| My 74 bay window has a Subaru 2.5L....I don't know how fast it is but it runs really well. I still have to go get it dyno tuned to see how much power we get out of it , I'll post that here after and maybe some picture/video. |

I'll race you, you get an extra horse power for every 10 pounds lighter you are, so buses being equal, I got at least 20 more Horses based on pics I've seen of you.

That's why it will be a downhill race. Then your theory wont work against physics.

Well I like the Subaru motors but aren't the vast majority of them stock? Have you put any hi performance Subaru engine parts on it? I'm certain a type 1 can smoke a Subaru if it has the right stuff.  |
You don't get out much do you?

I know this is an old thread but I am just amazed at the interesting responses.
I have a 69 single cab with a 2165cc that has a modest 100HP at the back wheels. It is safe and fun to drive and keeps up with traffic with ease.
It is only good enough for a 17.2 on the quarter mile but next engine round I would like to be greedy and have around the 130-140HP atw.
Handling?? Well better than any of the new single cabs that Toyota or anyone else puts out. |

My old thread, I still don't see who has the fastest bay here, post YOUR bus not someone else's fast bus! I am building a very fast bus right now, nobody here will be able to touch it.
