Default RE: CEN Genesis VS Savage 25

Estimated price is about $550. No one knows the top speed, since it isn't available yet. The prototype shown in the pictures and articles is a one-off, and is the only one that has been driven. But it doesn't even have the correct engine. With the combination of a 3-speed tranny and a .46 engine, this truck should fly and still be able to pull wheelies. I'd imagine that they're shooting for the 50+ range.
In comparison, the Schumacher Menace 21 has a 3-speed tranny and a .21 engine and it hits 70 mph. I realize that the Genesis weighs twice as much, but the engine is also twice as big. I'm not saying that the Genesis will hit 70, it's just something to think about.
