offroadracer Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Different looking...but cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGP Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) Different looking...but cool Im sure when they were building this car, it wasnt about looks. V8 rails are all about performance. Its going to be interesting to see how the new design stands up to the old design Edited October 15, 2007 by ORIGINALPIMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot bob Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 not that i ok'd anything! just ready to deal with everyones opinion i just hope it works well with no break downs! i am tired of r & d work. front steering & brakes still not complete but will be done in a few days. that was alot of time work and money on you i dont blame you at all. i like the car. the rear im not so hot on. but the front and sides are smokin !! and the motor placement should make it corner awsom . a++ engineering effort. i hope it performs to match the all the r&d and time and money you put into it good luck and very good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 This thing should handle awesome. Everything is mounted very low and towards the center of the car...even the gas tank and turbos. I can't wait to see how it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 I still can't believe this car. I got another good look at it tonight. It is coming along really good. I just hope I can arrange to get out to D on the shakedown trip for V rex. I have to work that weekend. Dammit. Maybe I can haul a$$ out straight from work when I get out around noon.

Randog Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah, I can't wait either. Wanna see it run fo schizzzzz. Sound Awesome Ryan. After being told that there ain't no possible way I could even keep up with it or your old car through the dunes in that bench race Halloween weekend, I gotta hand it to ya. Hope it meets your expectations mang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadracer Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Im sure when they were building this car, it wasnt about looks. V8 rails are all about performance. Its going to be interesting to see how the new design stands up to the old design I agree with ya tim ...but having a few fabricators that are friends of mine do both as well , performance with some style to it, I know everyone is different.....but anyways the car is nice I like it.

dunefreak Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 I personally think this car as more style AND performance than any car out there in the dunes. It's unique and stands out from the rest. It will also put a whooping on 99% of the cars as well. Alot of people don't know what these cars can do or what they are capable of.

Crowdog Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Best of luck with the shakedown run Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Well, some good news. It didn't blow up on the dyno today. From what I heard, there was an issue with the intake manfold, but it did pretty damn good considering. I will leave it up to Ryan whether or not he wants to post the numbers up. Hopefully this weekend is still on for the shakedown. I may have my car ready by then for at least a day trip if you go out, Ryan. :porn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
