Will this get us?
Before or after you plow into the tire wall in Turn 1?

Wow you actually think it would make turn one?!
That'd be a hoot off the launch @ MSR!
None, it won't last 10 laps before catching fire.

Theoretically...
Hell the judges might give it free laps... braking might be an issue though.
Its a Fiero, no laps

I do hope the judges follow this logic... although I doubt our car will even finish... we shall see...
Might have trouble staying under the $50K rule with that one!
I'd say zero....since getting that beast to complete one lap without running out of gas or crashing would be impressive!!

But at the same time... it would dominate in the straights but then the all knowing formula comes into play...
Power
vs
Reliable
vs
Cheap
It's only one of those I think...
Sure it would dominate the straights right up until the scooby-doo van pulled over in fron of you with a closing speed of say 120mph. haha!

Thats what the PARACHUTE is for...duh
hmm... 0. you'd probably have to trailer it back to the pits to refuel after every straight, and that's regardless of it catching fire.

Meh... add a 50 gallon gas tank... that should last a lap right?
that all depends how long you spend idling in the weeds after going 4-off after the first straight 
I don't think I could give that car any laps. Traction might not be so good without the steamroller slicks, though.

Hey Joe, Try backing our car out of the shop without a spotter. There is NO rear visibility except between the seat and Halo and you sit so low...
BTW, all the gears work
