That was one fast chunk of steel. It would take alot of hp to move that Dodge to 128 mph in 11 seconds. You could see the torque pulling it out of the hole. I had a car that ran 10.60 127 mph and believe me that is flying,I can't imagine it in a Duelly.

grassgod, the Dodge ran 1320 ft or 1/4 mile in 11 seconds, an Enzo can run 400 meters or 1312.33 feet in 11 seconds so I would say the Dodge could beat it but I think it would be a photo finish. That Dodge stock would probably run 20 seconds in 1320 feet.

I've been looking at cabs real hard, Laurin http://www.laurin-inc.com/en2/cab/mpcab.htm seems to be the only one to make a hard cab for a 110, they make nice cabs. The 110 cab is 7500.00 to much for me. I found Jodale Perry, http://jodaleperry.com/ they are factory looking cabs for less then Lorin but I don't see a 110 cab. Curtiss doesn't make one either, and the Fremar soft cab looks like it would get fogged or snowed up and stay that way. I don't have alot of choices. I know its darn cold plowing. My tractor never fails to start on a single turn, the other day it turned over twice and thats all it could do. I knew I was in trouble then. No place to plug in to power. It's even colder this week end.

grassgod, we got our foot of snow the other day, it's up to my knee cap so well over a foot on this mountian. Looks like we might miss the one coming at you right now. Last I heard it's going out to sea in southern Maine.

I'll look at Curtiss again. I parked my truck and tractor in a friends parking lot with no power around. What I ended up doing was using a genorator to run a battery charger on the truck and a magnetic block heater. The tractor just took a boost from the other truck. I left the tractor running on the trailer as I hauled it 25 miles to the job. That magnetic block heater worked pretty good, never seen one. It's like a magnetic steam iron and sticks to the oil pan bottom. It heats the oil which heats the motor. Both vehicles have block heaters if I could park near power.
