No BS, 9000hp '66 Impala

[RYNO_s13]

I know you're thinking yeah right, but wait. I was watching this Myth Busters show on Discovery, and they were talking about the whole JATO bottle '67 chevy off a cliff thing. Well, to test this myth, they took a '66 Impala (yes, it had hydraulics) and welded three solid fuel rocket engines on the roof. Each one of the rockets created 1500 lbs of thrust. At 2hp per lb, you get 9000hp! And for all you neanderthals who swear by Chevy, even with over 9k ponies, it still only did just over 150mph. Give me a steep hill and a good tailwind, and I betcha I can top that.

Ryno, I watched that too - COOL show.

Thought it was cool how they set the car up with remote control...

Wish they had packed it full of explosives and detonated it at top speed - But that's just me.

[DenverQ]

I can hit 150 on i-25 between denver and ft collins and I only have 300hp :ylsuper

[Repo Man]

Yeah, I saw it too. Pretty cool but they're a couple wankers for not having driven it themselves.

I changed the channel when they started playing with the pig's innards and the one guy taking his pants off.

I think the guy with the mustache was trying to be the doofy basturd from the "My Classic Car". I think that's the right show. You know, the guy with the curly-fry 'stache.

[AZhitman]

Yep - The dork with the 'stache has to go.

I agree - Who wouldn't wanna drive a nine thousand-horse Impala!

Wussies.

What are they for? Braking at the end of the run?:D

No, they're because although I love my 240, I do understand that I'm most likely not going to top 150 without a little hellp.

[MasterMan]

when was this on.. and do u know if it will be on agine? (discovery normaly replays that stuff on the weekends..) sounds sweet...

[Get240DiZzY]

I saw that show last night too... I changed the channel when they were trying to detonate the pigs stomach, but made it back in time to see the guy in black having the airplane toilet suck on his *** while he was sitting there laughing. I couldn't really sleep last night...

[AZhitman]

Dude, the pig stomach thing was COOL!!!

They couldn't explode it (until they added more HCl and some antacids... SPLAT!! hahahahahha

sounds like freak got his own TV deal

[sultan]

back to the topic, but did they expect to go faster? i saw part of it yesterday, and didn't the car only go 150 because it was in gear? had it been in neutral when the rockets were ignited i think it would have gone faster. btw, anybody see clear and present danger yesterday(or ever)? the colombian drug lord has a red Q45.
