Wow, might have to rethink 4 bangers. A whole 10hp per liter.

I plan on taking my kids down to see the "Mormon meteor" next spring. It was driven by the eventual 25th mayor of salt lake city for endurance racing.

Interesting guy.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

They also drink hooch that costs more for a bottle than a TC did new in 1988. And the hooch is older, to boot. LOL

I love stuff like that. I have been known to sit for hours and watch Youtube videos of antique engines.

My favourite part in that video is the moment the engine fires, and the whole car jumps from the torque. It's almost like a race horse shaking its head, all wired up ahead of a race (chomping at the bit, as it were).
