How fast is it? How much power? Can it do a burnout? I have a friend with a friend who has a Civic that will race you for slips...

Bad *** car man now turbo that golf cart!

LOL! your spot on! usually goes just like this....
"so how much horse power does it make"
I reply - shooting for around 800 to the wheels
"how fast will it go"
I reply - I am shooting for 9s
"No, I mean how fast will it go top end?"
I reply - I don't know I run 1/4 mile so I should see around ~140 at the track
"I figured it would be faster! we had my friends (insert less than 200 hp car here) up to one fitty of the highway the other night ...It was tight....
I reply

LOL here it all the time...

I can't turbo the golf cart it would be too much competition for the Trans Am!! lol

Thanks!

Sounds good! Hate to run across that on the street. Man, I know it's a ways from you but you should try and bring that our way as we got a Big NW Fbody meet at the end of Mar coming in Ft Walton Beach.
