Banks had a turbo truck he would drive to bonneville with a trailer behind it, make some crazy high speed run, then hook the trailer back up and drive it home.



was far too, a few thousand miles.




Thats the one I was thinking of. Was it a dakota? Or a 1500 ram?

that is sick vosko that is even better lb:hp than the lambo LMFAO ! ! !



And you guys are right but I bet you you will have alot more fun whipping *** in an RX-7 than in a GTR I am going to love the day i roll up to a GTR and hand it its *** in my 86 im just going to laugh and laugh.



Quick question the GTR is supposed to have a top speed of 193 what besides gearing, drag, hp will limit a cars top speed? like vosko's car has a better hp:lb what would keep it from going up to lambo speed?

anything above 175mph gets iffy on a street car

dakota, I think they called it sidewinder or some ****



acceleration is nice and a quick blast to speed, but to drive 175mph on a road is ******* retarded and irresponsible
