Default Race Car - High RWHP 3.0L!

Well Joe (defastest), it looks like there is a pretty fast race car in town. He's got alot of you guys beat. Sweet race car and fast too. I've seen it before. Maybe I should look into this one as a spare and get back into racing?

Well for now, I'll have to settle for the scooter that Luis sold me, you know, the one of me with the beer gut haning out while I'm peddling down the road?

Seeing as how that's not for sale by Kokeln, and last I checked, they owned the car. I call SCAM.

Dude they tried to sell it once before (Kokeln), the ad had about 8 billion picutres, specs etc. If they were going to try to sell it again - it would look more professional and not be on Ebay. They tend to stick to racer sites that specialize in 930 RSRs 914-6 racers etc. From talking to them about that front bumper - this is their pride and joy.

That car would belong to Dwain Dement of Vision Motorsports.

Don't even think of bashing it. It's in a different league. There are race cars, and then there are professional race cars.


However, the HP department is a little lacking for what it is considering that the 2.6L John Milledge race engine puts out 620Hp at the crank in race trim.

I think that one is shamoo? Or was it Orca? I always got them confused.

In any case, it's a good deal at that price.

For some reason "Flipper" comes to mind, wasn't that the name. Not sure how many similar cars are out there. I do know the Vision car exchanged hand few months back..

The peddling should help out with that beer gut a bit.

I think you're correct. it's been a while since I've seen those cars.

I can't stay up with their naming convention.

That car's been around for years. Before I built mine. TonyG is right, it was Dwain Dement's car of Vision Motorsports. Fast as hell. In no way street legal so I'm cool with my air conditioning and full interior. The wheels are different but last time I saw the car it was for sale and asking $60 grand. Looks the same. No details on any improvements. Who ever owns that car is a few fries short of a Happy Meal if you ask me. And you guys think I ask too much for my car. Don't feel so bad anymore...
