160hp 2 seater

That looks like something I’d build. But how would you make it road legal?

My current build has a 8' wheelbase and is 9' overall, but only with a 15+ hp. Predator. Truly overbuilt for the motor, but I still would never want more than a 420cc in it. Your best bet for protection is not a fully enclosed cabin for getting launched into space with maybe an oak tree for brakes. What you need for safety is less power/speed. Or buy a truck.

hmm def looks like one of my builds. In fact i think i built exactly that when i was a kid. had roller skate wheels on it for going down hills. Super fun.

Are you trying to build an 80mph tank! sounds like fun.

160hp?? yah i can see a tank with that going 80mph, i guess. should get some airbags for it too i dont think you are going to like rolling anything at 80mph. even if it is a tank. Just going to rattle you inside the can. godspeed.

Maneuverability might be a better plan. so you can avoid rolling

I wouldnt use the word tank but i want to be able to drive at 50 and crank the wheel to see how many times i can roll it. Wgile being able to literally start it and drive away. Ive been in multiple car accidents. One at 100mph in a subaru impreza. All I've learned is that seat belts save lives. Have to stay contained in the vehicle.

Do you have a death wish? Because rolling anything at 50 mph could make you dead. Even if by accident, dead is dead.

I think I'll just stick to adding kph after a speed. I obviously confused you because I said 100mph. 50 kph is 31 mph.
I want utv safety. Zero crumple zones so she'll be hard hitting. like a old car.

Is this the same build as your other post about the axle?

Old cars were designed to fold up to absorb the energy from the impact starting in the 20s.

It was patented and introduced in the 50s
