    O.K. Texas has lost one of the best VXs made. Who is the lucky state who gets to have it?
    Peace.

    You gave up the VX for a car?

    I'm... shocked.

    Okay, okay... you're kidding? Right? C'mon, show us what it really is...

    We're waiting... Impatiently, I might add.

    It'll be in Moab with Swampers on it, will ya'll? Those tire on there are 31x12" with an aggressive street tread, they don't seem to make offroad tires rated for 155MPH! This ain't no car - there's a stout tranfer case, 9+ inches of clearance and plenty of power - crank the tbars and it's all set to go.

    Not a car? Unitized body = station wagon.

    Moab? Not for a while yet, Uwharrie is about as far as I want to go until the support rig is sorted out. Getting an eye for Tellico too.

    I've seen photos of the new Black Beauty- 'Tis not a Toyota but it is a foreign maker and a VERY limited number were made (sound familar?). Anyone care to make another guess?

    Better yet simply meet up with us on Sunday 11/13 for the "ren fest" and take a gander then.....

    Time to start guessing! If you know what it is (there are a few on the board) don't spoil it for the others. Here are some clues:

    There are only 4,000 in the US and the vehicle was made for only 4 yrs

    Specs
    Horsepower 342 @ 5500 RPM
    Torque (lb-ft) 376 @ 4500 RPM
    All aluminum motor with variable length intake runners (sounds familiar...)
    2 intake 1 exhaust valve per cylinder (24 total)
    Wheelbase/Width/Length 111.0"/74.6"/182.5"
    Transmission Five-speed automatic
    Coefficient of Drag (Cd.) 0.39
    4WD / 8" stock clearance / similar approach and departure angles


    PERFORMANCE
    0-60 MPH 6.4 seconds
    Top speed (governed) 155MPH

    13.6 inch front brakes/13.5 inch rear brakes /60-0 in 125 feet

    Will post driveline picture tomorrow....
