Wtf

I guess as a show piece, it's neat. Hell the top guys that do the db drags (sound level comp's) can't drive the vehicles they compete with either. One of them I saw has a 10 horse lawnmoter engine running a hydraulic pump to make a full size crewcab pickup move around. The guys comment was that the motor took up space he needed for amps and batteries.

 

There are guys out there that are running blown alcohol hemi's, in a 2100 pound car with a total rear tire width equalling better than 80% of the width of the vehicle. It gets less than 10 MPG, remembering that alcohol is 5 buck a gallon, has a blower throught the hood. And other than driving on sunny, dry, warm days, it sits in a tempature controlled garage most likely. So what's the real difference? Neither is all that useful. It's just what we choose to build.

 

That's the ONLY thing that the ricers have on any of this.... if nothing else at least their stickered, big winged, fart can carrying shit boxes will go down the road in a rain storm and not run off in the ditch at the hit of the throttle. (they do, but it's the fault of the ass hat driver, not the overpoweredness of the car)
