuff for people to crash on. its not set up yet... PM your emails if you are interested (gmail prefered) and we'll get something going... we have to get the chasis/motor arguing over with.
I know its Oakton and not JMU... but the students would have a place to crash if they "wanted" to.

McFail with cheese son. We would need a RUNNER for sure! Keeping the damn thing here at the dealership would make the most sense.

Yeah, because that's so close to everyone!

Oakton is just outside the beltway with countless parts stores around... and dealerships... and car people... plus we cant sleep at the dealership
