Default #2541 is complete

Ruckus is finally home. Built by Vintage Motorsports, the car is powered by a Stage 2 Godzilla, making 700hp. I can't say enough about the build quality of this car. As they say, "It's Unreal"! And the power....well, I am still attempting to get comfortable with that.

Just the bookie in me

Odds you never will be comfortable with the power. 75%

Odds you'll regret 700hp. 50%

It's still awesome looking!

Ha! I think that if I do begin to get overly comfortable with the power, it might be time to sell. I've had many high HP cars; including 3 Vipers. But nothing I've had comes anywhere close to this.

After 3 years I've become comfortable with the power in my Vintage built Backdraft and it makes 543 hp to the wheels. Its quite a bit less horsepower than your monster, but I never thought I'd get use to it... and I did.

You will adjust, just take it slow and learn the car.

Also, those are the best tires you can get for these cars, VERY predictable with traction... dont buy anything else!

I think those are words of wisdom. I'm giving the car total respect. And yes, I have had those tires on my Vipers, and they are traction kings.

So appreciative and happy with my build. It has surpassed all of my expectations. I have failed in my attempt to find a flaw. They simply don't exist. Thanks Jay and Brian.
