Hey Jeff,

Dont you worry, Im with you buddy. Ive been researching this agressively since I had my first ride. Sonic sand cars look great. You sure you want the turbo on there. LOL ( stupid question I know) It is amazing that a simple tubo on this motor with 8 lbs. of boost, give you 260 - 280 rwhp. (just enough) I wish I had info about Sonic for you, but I have none, other than what you have already read about. Good luck!!

Gary

Jeff:

I don't know if I've seen one of the Sonic Cars before (trying to remember what Justin's buddie's car was?)

Better get ordering. . . these things can take a while to get done! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Sandcars are always late but, I'm sure there are builders out there that make it on time. Just one of those things that as long as you know the rules going into it you won't be disappointed. If you are planning a trip around something I'ld make sure you add a month or two to whatever they quote you.

Other rides:
SickSandTravel - rode in this one - One of Crackerjacks friends - what a rush!
Sandbullet - Nice looking cars - no firsthand experience
TomPro Design - Some of the best cars out there - long travel - King Shocks - Reverse Box and huge turbo! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Need a few more bonus checks. . . hope to have one for St. A's next year but, we'll see. If I do, you are going to have to meet up with us out there.
