Scooter Vs. Trans Am

A Go-Ped is a scooter with a relatively large engine. In this video, it races a Trans Am.

I know that in short sprints a man can beat a horse (we're better accelerating from zero), and of course a motorcycle and beat a car, so I wasn't expecting to be too surprised if the Go-Ped beat the Trans Am right out of the blocks. The odd thing, though, is that the Trans Am pulls to a small early lead, and then the Go-Ped actually overtakes it.

The Trans Am driver may have held back. Or he may be a chimp when it comes to changing gears.

The Go-Ped does move pretty fast, though.

Another thing your kids will want that you can't possibly give them. It'd be safer to give them that Gary Glitter "Sensual Mysteries of the Orient" Adventure Weekened they've been clamoring for.

Thanks for the link.
Get ready for the "It's Old, Fake or Photoshopped" crowd.

I'll pay to send them on that Gary Glitter weekend.

That weekend deal is WAY overrated. I couldn't even get Thai coffee.

Ha! Sucker.

I went to Discount Hooker Tours dot com.

Hey, back in 1979, Honda used to sell the CM400A, a 400cc two-cylinder bike with an automatic transmission. It could beat the then-current Porsches in a quarter mile.

Good deals at sexpedia and whorebits too.

Posted by: scott on November 23, 2005 04:01 PM

My gawd, ace, can't you just...move on already? Scooter will get his day in court and the investigation is winding down. This Trans Am guy probably doesn't even work in the administration.

Wait a minute...

This is bullshit! Nothing can touch my 'Zam except another even sweeter Zam (which is an impossibility).

Just more irresponsible slander from blogs. Get this shit straight.

Gary glitter weekend in T-land hum? I heard the Dems were on that tour so I gave up my slot to Pelosi,she likes tranvestite hookers & made some cash. The video was well done BUT come on Ace a scooter HAHAHAHA nope....

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. A man can beat a car over short distances. I've actually done the man/horse thing and it's not even close. Seriously, before the guy finishes his first stride the horse is like two lengths out. If you've ever ridden a horse you know that they absolutely explode off the line, they have four very strong legs that they can push off with all at once. It's no contest.
Posted by: Bill on November 23, 2005 05:21 PM

Power to weight ratios folks. That Go-Ped isn't just using any old leaf blower engine. According to the video, that thing has got a 23,000 RPM redline, as is running a wet shot of nitrous oxide. If all of that is true, it could maybe give the Trans Am a run for its' money in an 1/8th of a mile race.

Isn't it the other way 'round? Horses are great over short or medium distances, but humans are outstanding endurance runners. Over the long, long haul--like several miles and several hours--a fit human can outrun practically anything.

Horses are great over short or medium distances, but humans are outstanding endurance runners.

Horses long distance abilites are largely unknown.

FACT: Challenged to any long distance race, horses are notorious for offering up lame reasons why they can't, from "Mom won't let me go that far from home" to "We're going to my aunt's later and I can't get all sweaty."

FACT: Horses are just incredibly lazy creatures who refuse to put in the training required to excel in long distance racing. This common fact, of course, is the genesis of the slur "..likes to lie around all day, not training, like a horse."

Horses are also unreliable. When one says they'll be over later to help you with moving over into your new place, well, your gonna be a waiting a long time for them to show. AND your gonna get a hell of bullshit story why they couldn't when you finally catch up with them the next day... their truck's radiator was leaking real bad... they had to take their girlfriend to the hospital. Etc.

Sure, horses are okay to chill with, but don't think they'll come through for you. Juut their way.

The totally cool thing about this video is when the kid on the moped gives the finger to the Trans Am before the race starts.

Posted by: Michael on November 23, 2005 07:08 PM

Yeah, but the guy on the scooter is screwed if the guy on the Trans Am decides to swap a little paint.

"But officer, I was just 'racing hard'!"

Posted by: Terry on November 23, 2005 07:36 PM

Yeah, but the guy on the scooter is screwed if the guy on the Trans Am decides to swap a little paint.

See, the Trans Am has to catch the little bugger before that happens.

Posted by: Michael on November 23, 2005 07:41 PM

I won't feel a thing when I run that kid over in my Lincoln Navigator. Who wins now, sucka?

Posted by: Bart on November 24, 2005 01:41 AM

Com'on guys, that can't be real. The Trans-Am can pull a solid G of acceleration. If the scooter shot out that fast if would fly out from under the driver. To be stable at 1 G of acceleration, your wheel base must be twice the length as your center of gravity is high. (assuming you are well centered.) Thats why a motorcycle rider needs to lean forward and low on a hard acceleration, or they will pop a wheelie. You just couldn't hang on to a scooter accellerating that fast.

Posted by: emg on November 24, 2005 02:13 AM

Killjoy.

Posted by: Michael on November 24, 2005 12:13 PM

If I had a scooter, I'd name it "Libby."

Nitrous on a wheelie-barred scooter ???

Can't tell if it rocks or sucks.

Posted by: Tom_with_a_Dream on November 24, 2005 08:01 PM

Well per Ace:

The odd thing, though, is that the Trans Am pulls to a small early lead, and then the Go-Ped actually overtakes it.

See, the Trans Am driver just needs to decide that he is gonna win early in the race!

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
