For those of us who are older then dirt, this will bring back memories, especially to those who were involved in Automotive Hot Rodding!

That must have been a great time to live in.

That was a really well story-boarded presentation I thought.

I remember dreaming of owning a Scimitar GTE SE5 when I was growing up after getting a really good look at a brand new one when I was a kid. By the time I was old enough to drive I knew I could never afford it (they stopped making them - they never made many of them as it turns out) and by then there were much nicer cars about for much less.

This isn't a Vehicle from the 50's or 60's but it's something I've been messing around with for about 10 years now, it still isn't finished and probably never will be. It's a 1978 GMC Pickup so in 2008 it will be considered a Classic I guess ... It's also the main reason I go by the Alias of PoorBoy ...

I've seen that Movie some time ago or at least most of it anyway, but other than being kind of a goofy Si-Fi Movie I don't remember too much about it so I can't really answer that ... ...

the car in the movie runs on nuclear power and when it leaves, it leaves burning rubber marks on the pavement (as i think yours will do without a hiccup)

Spec's ... The Motor alone puts out 925HP & 850FPT, with the 300HP Nitrous Kit it makes over 1200HP & will go thru the 1/4 mile in less than 9 Seconds.

Actually it is conservatively built in a way, it will Cruise the Streets on 92-94 Octane Pump Gas all day long. At the Strip I will run the good 110-112 Octane Gas to help keep the Motor from coming apart ...

... Okay, I remember that part of the Movie now that you jogged my memory, I could kinda remember something blasting off in the Movie but couldn't put a finger on it. Maybe I should put a Nose Cone & Parachute on it in case it ever does Blast Off ...
