This follows much the same recipe as the JeepRod as far as building process, but very different in everything else. The engine is a 500 cu. inch big block Chevy with a roots supercharger and dual carbs. Plus the crowing jewel, that scoop in the heavens. You can expect to see 1300-1500 horsepower from this setup. This car isn’t just for looks, it performs and will top 250 mph on the runway (I wish we had a half mile or quarter mile dragstrip in the game). The car itself has been put on a beefed up hotrod chassis and has the solid rear axle and independent front suspension, set up for striaght line speed. This road missile udersteers like crazy, but like I said, it’s not meant to corner. I love making these and have gotten better at building techniques since I’ve moved to iOS primarily (my laptop can’t run crap). You can expect to see more hotrods coming in the future, but in the meantime, enjoy the car! This was a bit of a challenge to build, but the in game ‘finetuner’ is a lot better for this than I thought so it wasn’t too bad. If you want more speed you can sandbag the rear, 300lbs would add a good amount of speed.

Also, don’t try off-roading, the car is low you’ll get stuck getting off the runway! :D

Feel free to leave comments!

Thanks to MotorKade for ideas and the steering wheel.
