 I think I would want a bit more of a cage around me with that type of power.

I remember that car for sale a while ago, I think on PH and a lot less than it is now!
That one of Duncan Cowpers was up for £25K IIRC.
Or maybe I was in dreamland at the time!

All you doubters - have a look at this video clip 
A 10.01 quarter mile @ 149mph aint too shabby, even if it did get mullered by the Skyline. I suspect the details in the advert (link above) are
correct and also quite modest......
Great car.

Is that the Metric Tonne or the Imperial Ton?
Imperial Ton = 907kg
ATEOTD - does it really matter? It's made for a strip not a track... probably handles like a Tug on the Track!

thats not a Imperal Ton - thats an american 'short' ton (or 2000 lbs)
1 Ton = 1016 kg (imperial)
or 20 CWT (hundred weight)
or 160 Stone
or 2240 lbs
as opposed to a tonne = 1000kg (metric)

How the hell you drive it?? Remote Control??
Factor in 80 kg driver and power to weight comes to a more reasonable figure....
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

That engine is dying for a proper mid engined layout, no way of getting that sort of power down without all your weight over the driven wheels!

Typical - you look at some website and what happens - the information is wrong - oh well...
Trust the Americans to "half-cock" decimalise an imperial system and make it more complicated.
Sorry
