It's a really really old concept. Like the Tyrrell P34, a six-wheeled formula one car back in the 70s. But that was the 70's, everyone was a stoner.

According to wikipedia, the driver actually won a race in it. But then quit the team because he didn't like the car. Hard to imagine 10-inch wheels going 180mph, that's for sure!

Someone has already made a six wheeled SW2. It had four rear wheels and the back was made into a truck bed.

It was one word. awesome. The smaller wheels were more aerodynamic, had less angular intertia and could produce a larger contact patch without being wider (all sort od cool things came along with this). The car a a hack on the rules and was also banned as far as I remember.

I don't see any reason to do it on a road car where you are trying to loophole rules.

Is that to help with our traction issues with pushing huge bhp?

I could be wrong but I think low was possibly thinking of this butt ugly one

to me it just seems stupid, and a complete waste of time. but that is just my opinion.

that saturn truck thing is the most horrible thing i've seen in a while, and whats even worse someone spent a bunch of money too do that what a waste of a saturn money paint parts everything on that is a waste what a piece of crap.

Actually the one I saw was a different color, had four rear wheels and was parked on the grass near some water in the pictures.

I don't know, I sort of dig that custom Saturn truck. I've seen worse. Then again I liked the Subaru Baja, the Ranchero, El Camino and the Rampage.

I've got some on board of that car or a variant on a F1 DVD. It's even sweeter on a big flat screen pumping realistic F1 volume levels through the surround system! The one I have doesn't have a front cowl on the car, and you can see the driver working the pedals... which are probably all of 4 inches off the road surface.

Leave it to the F1 guys to find rules loopholes. That car was legal enough to cause rule changes.

I've also got some vid of the F1 V8 Cosworth turning 20,000+ revs on the dyno. Sweet!

Hey that's my old thread!!! Good stuff.

:D

That 6 wheeler SW is so random. Someone should make an 8 wheeler like the Strykers they use in the military.

[93SC2'in]

i think pointless is the word i would use over random.. :p
