RE: 89 vs 92

Okay, I'll stop, but my point is that the angles here are very close yet if would appear that their is more space on the right then there is on the left. Of course we know that is not correct because it's the same picture.

This just shows that the lines are the same length.

RE: 89 vs 92

I'm studying the pictures and I haven't figured out a good way to tell why you think that yet... What size tires do you have on there now?

RE: 89 vs 92

the no car had 33 inch tall tires now look at how much frame is sticking past them ..not just the angles the mounting holes how much more thats hanging out. the car in tunica stops right after the mounting holes jacks stops right after the holes(just picture his with 33 on it) mines bobbed off .. why do they stop at them holes because thats the end of the body.. now the no 1 car dont it keeps on going several inchs and then the exhast gos on out .. but im going to get under a capice and put a tape on it and see if anything would fit passed them holes

RE: 89 vs 92

Rusty, do you have a shot of the inside of yours where the rear of the frame sits in the body? But to answer your question. It would depend on the width of that frame and how high or low the body was placed over the frame. I'll try to take some measurments this weekend based on the position of the turbine in the picture you posted.
Sorry just very busy right now.

RE: 89 vs 92

Rusty I guess you are trying to help Mark prove that the 89 and 92 are different? Why doesn't Mark just post his proof? Like I said before I'm not buying (not yet anyway). If there are more cars why aren't there more pictures. What would that make the OnStar cars? Repaints of the 89 or the 92? Just another Bat urban legend or maybe they never left England. Mark you made the statment so lets see some proof. No I'm not trying to be an ass I just don't want to have to wait for 2 months like the last time.

RE: 89 vs 92

Chip's & cheese, from what I can see.

Isn't the Carmel car just set the exhaust & afterburner further forward in the chassis? The afterburner does seem to be the wrong size & shape. Most definatly the wrong 'feathers' on the afterburner (call me Rainman, cause talking to myself while on this site, is how my family see me just now). Just look at the exhausts, they hardly clear the body. Also, it might be just me, but dosn't the phoney car have a lower canopy? It looks to me like it's shorter than the rear fins (from the ground).

The hero car looks like the canopy is at least the same height as the rear fins, perhaps taller? Also the rear end (exhaust & afterburner) fittings are clearly set up futher back on the frame (further from the front ). The exhausts also look like they stand out from underneath the body shell. Look at where they are in relation to the body shell, then it's plain to see the difference.

Check back on the pics & see what you think.

RE: 89 vs 92

Hell, I'll ask.

Whats the length of your car & height (ie, body only)? Then we can compare differences, right?

(Also I might learn something more)

RE: 89 vs 92

jack i had this discussion with nitro a long time ago and just because i agree with someone makes me a defender ...no.. and im talking about the frame length behind the rear wheels ..i see where yours stops and i see where the no.1 stops could your frame stand to be about a foot longer? and im just going with what i see and think...i dont need someone to lead me.

RE: 89 vs 92

Look how short they cut these. Also notice that is how the frame is actually positioned on the 6 Flags cars, same with the car in Tallahassee. They lifted the suspension to near full travel using air shocks and then mounted the body. Note the position of the exhaust tips.

RE: 89 vs 92

I just measured mine. At the longest possible for the way I have my body positioned over my frame the length from the center of the hole would be 9". The frame would be touching the body. Now I really should have put my body lower over the frame with the frame higher (not as high as the Six Flags car of course). Tim was nice enough to do a little photo editing and came up with this frame being around 9+ to the center of the hole. Actually 9 3/4" since the hole is 1 1/2". So could my body fit over it? Probably depending on how much it was sat over the frame. But with the way mine is sitting right now, NO it would hit by up to 3/4".








Now these are just guesstoments.... But you can see it's not a foot longer probably closer to 4 to 5 inches longer.

So we are back to waiting on the proof. Come on Mark stop holding out.

RE: 89 vs 92

You don't have to provide "proof", just tell us why you think that the 92 is shorter than the '89... ??

RE: 89 vs 92

Yeah good point the whole Proof thing does sound kind of rude. Why do you think they are two differnt cars?

RE: 89 vs 92

I've seen so many damn photos of this car that I think I would know if some of them were shorter than others. So would so many of the other members of this board. Why the hell would they make the 92 shorter than the 89? That just doesn't make sense. Mark is either misinformed or full of .

Nice job getting everyone going though f*ckhole...

Indeed! It DID give us something Keaton car related to talk about since we have been kind of dry recently.

RE: 89 vs 92

Yes great topic indeed. Although with Rusty and Nate sharing pix we have been doing a lot of "back on track" 89 talk. I can't believe that everyones not talking about the great deals from Batgod and Mark. I would have bet every member of CLTC would have jumpped on those deals. I know I would have.

RE: 89 vs 92

Just to let you know the 89 and the 92 cars are one in the same. The two cars were fitted with new gadgets and a different paint scheme. I don’t know who has been passing around that the two cars are different, it just isn't so.

The two OnStar cars are the real cars repainted and OnStar buttons installed. I am sure that Dave can confirm this for us as well.

RE: 89 vs 92

I've up close to the onstar cars. (like touching it) It's the 89, no doubt about it.

I don't have a batmobile, but I have a remote R2-D2
