Please take note that the Scout in the link is a Hard Top, which adds both weight & rigidity vs the open bed Scout you posted, plus I would bet the yellow scout has weight added over the differential/rear wheels.quote:Originally posted by 8pack:quote:Originally posted by 1Rocketship:
500 HP & NO WEIGHT over the rear wheels!, that Scout might(?) win a Burn-out contest, NOT an autocross competition...Mark
Maybe you should tell that to this guy with an International Scout with the quickest time..

I'm guessing you wouldn't bet you Pantera on a heads up time??? I sure wouldn't and I have more motor than most.
I'm readily aware of the shortcomings of my Pantera, thus I'd be a FOOL to challenge the Scout.
I have 3 dedicated autocross/track cars, a 1967 Datsun Roadster, a 1975 Fiat 124 Spyder & a 1975 Alfa Romeo Spyder. All having Olds/Buick 215 all aluminum V8s mated to Tremec 5 speeds.
Very Capable performers & relatively low cost to maintain & operate, PLUS if I get T-Boned entering a turn, My ego & wallet don't hurt so bad winching the car back on the trailer...Mark
