Howdy, Richard, There's nothing like first hand testimony from someone with experience.
I didn't have much faith in the article; since, as a grease monkey, I used to balance tires. T'ain't no way those puppys could spin that fast and keep your teeth in place . . . dentures or real! Terry On 7/26/06, RC Macaulay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Howdy Terry, The link refers to Tesla's 1931 Pierce -Arrow touring car supposedly "rigged" up to run on a "black box" sitting on the front seat and caapable of 90 MPH speed. Take it froma guy that drove his first car in 1936. Nobody drove an auto 90 MPH in those days except race drivers with specially equipped motors and gearing. Reference was made the motor was capable of 1800 RPM. That dead giveaway proved the whole episode was a figment of someones imagination. 1800RPM with transmission and gearing in a 1931 Pierce-Arrow would give you speeds of approx 45-50 MPH maximum. .. The Tesla cult is alive and well... All Baloney.
