I used to drive a really shitty chevy sprint, because it got really good mileage but the body on it was so bad... anyways, it got to where it wouldn't run at all because of the carb. so its been sitting around for about a year.

The other day i was telling my friend (who i bought the car from for $1) that i was gonna get it running again, and he said if I did that he would give me a nitrous kit that was good for 100hp to put on it.

This car has a 3 cylinder 1 liter engine and its rated for 42hp@5100rpm and 82hp@5500rpm.

My objective is a scenario where this does not turn the car into a bomb. I think it would be neat to get this car up to like 160mph (since all it will really do is 80 normally)

any thoughts?

pic is a much better looking sprint than mine, which is missing the back hatch and has a hole in the floor behind the drivers seat, etc...

That car is designed to go a certain speed, if you make it go faster, it is liable to fall apart from the vibrations, lose traction, overheat somewhere etc

as long as the wheels don't fall off or the motor blow up I'd try this once.

i thought /sci/ would be more interested in this though, at least as something funny/stupid/dangerous
