>Having owned a Solo FV I can say that when you buy one you know you are buying 1938 design (VW parts) and you live with it.
Bill, As I said to Bob, let's see the dyno sheets :-). If your buddy or Bob can't produce them, it's only so much rhetoric and bravado :-). I think I'd put more faith in the information garnered from a professional engine builder over unsubstantiated claims.

A solo buddy of mine claims 128hp on his vee and has had no grenading in 2 years of solo. I for one have no problem believing him or the claim of 125hp for Mr. McDonald. Bill Schmidt 88 RD Kawi ( I claim 66 hp ;( >Also having been told that John McDonalds car, before he bought it, was putting out 125hp, Every professional VW engine builder that we had talked to in the past about updating the 1600 engine would laugh at that figure for a currently legal 1600 engine in F Mod. Is there an outside chance that HP figure would be available, yes it is possible, but it would be nothing more then a grenade that would last a few minutes of run time and then explode in a crowd pleasing display :-). Bottom line Bob, somebody told you MacDonald's car was making that much HP. Without some dyno sheets to back that up, it's only good bench racing talk :-). ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
