I think this is a small 6 but just make bigger retractable skid plates.

I like it. The cheapest thing to run at Bonneville is a bike.

You can put a sidecar on it and you and jalopy can cruise around in the pits. \:D

Maybe we could run it on margaritas. My engine is almost twice as big as the Plymouth so we could try for 600 mph. I wonder if they ever actually ran it and how fast it went.

It did 180 MPH in second gear and then threw a rod so the potential was there even if the courage wasn't ..

Go in any bar in the country where there are more than 2 motorcycles parked in front and eventually you will hear 200+ mph thrown around like they really understood what 200 mph is. 180 on that monster with a loose rod looking for the exit would be enough to make most question their commitment.
