Have a feeling you guys are gonna get some new orders.

Does he mention in the video that his engine began life as an LSJ? Methinks yes.

When idling, our LSJ engine sounds pretty much like the one in the video. That is, like an old tractor.

Get partway into the throttle and it starts roaring (& whining) like some unnatural thing out of the Gates of Hell. At which time, it's putting you back in your seat hard and scaring the crap out of you. Wondering if I'll ever have the guts to mash that accelerator all the way down ...

Yeah that is some great exposure. Awesome video too, especially once they show the drag. 10.8 quarter mile ain't no joke.

Have they hit chassis 200 yet?

And that 10.8 was with a bad start. Still pulled hard, and put down a great time.

I don't think so but they are close. Jim is building an auto turbo and his chassis is 156 and that was back in September.

 

[Ross]

180ish now.

Another interesting comment made by Justin Reed on the video:

The axles and the transmission he's running are stock-Cobalt items.

Justin’s car is one bad ride!!! ...good exposure for DF and showing the ability of the car to handle horsepower.

Probably will never have that much power in mine, but will creep around the 400 Hp in the not too distant future...fun stuff!

I would love for Cleetus McFarland to get ahold of one.

Only problem there is it's missing 4 cylinders haha.

I'd rather see Rob Dahm rotary swap a Goblin. Would be a great match, super high revs and super light weight.

Anyone know the approximate lead time from a recently purchased kit? I was planning to order about 2 months before receipt of my work bonus in February but I might need to push that up now with this exposure!
Happy for the DF guys, though.

As long at they don't ship him the kit via UPS...

I put down the deposit on my kit in early September, and I should be receiving it in about a week. So it's currently looking like about 8 weeks' lead time, but there's nothing special about my kit (standard length, city/open, normal entry frame).

 

[OptimizePrime]

Deposit paid 8/21 ...getting mine delivered mid Nov ( ~3Mo ). No powdercoat, extended, city, normal

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly could go for a 4 month wait, then I could get in line with the deposit now! ha. Thanks guys.

If you are planning to powder coat it may be 4 months. My deposit was 8/1 and picking up 11/9.

That's the best part. I'd love them to turn it into a track/drift car
