With the OEM motor hopped up, the car woudl run on the short course
which is 3 miles. Mile 0 - 1 and 1 - 2 are to get to speed and mile2 - 3
is timed. And weight is not an issue generally. when the math is done,
weight remains only in the rolling resistance in the tires at top
speed. The weights are about the same as for the chevy turbo sprint I
have. Wish I had time for it. Maybe....and it is turbocharged....
