thought you guys would get a kick out of my TA. Don't worry it was a doner car, saving the life of 2 others.

there are no words....except why didn't you part out the drivetrain? and uh...do you still drive it? i would...
Supreme Member
wow, that's the most stripped-down T/A I've ever seen without calling it a pile of parts instead of a T/Ai saved everything but the main body, very badly damaged. I couldn't drive it like this cause the first thing i pulled was the motor.

you should make a Dune Buggy out of it 

Supreme Member
now that i've had more time to think about it...how much do you guesstimate that it weighs? ....nah, i'm just crazy as hell, nm
take it to the strip and pull a dead stock motor 13 second time... LMAO!
Supreme Member
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

Supreme Member
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

You gotta have some fun with it before you take it to the scrapyard though, it would be wrong not to

I don't think it has much more left to tear apart Originally posted by StreetRoc85 350

I guess this proves once and for all that if you go and cut the bar out of your t-tops your car won't instantly fold.
