johnc Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 No, its not a Bugatti, its the BBR Special/Corrillion Pod Racer: I'm redoing the wing mounting and fixing some frame problems. Some specs: About 260hp from a 3 cylinder snowmobile engine. About 550 lbs. total weight. Top speed about 90 mph. 0 to 60 in 1.5 to 1.6 seconds. Lateral acceleration above 3gs. It won a Road and Track skid pad test back int he late 1990s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodlefoof Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Awesome! I love it! That's very similar to what I had in mind for a go-kart awhile back... never started work on it becuase I started the Z instead... I really like the inboard-mounted single rear brake disk and belt drive. Is there any differential though or are the axles locked together?

johnc Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Belt drive CVT with a differential - a spool I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I was mistaken in my drive post above, its a belt driven CVT that connectes to a counter shaft. From the counter shaft its chain drive to the rear diff (spool). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
