That would be one to see in action.  You'd never regret it.

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.

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).
