my point was that i think 200mph is within reach , i'm sure the mule could run 200 plus but safety first, not many people are willing to risk their lives to see if their car or they can do it. 200mph in any car is fast be it a camaro, ferrarri, porsche, nitro-car or what ever.

Who cares? We already know that it has over 1000hp, watching it on the dyno is boring. I wanna see it on the track!! I did see the videos of it on powertour which was really cool. Glad to see its being driven,(not that any of charlies cars don't get driven) Common Charlie! get that car back and lets see some real videos!! Or are you chicken .....woops.... did i say that? Sounds like there are more plans in store for the mule, I can't wait to see! Hopefully it involves some real life racing!
Well, this is my first post here also and I don't think you know what you are talking about.. I don't "know" Charlie, but have talked to him last year on the phone when I was first getting into Camaros. He is a friend of a friend of mine. Everything I have read about him seems to point out that he loves powerful cars and isn't "afraid" to use them. I have alot of respect for someone willing to put 8k miles on a beautiful one off car like his. I drive the hell out of all my cars and most of them see alot of track time, but I'm sure Charlie is a busy guy and probably has even less time than me to go to the track, so I wouldn't go around and call someone "chicken" unless you really know them..

SW, I ID'd you from the list of cars in your sig before I even saw it on your post. Welcome aboard. I'm looking forward to seeing your '69 over at 1431 soon. If it's been there, I must have missed it. Post your info over in "Introductions". It's a great car!!

I'll have my car back in Austin soon. I think Mark is sicking the 'Busa's on me.

Your car needs pink accents, sidepipes, and Keystone Classics... only then will it truly be cool.

As someone sitting on the sidelines, this topic has provided me with boatloads of amusement Most of us can only wish we had a car like yours, and I think those who talk **** are the most jealous of any of us.

Cody, I don't appreciate you coming to my website and start talking crap about my friends on your very first post. I put a TON of effort and energy into this, and I'm not going to let some kid with an attitude start running his mouth about what his expectations are of someone else's car or project as if you were some sort of expert.

You seem to have a real problem with the chassis dyno video - well guess what, it's been downloaded over 3,000 times this month alone, so obviously people enjoy it. If you don't like it, don't watch it.

It's one thing to offer constructive criticism or disagree with how something is done, but it's totally another when you start throwing out those 'chicken' statements.

Cody,
I think it's time for you to start your own forum.
