There are no core charges with GTX frames. The part number for the GTX frame is C058-BB352. A rear bumper is included as part of the frame. The frames are supplied with front beam clamps, pedal stop, computer mount, engine fuse block mount, adjustable shift assembly mount, camber compensators, our unique fiberglass floor pan, and a fiberglass shift assembly cover. The rear of the frame is designed for the installation of the complete drive train and front suspension from a 2006 thru 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt or HHR, as well as the shifter and throttle pedal assemblies. The GTX frame, which can be purchased separately, is designed to use a traditional Volkswagen Beetle front suspension, and steering box. A modern power train wrapped in a classic style body is the signature theme of the GTX. Powered by an EcoTec water-cooled motor with a GM automatic transmission, the GTX series of cars is unique to the world of aftermarket automobile hobbyists. Considering it powers a vehicle weighing approximately 1,600 pounds, it doesn't take much power to get this new Meyers Manx rolling.Welcome to the GTX series of fiberglass-bodied Dune Buggies!īerrien Buggy by Acme is now producing a totally new series of fiberglass-bodied dune buggy frames and bodies. It produces 130 horsepower and 130 pound-feet of torque, though forced induction versions can reach upwards of 300 hp. And while radial engines usually conjure images of tremendous smoke clouds on startup, this one is modern and smokeless. To prevent hydraulic lock in the lower cylinders, a compression valve with a scavenger pump pulls oil that might seep past the piston rings. The engine's internals are LS components from General Motors, and it's fuel-injected with a 6,000-rpm redline. The unique design doesn't use any belts the alternator is chain-driven and there's no power steering pump or air conditioning to fuss with. The one in this modern Manx is a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter three-cylinder, and though it looks like an air-cooled mill, it's actually water-cooled. However, as Meyers Manx Chairman Phillip Sarofim told Leno in the video, the company tested the engine first in a VW. It comes from an Australian-based company called Radial Motion, which developed it for light airplanes and gyrocopters. Rather, it's the party piece for the new Manx because it's a bonkers three-cylinder radial engine used for aircraft. In place of the traditional air-cooled four-cylinder VeeDub engine is a water-cooled three-pot, but the lack of a cylinder does not hamper this dune buggy in the least. Actually, some might say there's an omission here.
