We all have that one friend that wants to make everything go as fast as it can. We all love this friend, but sometimes his obsession with making things that maybe shouldn't go fast, really fast can get a little scary. Remember that time he built a drag racing school bus that did wheelies and ran a 13 second quarter mile? Yeah we do too. He is also the same guy that somehow crammed a massive 574 Chevy big block into a car that weighs just over 2000 pounds. Yeah, talk about power to weight ratios. This is the friend that we all want to look at their cars, but are a little less than enthusiastic about letting him drive you around town.
How might you be able to know who this guy is out on the road? Well, here are some telltale signs of a monster power addict. When you meet him, if he looks like he graduated from Stanford or MIT or somewhere like that, but also at the same time has a somewhat crazy look to him in his eyes, then this is your guy. If you happen to see him in a parking lot, you can tell that his car is his by the massive hood cutout with a blower sticking out of the top of it. If he is driving around, he will usually be in the front for obvious reasons (being he is the fastest guy in the group) and nobody wants to be in front of the guy with the lead foot.
Why do we like this guy? We like this guy because he gives all the rest of us slower guys something to look up to for our own projects and that is pretty sweet. We all want something that we can aspire to and that is what this guy can provide. The other fun thing that this guy can bring to the table is that insane amount of speed and awesomeness to the "crew". He is usually a pretty awesome griller too.
