Talk:Blastolene Special

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Somebody who knows cars can make sense of this (edited out of main article for now)

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE BLASTOLENE BROTHERS CAR OWNED BY JAY LENO IS NOT, REPEAT, IS NOT A DUESENBERG REPLICA. IT IS A REPLICA OF A REAR WHEEL DRIVE, FRONT ENGINE OPEN WHEEL INIANAPOLIS ROADSTER OF THE LATE 40'S AND EARLY 50'S.

RESPECTFULLY SUBIMITTED,

I've hidden the full email addy from any harvesters, though it's still visible in the source. Personally, I think "done in the style of" in the existing article is compatible with the above claim of "not a replica" — I just don't know whether the Indy Roadster bit is accurate / pertinent / what have you. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 21:47, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Major tidy up

Did a big cleanup. Removed the stuff about the RPMs of the vehicle, it's quite low revving really (motorbikes can do 16 grand) : Gran turismo doesn't appear to have a high RPM from my searches on google: http://formula-1.updatesport.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=201984&sid=905023bb834e51fc6c5085377864cb7d says it redlines at 3,500 RPM. Not 35,000 RPM.

Tracked down some other articles, improved the accuracy of the information and the layout.. NathanLee 00:11, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
