muscle car
What's the best combination of gas, nitro, or diesel engine and chassis for the highest power-to-weight ratio, and with decent traction? I mean, what's the BEST IC engine/car combination for a MUSCLE CAR? [8D]

RE: muscle car
I have moved this to the general car discussion forum, it wouldn't have fared too well in the E-car forum 
To answer your question - I would say a nice small block in a minimalistic funny car/dragster chassis. Power-weight probably doesn't get any better than that.

Anyway, i'd suggest a smallblock (.12) nitro engine in a electric pan car would have the best power/weight ratio. There was a guy on this forum a while ago who made one, and it was NICE! The chassis weighed next to nothing and with proper gearing the car could easily hit 60mph.

RE: muscle car
maybe one of those dark thunder dragsters by megatech. They go 60 in 2 seconds (according to megatech; yeah right) with a 1.6 CC engine imagine what it could do with a huge engine in it!!!! Althought the videos of it in action didn't show anything over 40mph.

RE: muscle car
I think I might do the pan car thing. If you look at the megatech dragsters, you will see that they are just the rear half of a touring chassis with dragster front suspensions. CRAP! and I was thinking like a 4-5cc engine.. hmm. Just as long as it has the MOST power possible!
1/8 onroad will do 0-60 much faster than the megatech dragsters. I am just lookin for something that handles ok but is still a powerful car.. dragsters are not for making turns.
