All that effort and money for an awesome drive train... only to put it into the equivelant of a Ford Crown Victoria.... the blandest, ugliest and most boringly uninspired sedan on the planet...

And which is it?

302ci or 700ci? 1700hp from 700ci is not that impressive.

Yeah right... :roll:

1200+hp from 364ci is what you can get from a blown Chevy LS2 motor..

And again - what size is the engine? 5l or 11l?

There was an article about him in "Autofil" a year or two ago, I'll try to find the magazine in the closet and scan it.

What do you mean if the "Japs" had that car. Didnt someone make 2100 hp on a 442. Why yes they did johnny, at 9000rpm on a big block no less. Not sure if this was posted here or on tremek so heres the link anyhow.
