| 39 | Purpose | The purpose of the BUG is to BEAT UP on some DETROIT MUSCLE and show them a BUG isn't just a HIPPIE car when they see the tail lights. It makes a lot of people upset when a BUG BEATS UP on their ZO6 CORVETTE |
| 40 | Comments | The drive train was
built by PEEK PERFORMANCE in Maryland. I have to give
them props because they are a great machine shop and I
didn't build that part. I did theNITROUS install and the rest of the car. It surprised me with the power it produced and torque. It pulls hard from about 2000 RPM all the way to REDLINE OF 7000 RPMS and with the gearing I have, it LEAPS OFF THE LINE faster than most cars. OH I did install a RLR BOLT IN ROLL CAGE legal for 10sec ET in the1/4 MILE. |
