I am going to put mine up for sale in a few months and search for another during the off season. I want to go back to a Subaru powered Funco. The V8 is cool, and convenient without needing race gas, but I really miss the scream of the disco potatoe, the chirp and all the other angry noises it makes when coming on and off boost.

Wow, fast.

However, your BOV was adjusted too tight. If it sounds like a gobbling turkey, that's compressor surge you're hearing.

They make that noise because they don't have a BOV valve.

Hey folks,
I'm selling my sand rail, and if I get back into the sport I was considering a Funco, due to a ride I had in one NewYears. I have yet to find ONE bad thing writtten about them in any forums. That alone should tell me it's the way, or, A way to go. At first I had the impression they were just 'toys', but was AMAZED after the ride, and changed my tune! I have seen them out perform some of he bigboys out there. Is there anything negative anyone has heard, or experienced with them?
Just curious.


I had a Hustler LS2 S4S 4 seater. I absolutely loved it. I spent the extra money and had Greg George take it to the dunes and set up the suspension so I didn't have to worry about whoops and jumps. After that the car handled them great. All I did was make sure bags were set for the amount of people and sand conditions along with the tire pressure. Had my trusty piece of paper with all the instructions.

The very best for me was that the car was so forgiving. I made some whopping mistakes lots of times and the car forgave then every time. That to me was very important.
It was my car that Chad was driving that went into limp mode half way through the EPO race do to the fact that my not so wonderful mechanical ability didn't see a pin hole leak in the radiator. LOL

I've duned with many wonderful people and have seen some of the best go high speed through the dunes. Very few drivers or other brands can keep up duning with the Funco boys. But a few have achieved it and still do.

The George family is the best no doubt for everything you will need from a question to a part to learning to drive etc.

My car rolled 2 seperate times ( not with me driving ) and all that have to be replaced both times was the roof and the 2 little wings on the roof and of course the flags. Nothing else needed repair.

I ordered the Hustler V-8 because of it's traditional sand car look. However in my humble opinion I think the Gen 5 with a subie is a little easier and faster to dune.

The only negative I can think of is once you own one you won't want anything else !!!!

Hope this helps !!!!

well it is Friday and I am working and not in the duens, so I must respond...................

They might be ugly to some, but not everyone,

Some cars are like hot women (10), all show no go, I'd rather take an aggresive 6 for a ride than a boring 10 anyday of the week. At least that is my thoughts when hitting the strip bar, should hold true when hitting the dunes.
