For as light as the bricklin is, I can imagin that a nearly 500hp engine
in it would produce near flight characteristics. On a drag strip I'm sure
it would be fun to ride. (considering that there wouldn't be much real
driveing with that much power :) Hmm, this is really bad, I'm starting to
get ideas that I know I can't afford. IRP (indy race park) is only a few
miles from my house, two of my Bro's-in-law either work or race there.. I
could get use of the track..... <evil grin>
