Kraut cruise missile

Bangkok ladie boys or dudes who cross dress? Knock yourself out, I know what SVTP jerks off to and let's just say there is no hope for us.

All Niche Line stuff is at Dearborn now.

Essex was expanded to handle the extra capacity. This has been planned for awhile.

Seems to me..... That the union should be able to help you find a company. Isn't that what they are supposed to do?

I wish. It's not the weight but the aero. 700whp is good for 200. You need around 1000whp for 250 plus craploads of aero. Even with 1000whp, you wouldn't get over 220mph in an S197 without lots of aero.

They break the classes up by vehicle type (car and truck in one class type, motorcycles for the other) then the classes are divided based on drive type (2wd vs 4wd) and transmission type. Groups can request a custom class though. If they were part of a custom class, then that could explain the...

US Mile rules don't have anything for a street car class, so that is something the owner came up with or a very custom class.

No idea, but at any speed over 200mph depends more with aero than power. That car slips through the air effectively. My hp should be good to 250mph, but the aero of a brick. Anything over 200 will be a struggle. The mile has been the only goal I've been trying to build the car for. Much of it...

Need to pull my wheel sensors so I can hit up the Texas Mile. I'd just worry more about qualifying for the driver classes than actually winning anything. Pretty sure I can hit 200 (180 comes quick but that hard limit is like hitting a wall). You have to qualify at the lower speeds before they...

The one in Spring?

Cypress? I live in Katy. Go to church in Magnolia.

A little boost to this monster...I can't see why it shouldn't purr at 14psi. Right around 1200hp, I'm betting. Iron block, completely forged bottom end. Seems feasible.

This or any other spray can cable lube

Thorium salt reactors make the quest for fusion pretty much irrelevant. If we could only convince the feds to let someone build a full size prototype instead of other countries beating us to the punch because of some silly moratorium.
