I wonder what the 0-60 time is on that.
Maybe it is like they said on the Top Gear show about the Reliant Robin. "...and zero to sixty............really wasn't possible."

Hopefully I can get a chance to find out who owns it and talk to them and let them know about this forum. I'm 99% certain that it is P-30 chassis based.

Seriously leave that guy a note! I would love to hear weight, 0-60, and mpg.
Plus of course if he is cruising the country, he could probably use some help from time to time on the road.

I think it is like mach and measured in calendar units.
Not to mention 'courtesy parking' for those in the forum that have extra space in the driveway.

What T F, over
Does it even have a 'gas pedal' or just an on/off valve?

Could he even get on an interstate and not cause a rolling road block? I guess he could travel all non interstate. There is that option on mapquest for routes.

That part is easy. Turn up the fuel screw a bit, the fog will act like a smoke screen, and traffic will slow to a crawl. By the time the soot clears, the rig is long gone

Idk. I bet a turned up pump with some good injectors, and an under/overdrive unit, it would not be that bad.
Keep in mind also the fuel savings compared to anything else available at the time.
I have a friend with a 6.2 turbo400 hmmwv- full time 4wd, 37x12.50x16.5 mud tires that with all his crap on it, weighs in at 17,000#. Still pulls 14.5 mpg. Yes it is slow, but not a lot slower than my 6.5 n/a hummer was weighing around 6,000# when I first got it.

And I can remember bombing down I-15 from the NTC to Barstow in a 6.2 N/A 4-door HMMWV with traffic at 80+ MPH, and boy was that canvas flapping LOUD!

HAHA, yeah getting rid of the soft top sure made mine quieter. The different seats and sound deadining in hummers make it a different rig. Guys that own both constantly comment how different it is to drive the two.
