Lol after reading about Bill's car and a bunch more, and getting my first cars slant back for free randomly I just feel like its right to put something together on the side. Even though I dont even have a car for it right now.. I still really want to build a slant.

Show them (or send them) this video and ask them how many of their cars will outrun it.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QzUfV8iTpQ"]Turbo Slant Six 10.74 @ 127 mph 7-19-10 - YouTube[/ame]

Then ask them if thery still think it's a dumb idea...

FORGET about our car; it's an unknown quantity.

THIS little turbo slant six '66 belongs to FABO member Ryan Peterson and is one of two cars (Tom Wolfe's '71 Dart is the other) that are the whole reason Freddie and I spent the last 4 years trying to put something together that will run something like this.

When the good weather gets here, we'lll see if we did our homework.... Our car is a bald-faced mechanical copy of Ryan's in most respects. We can only hope that it runs within a second of his car... Not that easy!!!

PS Ryan's car has a 727 in it.... worth an easy two tenths...
