    This is groundshakingly cool. Yay! More! Howzabout a smaller Cummins in the back of a Corvair?

    Also, "Ryan Lusk" must be the most Iwegian name I've ever come across.

    Hacking up a C3 - any C3 - isn't really sacrilege. The early ones were crap (so bad Car and Driver sent their test car back early) with good engines, and the later ones were okay, with smog choked engines. Unless he used a ZL1, it's not that rare or special, just sexy. I salute this man of genius.

    These guys suck at dragstrip video. Not a single shot of the timer at the end. C'mon guys, drop the other shoe!

    Subscription only, hell, you can get Farm Show at the newsstand at Tractor Supply Company.

    Man, that's my favorite store. In one place you get the smell of fresh manure, new hydro oil, new tires and feed corn. Hot damn I love being a native midwesterner.

    No E.T.s on the vid, but the 'Farm Show' page from the link claims 7.87 for the 1/8 m, which extrapolates to somewhere in the 12s for the quarter. It should be noted, however, that the same 'Farm Show' article informs us that "Lusk plans to ........boost his power to 55 to 65 hp in the near future", so either 'Farm Show' isn't the end all/be all for news of record, or that motor has an insane hp/torque ratio.

    @pres: Stupidity my friend, is the mother of invention (or in this case innovation?)

    Take for example, the simple porn magazine. An homage to the female figure, now completely rendered obsolete.

    Why you may ask?

    It was hard for men to hide their collection of pornographic paraphernalia from the missus and others while maintaining his status in the family and/or community, much worse to find a quiet place where to *ahem* "read the articles". Many men were emasculated when found by his significant other in the bathroom with a handfull of prell and his nether parts foamy with the look that resembles a deer caught in headlights.

    To fix this, three men created the basis to what we now call the internet for one single purpose...porn.

    Just like three horny gods created the internet to avoid stupidity and ridicule, ron has created this monstrosity to avert women and thus fulfill his ultimate goal.

    Jack it to pixelated chicks.

    You say idiot. I say pioneer.

    @spiegel1: So lemme get this straight, a '68 Vette is a magazine and a Cummins is internet porn?

    Ugh.

    You know, a better platform for this weapons grade insanity would have been an AMC Eagle. I've never been too keen on hacking up '68 Vettes for shits and grins. At least he could have used a late disco-Vette.
