with the sprag I think I could get away with only using the clutch for starting out in first so that may help with the wear a bit.

Last year I put over 12,000 freeway miles on my 250 and pretty much raped it everyday and still got 55mpg. And I'm thinking this will be pretty much be only used for in city driving as the ultimate P&G machine. I dont know if it would be able to compete with honda's leanburn technology for steady highway cruising.

And thats a cool idea Metromizer, but why stop @ 600? A few of the guys round here have proved its pretty easy to make 800+hp But really, a pusher trailer with tools and slicks would be so sweet. I dont know if the drag racing world is ready for that kind of thing yet. Hell, just trying to convince some of these guys that taking their side view mirrors off and maybe adding skirts should help mph is rough and they are too worried about their cars looking weird


And come on, who wouldnt want a three wheeled, RWD, 14,500 redline Crx
