1000 horsepower all wheel drive first test!
Remember this? It runs! Here's 2 videos from the drag strip-

1/8 Mile Run

It managed to do 96 mph in 7.65 seconds. The 60 foot time was 1.87. We're hoping for high 11 second 1/4 mile times at about 115 mph. I have to put in a roll bar, a firewall and also make the back window open and close then it will be pretty much complete

Saw a interview with Jay Leno. He has a jet powered bike. The Y2K. He was talking about melting peoples bumper bars.

Send em over! I volunteer over at the fort once in a while. Anything for the troops!

I worked my *** off on this thing. To be honest with all of you, I wan't sure if it would even work. I'm so f'n happy right now I just want to burn as much fuel as possible anywhere I can get away with it. We're planning a little midnight ride down I-20 soon. I just need someone to follow (not too closely) with the video camera.

lol - that's a bit like saying "my car won't start" why is this?

There's a ton of reasons that it could be. Need more info to go any further.

hmmmm... maybe the computer realized it had to compete with a jet engine?

Jet Engine: *****BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM*******
Carputer: "Dude.... f**k this s**t."

Not enough power? Is the car shaking too much? I have no idea...
