Scary speeds. I heard Phil Blurton's Maverick R hit 122mph at the Vegas to Reno race.
Injectors for sure they are doing
That is an expensive road to travel with no engine warranty. I would wait and see how the motor holds up to the Speed Key as that 91 tune in the video is putting out the same hp.
They are getting 300hp out of that motor on 91 assuming drive train loss is 25%. That is a lot of ask on 91 and expecting it to be reliable.
Video explained a few more things. Interesting to see how that pink Speed car does. I believe that was the car in one of their earlier videos that had motor issues on their test track.
I have 1100 miles on my canned ham still on the original belt. I do carry a spare OEM one!
Remember that it caught fire and the Speed branded fire extinguisher did not work. Luckily his dad had one in his Polaris and put it out. I bet he wishes it had just burned down at this point.
Dave and I picked up last year from SSSS, we are both low number cars.
OE Can Am Belt lasted 1500 miles, all sand. I just replace it every 1000 now. Old one gets zip tied to the last old one under the passenger seat (just on one side, not pinched). I've given more belts away than replaced in the dunes (1).I have 1100 miles on my canned ham still on the original belt. I do carry a spare OEM one!
I gotta say that I love the fit and finish on the Speed cars. I do hope they figure out all the bugs.
Takes huge Balls to come out with something new...although the New Speed is not so new technology-wise.
We'll see..
This could just be the Cadillac Margarita I had a lunch talking though!
LMAO!!!
I think you're missing what almost all the so-called haters have in common. They don't like supporting or giving a pass to companies that lie, cheat, and steal as a business model.
While I agree Speed has been less then honest with timelines. How or what have they cheated? And what have they stole? Those are some very strong accusations, which if founded are legit. But to just say them without merit is pretty unfair too.
When you say “them” I assume you’re talking about both Robby & Todd? What about his or their “entire history of business” causes you to not support the brand? And do you really think they are getting a pass? I kinda feel it’s the opposite, because they are who they are more scrutiny has been put on them since day one.
Lie, cheat, and steal is an old saying, meaning they will do anything to get what they want. It's another name for lack of integrity. I could come up with several things that I feel are cheating and stealing, but it would be an opinion. I don't think it's an opinion to say some of his patents and going after other builders for 1980s technology might be cheating and stealing.
