1910 Thomas Racer.mov

This 1910 Thomas Flyer has been restored to run the next Great Race. The car is now painted and made to look like the original 1907 car that won the very first Great Race from New York to Paris. The huge 6 cylinder car underwent a huge restoration to make the 2008 Great Race, before the race was postponed due to complications with the passage through China. The car is now complete, but this video was shot as soon as the car was roadworthy and before it was torn down for final paint and assembly. It was a special day to see this road veteran again blasting around town. These cars are awesome and you forget just how impressive they were until you see this beast roar to life and take to the highways. Time has change the styling of automobiles, but this car is absolutely timeless!

Probaby about 5-8 MPG hahahaha. and yes the torque specs are probably in the 700-800 ft lbs rage for that motor. It's hard to comprehend until you see the size of the rotating mass in that motor

[cokertireco]

not tooooo specific but imagine something like 800 cubic inches that make 70-ish horsepower and somewhere north of 600ft lbs of torque. dump fuel on that and it equates to not "California emissions compliant"
