Default Boy my top gun. Certainly ain't my little rocket ship

Took first ride in the top gun. For having 700 s it certainly ain't no ripper. :-). My 35 lightning scares me. This thing is smooth and great. Just don't give me that c ya later feeling. Blues after one ride. How much power does it take to move these tanks. 98 strait bottom with scorpion 700 blower motors. 540 with 250 bum blowers , :-(. I guess I new it wasn't going to be as quick as my fountain

I hear ya Rob. My Formula and my Cig are within a MPH of each other. The Formula was much more exciting at top end as it did not ride as well and needed more attention at the wheel. I could walk down into the cabin and make a sandwich on the Cafe and nobody would notice. This thing needs more power.
