I don't think anyone is in any position to rag on this vehicle, 1,200hp on pump gas.....shall i say it again? That's right.....that's roughly 800hp more than most of your cars. (-100 or +100 or so for those who are fortunate) Exactly....unless someone in here is on a race team i believe that vehicle would own us all last time i checked "red-necks" don't put on gawdy body kits.....they start with an RIC and end with ERS....just a hit.

Wipe your eyes and recognize an amazing vehicle.

I PM'ed John B, hopefully he will chime in...
This is Steve Kamas's old car. And yes, I spent a little while trying to tune it because the guy that set it up for him had it running pig rich at about 10:1 A/F. I leaned it out a bit to try and get some better power numbers but as I recall it had high RPM problems (severe valve float) and we never got any power numbers above about 5000 RPM. I'd have to go back and look but the HP & Torque numbers never exceeded 800 Rear Wheel on the chassis dyno.

Thanks John. I couldnt remember the guys name. And, to prove my point, did he not sell the car because he couldnt drive it comfortably? I saw another member recalled it as well, but if you know, it would help.

Also, I emailed the video to be hosted, hopefully he will put it up soon.

I think the car is butt ugly.Twin blowers and 800 rwhp = weak.The only thing I like on the car is the wheels,the rest is hillbilly IMO.

For real. I never liked C3 Vette's. Twin blowers is a very original idea though.

Original idea? I would have to say NO to that. Rick Dobbertin did it to 2 cars, back in the mid 80's. A unique concept, yes...but original, no.

That looks photoshopped almost. I don't see the point of two blowers. It's a cool concept, but one can do the exact same thing. You don't see top fuelers running two blowers.

Very cool show piece though.

I think it's pretty funny when people start knocking the looks of 800-1100 hp car. Give me a break, when you're makin that much power, you can look however you want!

1100hp isn't much these days. My BONE STOCK motor will hold that.

I'll knock the "looks" of a car that has 5000hp or 5hp. If it's ugly, it's ugly.
Remember. Not all chicks that have big **** are good looking.

That **** looks like it would have been in the B-Rate version of Smokey and The Bandit.

Not everyone has $50,000 to **** away on their car. If i did i'd have Sonny's Racing N/A 762ci 1,150 hp engine in my car for ***** and giggles. But u know what? it costs 53 grand.

Not all chicks with big **** are hot but if my ugly big tittied woman beats up your hot big tittied woman that makes the victory that much better.
