Hammer and anvil
Butt in all seriousness driving a fatt butted rear slot car is no way near as fun as a light high output H.P. hot rod 911.I used to service a number of RUF 3.4 cars with 374 H.P.The best thing about those cars was the 5 speed gearbox but they were heavy and like a fat girl Rawknees when they walked they jiggled like a soft boiled egg..I drive an 1800 lb.2.8 kitty like Targa that is a little finicky at 374 H.P. and 248 ft. lbs. of Torque.It only runs on VP Green 113 Octane because it is 14.3 to 1 compression.Do the math for power to weight ratio.It has a flat torque curve from 4300 -9100 rpm 0ver 240 ft. lbs.Ti rods & valves help as well but I always have a smile when I stand on it.Not cheap to run but who cares.Oh,it has no roof and only a Lexan windshield.No A/C.It also has a brake upgrade which helps.Other computer just failed or I would show a picture.Go hotrod builds.Ciao Fred
