Helmets are required too.

Duhhhhhhh......too easy.

The hard part is learning how to drive it.

Learning to fly the Apache with only my right eye was hard too. I did it though.

What is the projected power output of that project motor, Duke?
How much does the car weigh?

You a funny man!

Car weighs 2500 +/-, it has not been on a scale yet but that is the excepted base line for them. The heads alone on this engine will reduce the engine weight by 70 lbs.

HP, should be at least 400 crank. Those numbers have easily been exceeded with the parts I am using. Dyno will tell.

That's going to be pretty quick! That E30 is going to need to crank out quite a bit to keep up. Looks like it'll be an interesting race. Any prize for the winner?

Sounds like someone doesn't know my reputation!

Boost it till it blows!

Nothing against your reputation, just going by the weights and horsepower. The E30 convertible will weigh more than the Tiger, so it will have to produce more power.

Evidence suggests that this is possible, but will require more than a little boost on your part. Sounds like you have been down that road, though.

I will continue to play clever tricks on the Motronic.

Wins what? Nothing. He just wins. That and a nickel will buy him a cup of coffee at Wall Drug.

What was this thread about again?
