Hey! I seen that car with a T1 in the back of it!

Good to meet you Pete! Hope you made it back ok.

It was great to see Panel, Nigel, Wrench (and family), Jake/Beth and PeteVW. Beth's car is looking great and put down some big numbers. Nigel took to the track and I missed it. Pete, I hope the trip home was smooth and the engine serves you well. I hope the 6 rib works well for Panel too.

[Panelfantastic]

Thanks Dave! Good to see you and Wrench also. The biggest thing the 6 rib and the dyno day will do is getting me motivated to get something aircooled up and going again.
I think my buddy Randy that was with me (ex Cali resident, jst moved back to GA) was most impressed by Beth's car. He loved the look of the whole car and the nasty way the engine sounded. He's so jaded by the sand scene and hanging out with the Lauffers, it takes 500-600hp just to get his attention most times.

It was one great weekend!

Seeing Nigel givin' it hell on the strip was awesome! He was absolutely shaking in his boots after that first run

And spankin' some smack-talkin' California ass on the dyno Saturday was pretty sweet too! I think somebody is having to eat a lot of crow after all the smack talk that went on over at the BKC forum the past few weeks.

Thanks to No H20 and Wrench-n-Ride for all the help getting my car ready for the event. It certainly would NOT have happened without all their help.

I would really like a pic of the finished GL cabrio!
3 posts and no hp numbers of Beth's car?? So, what did it make and at what rpm?

[NO_H2O]

I can't remember what RPM it pulled but I think it made 197 HP and 202 lbft of torque at the wheels.

It put down 195 at the wheels and 206 on torque. It was all at around 5500 rpm.



This is a pic someone took of the car in the show area at Reynolds on Sunday.

Ok Wally...









I didn't get any pics of interior. It's just as bad a$$ as the outside. (I seen enough of the inside during my stay at Jake's that I forgot to take any)

If we have enough maybe i could do our own "street car challenge" all TIV, no TIs allowed :-)

They can have their fun.

[wrenchnride247]

If mine is not done by then... someone please shoot me in the face with a large caliber weapon!!!

Attached is a .pdf of the dyno day results....

How about a German look Vs. Cal look real street challenge - having to drive a road course and go down the track.....

[wrenchnride247]

A GL front end, against a Cal-look (tractor front end) skinny tired, narrowed front end on road course... that would be great.

[massIVe 79 vert]

The "Peanut Special" runs a 135 up front for less rolling resistance in Land Speed Racing...

But the car doesn't have to handle corners and Roger has a full mile to stop after a 130 MPH blast in the standing mile.

Next time out the car should go 145- 149 MPH with a MassIVe upgrade.
