The Fast and the Furious Challenge. Results!

[07CobaltGirl]

A man always pays his debts. So there you go Dom. 9 liters of displacement for a 9 second car. 5 speed manual, because a real racer always rows his own. 4 for the drag strip. Plus another one. Because we know there are times when the race goes past the quarter mile. I hope you like it man.

This is just sexy as hell!! If only we had sidepipes!

Thank you, thank you kindly. I must thank the host, niall, the other competitors, and last but not least, the ultra super fat tyres so fat they were almost wider than they were tall. Somehow crazy to think that it is possible to make a car with manufacturing costs of barely ten dollars to the horse.

I would have loced to know what Don's car would have done had it not run on the wrong fuel!

[nialloftara]

the difference was about .5 seconds, enough to have put him above Xfader and shuffled the 3rd-6th spots around a bit, but first and second were unaffected.

Second place on the cost chart... Not bad

It turns out that going fast in a straight line is a bit harder than just shoving the biggest engine into the body with the widest tyres and pressing the "launch" button!
