If it has an engine and you think it's cool...

Yeah baby!
What's interesting about the Starcraft is that it doesn't actually stall in the traditional sense but rather 'mushes' and then recovers. The European Paggio has similar properties
nothing real big today..just thought about this, it's gottan engine...

This would be fun.
My dad had one of those, when the fiberglass kits were really big back in the seventies/early eighties. You never have as much fun as you do in a roadster. His didn't have the blower, but here's a funny story about about a friend of his who did...
Some young punk was giving him crap about the car, saying it looked stupid and couldn't be all that fast. So finally this guy decides to give the kid a ride in it, and the hop on the interstate and proceed to get up to about 90 before the belt on the blower snaps. If you've heard a blower whine before, you know what it's like, but having the belt go was even worse. Needless to say, this kid went about white as a sheet, and he turns and says, "You'd better turn around and bring me back." My dad's friend asks why, and he give this reply - "Because I just $h!t my pants."
My truck....
that pulls my toy....700hp, 1200 pounds
What gear ratio do you run in that thing?
I would ASSume it would depend on the track or even the track conditions. Cool ride Tim!! I love watching the sprint cars, midgets or anything on dirt. I spent a lot of time at Syracuse and Middletown when I lived in NY.
My everyday drive: 1983 Datsun 280ZX Turbo. i've owned it since 1990 (20 years) and it has 126K miles.
In the sprint car I am assuming...depends on the track. It has a quick change rear end, so 520ish for the bigger half miles, and up to 700 on the 1/4 mile bullrings.
We need to start a TB BWM owners thread!!Those are my favorite of all the BMW factory wheels.
I had a nice e46 323i sedan...sold it to get a Nova, then sold that to buy a house.
I already posted the Blackbird a few pages back, so a huge +1 there.
I think it's a shame that it's not used anymore, especially as I think that the U2 is still flying. Kind of seems like a step backwards. Watching James May's On the Edge of Space really made me want to ride a Blackbird, the same view but going +Mach3
I quite like the U-2:
As well as U2:
