he could have gained had he been able to modify his ignition timing? (I know I know, another shameless plug for the Zemulator, but I'm pretty excited about it). Nonetheless, this is a great dyno pull and its good to see the VG putting out brutal power. Now if we can just get the cost of turbos, injectors, and forged components down to just under half the going rate, we would rule the world. No one would even test a Z at a stoplight, unless in case they just want to see a fast car. PssssssssssssssssssssccchhhhhhhhPSssssssssssssssscccchhhhhhh... (Only take it to the top of second on the streets, keeps ticket prices manageable... Unless you are going for flee and elude.) I wonder if I can setup the Zemulator to tell you how far away a cop car is.. Perhaps pick up their radio transmissions.. You would know where they are, but they only have an idea of where you are.. Oh, and a heat seeking bazooka out the t-tops (slicktop owners, you'd be fucked here) to take down helicopters and you'd be invincible.. Hell collect all your old engine oil and build a container into the spare tire well and have a good pump and a pipe at the back of the car running the width of it with spray nozzles to deliver oil onto the pavement and just brake late into the corners and watch the Vik's maintain their vector right off the road. A good heavy 1/2" plate at the front of the car a few inches tall that can be lowered to ride the road would be nice to knock the tire puncture strips out of the way if you happen to come across one.. Then retract it once you've cleared it. Good shielding behind the back tires (1/2" 1144 steel plate would work well to deflect/block bullets coming at the tires and good runflat tires would also be a good idea. A glovebox full of pryamidal tire slicing dice would be great to have to toss out the window to get the authorities off your tail. Puncture rods that come out from under the rear bumper about 2" would be nice if the Vik came close to your bumper, you would puncture the radiator and he'd be done in a minute or two. Practicing driving manuvers to avoid the old tailbump-spin technique used by cops would be advantageous. I've give it a lot of thought. When the cruiser approaches to clip your rear quarter panel, you immediately stand on the brakes and steer slightly in the direction away from the side the cruiser it on. This will make him come past you (The Z will outbrake a Vik very easily). While he's standing on his brakes to try and get back behind you, all the weight of that heavy ass VIk will shift to the front, making the rear end light. Simply clip his rear quarter panel and continue to steer to position your Z on the other side of him and your in the clear. That's giving them a taste of their own medicine. :) I'm still working on a high voltage skid device that can be dropped out the back of the Z which will send a very high voltage charge into the chassis of the Vik. This will interrupt/fry the engine control unit in their vehicle and immediately put it out of commission. I'm still working on getting a good explosive and solid rocket device for the ground to air defence/offense system.
Ever heard of a piss bomb? Ureanitrate, made from cooking down piss (for the uric acid) and combining with high molar nitric adic. The crystalline solid that precipitates from this mixture is stable enough to handle, but highly explosive and relatively easy to make in quantity. About 4 oz of this stuff in a single mass makes quite a blast.. I was getting 1" deep craters from paper wrapped charges. Imagine steel enclosed charges. :) easily enough to take rotor blades out. Ir guided missles are easy to build, I found a setup that uses a PIC (programmable interrupt controller, basically a small programmable computer - very simple computer) to sense Ir vectors and control servos, motors, solenoids etc for little robots. Turbine engines in those bell helicopters put out distinguishable heat in the sky. Piece of cake, sitting ducks up there in the sky. Now if I can just get this 1100KW CO2 laser to maintain a lasing flux, I'd be in business. Just permanently blind them all.. Ever try chasing another car at high speed without being able to see. I remember once seeing some dude on Ripley's believe it or not that drive a car through significantly heavy traffic over a significant distance. Said he was able to sense his surroundings and know where things were at. Trying to lead the sucker watching the show that he has significantly advanced senses or even some additional sense unknown to anyone. Well, I dont believe it Ripley.. And I certainly wouldn't expect some schmuck pig in a gumball machine to be able to pursue me with no vision. Ok, I'm done getting nutty.. Must be something to do with being at work still while everyone in town is off and the homecoming parade. I'm off to put new tires on my beast. 265-35-18" going on the rear. Auto-X tomorrow, followed by drag racing ET bracket series. 12s brackets here I come.
