There is just no way to get 400hp to hookup with one drive wheel, even with a slick on it.. I could beat them in my $1900 truck light-to-light all day..

The traction control would be working overtime if you floored it.
With most traction control, it controls how much throttle it gets; so you could floor it, but it wouldn't sit and smoke the tire unless you turned the TC off.

No TC here.
or ABS, A/C, PW, ABC, AWD, ECM, OBD, EGR, EFI, ESP, SRS, GPS, SRS, or MAF....

You have SRS listed twice. :doh:

And I think he probably has an EGR in it. :doh::doh:

But those little S10 Blazer 2doors were so easy to drop a V8 into; and they would just scream after that.
All the way up till you either A) ran off the road and flipped it, or B) hit something solid because it wouldn't steer (which is how they usually ended up).

:violin: :angel: or :crutch: or :flame:

Let's just say I have kids and somewhere mid sentence I had to deal with them, anyway no, no EGR here, and as far as a V8, I have no idea what you are talking about?

Next will be the three wheel drive Slingshot - and maybe a roof?
I think they'll wait until the Elio appears before they do a roof on it; they want to see how the market is really going to accept it.
With the resources and money Polaris has; it wouldn't take very long to retool the body.
