    Put her on the dyno today, 451 hp at the rear tires, so somewhere about 540hp at the crank.

    I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.

    What can I say, some are born to ride like the wind, others just sit back and watch.

    Yep, and some sit on the side of the road in their shovette's waiting for AAA to come and pull them out of 1" of soft sand and to bring them another jug of gas to make it to the next gas station...

    450 at the tires, 540 at the crank... seems to be losing a lot somewhere... maybe you should drain all that oil/grease between the two and lighten things up?

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    It actually gets over 30mpg, I was figuring a 20% drivetrain loss, but it is probably more like 15%

    LMAO, don't hate. Just because you don't have a fast car. Silly canuks.
