beau Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 you are pretty nuts if you think you can hit 90-100 up comp.. the hills not long enough. The Monster Rails with STUGOTS on the wing hits 116 on comp although it has 30" of travel and 1480hp. Oh and that's on GPS not on the speedo.

Oh and that's on GPS not on the speedo. but thats a big difference he can hit the bumps no prob and he said 'old school' car so it prolly has little suspension. i could understand 1480hp i also know a guy that has over 1500hp in his tatum,, but not doing that with a vw motor maybe im wrong i dont know everything but i doesnt sound right to me Edited December 22, 2007 by 90+ PLUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillshooter Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 :gayboy: ok guys i knew my statements would rile everybody up but the moral to the story is the car is for sale and i'd like anybody interested to watch the car run at dumont comp hill to see what its made of. thanks for all the fun chat, see you all there. steve. p.s. i usually hang out with a bunch of busa cars and my wife's car which is that wicked looking black single seat r-1 powered mini rail, if you guys remember the one that went over comp hill at night @ 50 mph last year and we all went over the other side expecting to find a body but what we found was my inexperienced wife laughing with 3 blown tires, and no she is still not allowed to go up at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
