Giving up on Power Race, and going SET?

With Lugnut's car we could cross the country in a matter of hours :-).

Yeah...I see sort of an 'Audiophile Cannonball Run' concept shaping up here...we blitz around the country in stages (trying not to get pulled), with members' houses as individual leg destinations, where we all stop for competitive auditioning of our systems' sound for bonus points, before going out to eat every night...

Talk about a 'power race'... :-)

Zaikesman, I love the way you think!

Well, we'll see about the way I think - I've finally got my initial reply from Mr. De Lima, and am proposing to engage in a limited dialog with him about his theory. More later...

Albert,
I don't have a clue how somebody can put together a car of that wieght. I know it can be done but I can't do it. Get this, I started out with a car that already had a V8 and weighed 2850 lbs. So, it's got aluminum heads, intake, radiator, fuel cell and wheels. The interior only has two racing seats and the door panels are aluminum although they are also powder coated. It even has a fiberglass hood. So, it weighs 3185 lbs. after all that. For everything I did to lighten it up I had to do two things which made it heavier. Such is the price I paid to make it rigid and safe. I envy that light car. Doesn't take a lot of motor to make 1650 go fast and that's cool. Sounds like Tom's Holy Grail/Lowther combo.
