Tomahawk Intro

Here's some semi-reliable info on the Dodge Tomahawk:

As probably the most frightening vehicle to ever come out of PVO, it's basically a Viper-powered motorcycle.
It's scary, on many levels:
They say it will do 60mph in just under 2 seconds.
They say it will do over 350 mph.

I dug up a couple of pictures for folks to enjoy:

 

:towel:
I always heard about them but I did not know they were actually sold! HOT

 

It's a pretty sweet set-up, the wheels turn and angle in tandem.

 

You'd have to be THE dumbest SOB to operate that thing. Instant gene-pool cleansing.

 

I don't know if this is true, but I remember reading in one of the many car magazines out there, that this was never a production vehicle, and the prototype never went above 35 mph due to the inherant(sp) instability.

All the photos of the "high speed runs" were digitally altered....

 

Got my trunks on, ready to go!

Well, except for....

Lucky SOB is doing more than 35 mph in a few of those shots.
Then again, it doesn't look like a nice smooth test track either. I'm not sure I'd take it above 50 on a bumpy, wet, truck-hammered road.


BTW- "INHERENT"

 

Jay Leno OWNS one..........they came out 2004-05 i think?

 

I remember seeing a spot on TV where they were driving it on public streets in traffic. ...maybe it was just in front of the exhibition center.

 

Hardly a production vehicle.....but does explain why Leno owns one.

 

you guys made a section for this??? lol, waaaay boring weekend huh?

 

NEVER>..... Will "they" EVER make this bike.... :stars: Sorry, Folks... I call RUBBISH. lease::thanks:

 

Oh snap....I didn't even notice that.....

 

I think that Boss Hoss should make a Dodge 426 powered offereing instead of the ZZ4 or 502 options they have...apparently they're quite ridable! (if not exactly attractive, lol)

9 of 10 made of these would be wrecked lol

x2 hahahahaha

 

I just passed a yellow BOSS HOSS on the road (A1A) yesterday. :grin: The thing was WEIRD lookin! :dumb:

 

Too late, Jakers.
They made (at least) 10 of them.


Not sure if anyone's noticed, but this is the ONLY Tomahawk section on ANY forum online.
It's not boredom; it's called leading the pack.
:grin:

 

Holy crap, that is sick looking!

 

these things are WAAAAAAAY to unstable and were never meant to be mass produced!!!!

 

Thing is siiick! I'd love to see it fly down the quarter mile on a clean smooth surface.
