Competition Calling out Hasselbach's twin turbo Viper

[justinp20012500]

Hey Keith,



That looks like the superflow your guys up here use???



And they say that it is located in Vegas???

 

[KLockliear]

Similar, but it's not backed up to a wall like that... it backs up to a door.

 

[jetenginedoctor]

No, that's Mustang. Besides the shot with the banner on the wall, the view of the software makes it obvious.

 

[btanner]

need to stay updated so i'll get in

Hate To Say It

GUYS,

It looks like this is never gonna happen

 

[TurboTweaker]

Sounds like a couple of half drunk Minnesotan Rednecks on snowmobiles going across a lake with their 900cc sleds... . doing 120 and hitting an icehouse or a ice heave or something. Is someone bringing the video camera for this... . I wanna see everything on Americas Funnies Cop Videos!

turbo tweeker totaled his 900cc last winter and has developed jealous tendencies... why make comment like that?



somebody's willing to race thier $100k car and is willing to share part of the fun with us! Be a little appreciative of being able to be part of it and have a beer before you ruin it for the rest of us.

 

[LOtero]

whats the latest?

 

[j-miller]

Where's my beer? :-laf

 

[joaker]

The"3 liter" toyota is a tried and true performer, with proven numbers to back it up, the trash talk is good for a laught though, definitely a "jackstand" racer... .

 

[4xquadrod]

I think this is first thread of this size, that caught my interest enough, to read the whole posting.

My eyeballs are burning.

Hey Klocklier: Is Garth still doing the video productions business?Or am I thinking of a different Garth from Vegas?I remember him at a dyno day back in 2001 with a pretty sharp looking excursion. He's totally a cool guy. . Hasselbach quit "hasseling" . . get er done'. . be careful guys. :-{}

 

[KLockliear]

UPDATE: Hasselbach never showed and never called back. Garth and the boys went up to the meeting place this morning with the car ready to go.



Setup a race with a 187rwhp Hayabusa, from 40mph on. The race "course" is from bridge to bridge, 7/10 mile.



Garth beat the 'busa by 2. 5 BUS lengths, and was radared going through the second bridge at 214 MPH! He says the car was still pulling hard in 6th! From the dyno, I know the end of 5th gear (1:1 ratio) is 194mph. No idea where 6th runs out (yeah, I could do the math, but why?), but it would likely pull HARD into the 240-250 range, maybe more, with the right tire.



Cummnzpowr, yes, that is the same guy.

 

[Cooker]

Keith,

Thanks for the update. I was guessing it was not going to happen.

That's some insane speed, I would image to run over 150MPH you have to think about a lot more than just HP, such as aerodynamic downforce, and everything must be balanced perfectly and bolted down. What kind of tires does it run? I would also imagine he gets a fair amount of unwanted attention from the law.

*cracks beer*

Oh Give me a Break... Hasselback hasn't been willing to share. We all knew he wasn't gonna show. Ruin it? What was there to ruin? All talk, no action.



I do have a question for Hasselback..... I believe you said you have a CL65. I'd like to see a picture of the top of the engine. I always get a kick out of the Personally signed engine plate they put on those cars. One man builds each engine start to finish. He then signs it when he is done.

[Lorenz]

This sucks. I can't believe how excited i was, what a let down. I'm a little ashamed i checked for TDR updates so much for the last couple of days, I'm such a looser... Where's my beer?



I motion to remove Hasselbach from the board...

 

[justinp20012500]

Hey wheres my beer.



I had to get off the coach and get me one inbetween commercials of Power Block on spike TV.



Yep, the outcome of this race was very predictable...
