I think 'hanging on' may be more of one though

loads o' space you could fit a third one in there.

It would be like tractor pulling.

Theres 2 engines, and both run, but only the back one drives the wheels

Are those cross-ply tyres?? Would be a might skittish i recon

Anyway - he won't be taken for exceeding the Db readings - he'll break the meter before they can get a measurement with those exhausts..

Interesting question - do you link up the motors at 90 deg, 180 deg or 360 degree or at what rotation.

Perfect 50/50 weight distribution with an average sized American in the driver's seat. Should handle well.


ReMan - 23/3/10 at 10:50 PM

Well I 'd drive it if it was given to me


Rod Ends - 23/3/10 at 11:02 PM

One at each end

Thats so he can break traction and smoke the tyres for effect

Nice car, but not my cup of tea.

Downton tuned 1071 Cooper S engine would be about that each. Still not a lot by modern standards I suppose.
