I've seen this car on the net before & read the article - I like it, wish there was more about it. Note the car number-911 !! Is it yours ? Would like to know what the rear tires are.

Hey I was just curious?
How does this car drive with a quick change? Driving a quad is a little more changleging when trying to make a turn. Would you put a little softer shocks on the car to make the turns a little easier....ie. as the car rolls to the outside of turns it will turn the car a little better?
I figure with a 50 gallon tank and 10 miles per gallon you could go 500 miles.
What is the longest trip have you made with this car? I assume most trips would be 20 miles or less round trip?
Has this car ever been on the freeway? How would it drive on the freeway? Scary I bet...lol, only because it may have a short wheel base and be kind of jiettery..ie...want to make quick turns so it would be hard to keep it straight goin' 50-75 miles per hour on the freeway. Still a neat car though.

I put a gps unit in the car for a speedometer ( necessary because of oversize tires & switching change gears, has large display, works perfectly). If you saw the other youtube videos of the car (youtube under " street legal sprint car " then go to "SignmanLip2's channel" ) we had the car on a half mile paved track and had no trouble at 85mph ( not that fast in the videos, obviously! )We thought the car would be scuffing the tires whenever turning, but it works fine, you can see in the videos that it turns ok. Right now it only has an 11 gallon tank, so don't really know the range. Let me know if you find the other videos that we posted on youtube.

A guy in Fargo,ND has had one for at least a dozen years or more. Don't think it has a front or top wing on it though. Also, there was a Kinser Quaker State emerald green (all green) one for sale in NSSN a year ago. Forget how much they wanted for it. That all green car is best looking car Steve Kinser ever drove IMHO. I've got two of the 1/18ths. That's how much I like the look of that car.
