And suppose in 30 more days or maybe even 60 there’s 40 cars in peoples garage what are you gonna complain about then.
That RG said 500 cars stateside and delivered by June. He said an additional 40 by April.
Have you noticed the 15 owners who ’took delivery’ are being very silent about delivery. Wonder what type of NDA, etc., they signed when the purchased said car but were told they can leave the shop.

Two of the the first owners posted very detailed videos about the pros and cons of the cars after the long Sunday ride.

Some of the 11 owners that have "taken delivery" have been posting on other forums and social media.

They can’t take them home. Have to visit in Havasu. It was sort of 10 cars. They got to go on a guided tour of Havasu and Desert Bar.

Wow 60 cars equals success? Hmmm he could have hand built 60 cars by now. Lol. At this rate the car has a plethora of problems

Starters
Transmissions
Dash glitch
Brakes
Power steering
Turbo now?
Oil pressure lines/sensors?
Delivery?

To me success is when he hits 1000 cars and routinely finishes races baring driver error crashes.

But since I can see this is a garage shop run company vs full on mfg.

I have heard from several big players in the racing world and mfg world that Robby or hurting for cash to keep mfg going. I cannot verify those claims so it’s speculation at this point but I have heard it from multiple various sources. Time will tell.

Again Robby keeps flapping his gums saying his shit don’t stink. He has yet to finish anything at this point

Races- all DNF not one finish
Customer ride-several problems to the point one customer had to use a pre production car. I’ll say that’s a dnf too.

Delivery? Not finished

So perhaps humble up. Do what you said you are going to do and let the car talk.

RG walks out of a court room few months back with 40 mil settlement, next up the trolls whine about RG spending other people money. RG need come on here & have at it with this bullshit. Fucking click bait.
It’s under appeal and he might realize 25% of the $40M after splitting with attys and then Todd. 3-5 years might see some of that money.

Hahaha @ routinely finishing races.

Go buy a $1M+ trophy truck built by Mason and routinely finish races. Andy couldn't do it, Bryce can't do it.

Not to their detriment but because racecar. Pull your head out...asap.

I have a friend who had been in a law suit for Ten years. They finally just settled a couple months ago.

Everyone agreed to go there separate ways. The only ones that profited were the lawyers. The actual award never exchanged hands.

For 40m, this thing will drag out forever and a day. I'll bet Gordon nevers sees one dime.

Not that I care, but did he walk out with the money or a judgement ? You can spend one, the other you might spend a lot more of your own to actually get before that little company Textron writes a check.
My only interest in RG is if his new Taco Shop in Havasu works on Wildcat XX's. 😁

Isn't what RG is doing to the owners of the few Speed car that exist the same as a Polaris stop ride order , except at least Polaris owners have their vehicles in THEIR garage ??

We have a reason now why Robby didn't finish. Engine got too cold from not running a t-stat and blew the head gasket. Makes sense to me :rolleyes:
Geez... and all this time I thought they blew had gaskets when they got too hot. I've been wrong for years. And it makes a lot of sense that, during a race, where you are hauling ass and running really hard, that the engine would "get cold" so many times. I like the Speed deal, I'm impressed by what they've accomplished, but at times, he's like Trump, his own worst enemy.... just stop talking already.

Something new to me , a head gasket blowing because it was to cold ? Had an auto repair shop for 30 years and this is the first time I have heard of this happening !

yeah but you didn’t run your shop in race conditions.
Since when would something run cold in race condition ?

It wouldn't.

I watched one of his infomercials awhile back and realized right away the guy is NOT a mechanic!

He may know how to drive fairly well, but like someone else said...

He seriously should just stop talking. 🙄
Weird on Boatdmanville_Glamis Instagram Speed UTV said it was a blown turbo. Plus a lot more.

You guys do realize they got their ass handed to them by most of the field at the MINT. I know I know there testing but I thought it was race ready out of the box, its going to take a long time to sort these cars out and who knows what the competition will have out by then. Personally watching but no way I would buy for a couple of years.

How does a compression release on a cam work?

Do these engines have variable valve timing?

I have only delt with them on small engines but I imagine it's the same principal for speeds. Basically holds open the exhaust valve a little until a certain rpm so the engine can spin easier with out compression.

Interesting concept.

Sounds like my Taco 22 probably had one. 👍🏼

So they're loosing starters because the 1000cc, 2 cylinder engine has "too much compression" ??

Also, if it's a known issue that the race cars are loosing starters because of the lack of comp. release, why not put the comp. release back in them and keep them under 9500rpm? Doesn't make any sense, especially with a 3 speed trans...

Well,i have constantly attempted support RG / Speed UTV. Over the years @RDP i could never understand the negative towards business or employers. With that said,the live interview Jim had with RG & Max at the Mint 400 yesterday was a fucking disaster. Jim did his best,but RG and Max need get this thing done asap and STOP talking. The guys in that broadcast booth were doing their best to be respectful & polite.
