wow, that's the most stripped-down T/A I've ever seen without calling it a pile of parts instead of a T/A Thread Starter

lol, i was thinking a 150 shot on the stock engine and some fat tires, spray off the line and get a wicked wheelstand, until you fall out from the lack of a seat or belts....but yea, if you stayed on, it'd run real nice times, given that the whole thing doesn't just fold and bend over itself
lets see, my car weighs 3050 with a full interior...i reckon thats half the car (assuming the engine weighs around as much as the full interior)....stock engine was maybe 170hp....+150...so 310hp on a 1500lb car...the little online calcs that est et and mph based on weight and hp say that it'd run 9.7@138

You're both right! That would make the coolest overgrown go-cart I've ever seen! Otherwise just tack a roll-cage over the whole thing and call it GOOD! Hehehe
