Could be. If I recall correctly, there are usually quite a few mechanics working around race cars. I agree it's a lemon, AND a lemon that probably no one knows how to work on, and you have to get parts from Jerusalem and Mars.
I figured it had to be somewhere around that. Thanks for the info.
Actually, these things originally were custom rather than production vehicles anyway. I have no idea who produced the original engines, but there were, and still are, numerous engine factories of various kinds in or near Indianapolis.
I've seen them take the bikes out for a spin before the buyer picks them up, but that's about it. I couldn't imagine anyone actually riding one, other than in a parade. The FDNY motorcycle had gold in the trim that came from gold coins they found in the wreckage of the WTC. Could you imagine being the guy that laid that bike down?
My dad has a Z06 Corvette. He used to work for GM, and he knows the guys on the Corvette racing team.
He brought his car to their shop, where they tweaked it out. They set it up like the actual racer, then went a littl ebeyond that, since he wasn't going to be pounding on it for hours on end. It's his daily driver now. Freakin scary.
Can I get them to tweak my 98 Z28 Camaro? Just adding a supercharger would increase the hp by 148 =]
Ping...someone's a really good salesman.
They used to say, "You pass a Duesenberg only with the permission of it's driver."
