Steve,
People can say whatever they want, but that is one VERY IMPRESSIVE car!
900ft-lb of torque at 3000 rpm? :lolg: That's insane! But you already knew that going in!!

Awsome, Steve! The car looks and sounds so good, you have to finish the minor details now. Great video, btw, even on full screen I can read the speedometer. What's the deal with the DVD? A history of the world, part 2, from Merlin's birth to now? Joe

PS, a little rich for the shakedown cruise is a lot better than a little lean, no holes thru pistons that way.

Re: Merlin Dyno Videos (Merlin522)
:cool: :thumbs: Sounded as though the car cruises with urbane confidence. That throaty engine warbles an offbeat rhythm that rises to a splendid snarl when asked. :thumbs: A few questions, is the the car black or a real dark blue? Where and how can one get the 240mph speedo? Have you sold the vehicle?

Re: Merlin Dyno Videos (Bob Jenkins)
Thanks Everyone!!! I really wanted to reply to everyone personally like I used to but I've been really busy lately. I just wanted to say thank you & to let you know that I will post more videos as soon as we get the cooling thing fixed. Should be next week - weather permitting. Thanks again to Steve for posting those for me!

No problem Steve, I can host the other videos for you too if you'd like whenever you get them as long as the total isn't over 100mb of data. Since I have unlimited bandwith, i'm good to go and I can't wait to see her when she's broken in :D
