[s-cars] Sweet motor sounds -NAC

[Paul Gailus]

Hap,

I experienced Rare Bear shake the ground at Oskosh
several years ago, so I can hardly imagine what it
must be like in the cockpit.
I also remember a comparision sheet between a standard
Bearcat and Rare Bear that Lyle Shelton was handing out
in his presentation.  Under the category "oil consumption" the
standard Bearcat had some specific number of gallons
per hour. All it said for the Rare Bear was the word HIGH!
After seeing it start up cold I can see why! I guess they
need some extra big piston clearances for that baby.

Paul
