Makes you appreciate how far everything has come. 700hp and 10 second passes are the norm nowadays but somehow this is more interesting to me.

Should be leaving the line on the upstroke of the flag. That's how I always saw it done. Man, I'm old! 9:11 Was really wanting to see that V12 run.

Excellent stuff.

Good clean fun without the added danger of going 110+ but also the danger of not having abs nor traction control. Love it.

Reminds me of my 1950 Plymouth with a flat head 6. Cracked a piston skirt in that going flat out.

I'll be there for 2018 in three weeks.

Is it just me, or is pushing 50 horsepower to its limit way more fun than half throttle at a thousand?

@adamgallahan6747 3 жыл бұрын

You are correct and you’re definitely not the first person I’ve heard say that either. I have a 1981 Datsun 200 SX that weighs 2600 pounds with the stock inline four 2 litter z20e engine that makes 124 ft lbs of torque and only 100 hp, and keep in mind that’s to the crank not even to the wheels and that’s when the engine is new. Let me tell you though it’s quite fun to floor it and with it being straight piped it sounds so loud and so good! With the five speed manual transmission and being rwd, it’s still quite fun going 0 to 60 in 10 seconds. hahah!

Going back farther to the board track racing for motorcycles is more interesting, and more dangerous. There are a few good videos from back in the day.

That's awesome to watch and I'd bet it's fun as hell to do too

Can some of those flatheads run 100mph?

@akallio9000 3 жыл бұрын

IIRC, there were flatheads running 130+ on the salt lakes back in the day. Not set up with tall gearing for acceleration of course.

I have a 8 sec rat rod truck and a 7 sec Camaro. And my supercharged 235 inline 6. 50 chevy business coupe with all the old school Mcgurk pistons 30 over.. A berry's cam. Electronic ignition. Clifford true headers and a Clifford 4 barrel intake witch was modified to fit A weiand 142 supercharger. And a 650 Holly. Is way more fun to drive! All street legal btw.....

There’s diminishing returns on horsepower. Eventually it gets to a point where it’s all the same. You can only go so fast on the street. I’d rather a car be fun and reliable than fast. I’ve had fast Kawasaki’s that spent more time under the wrench than on the road.
