Default For all you guys that can smoke your tires.....

I'm scared that my 8 year old son might bet you. :jester



Future mods: Sneaky pete nos, T-6 turbo, and a big ash wing to hold him down. So far top speed is a little over 30 mph, but he gets there in 1 second.

If he thinks he got smoke, let him see this: http://www.bandagbullet.com/bandagbu...2/Bandag01.mpg

2800 hp and something like 5600 ft lb torque :eek: :eek: :eek: :yesnod:
There are worse videos with him, check out http://www.bandagbullet.com/

Have fun ;)
BTW, wonder if that engine would fit in the vette? :blueangel:

For a brief moment last summer, I planned on installing this 985hp Rolls Royce Nimbus in my Vette. In fact, that was the reason I purchased the car in the first place.

I was considering getting one of those for my 7 1/2 year old daughter this Christmas. My wife talked me out of it. She said to wait a few years!

For the safety guy's, I only let him ride it on the dirt and school track. Both have a little cushion. It does have front and back vented disc brakes. The sucker will stop quick. I've let him drive it on our street, but I'm scared he will not be seen by the neighbors backing out of their driveways.

For the money, these are a great value.

:thumbs: Great to see kids on real toys! I think part of the problem with kids these days is that everyone's so busy protecting them that they don't get the chance to explore themselves. Congrads on being a :cool: dad!
