Drive is firm and dam loud.  Not sure on power but it is scary, gonna get it dyno\'d asap to see what it is putting out.  Running at the pod next Sunday so we will see what it does on the 1/4.  Got to get the speedo converted, paint the bumper and find a new bonnet.

so whats up with the bonnet ???

is it just the fact that they weigh more than the car ???

looks a nice example though - and the mirrors - well are interesting :)

I could not honestly tell you...not enough though. I have not been able to get her on a dyno yet, as finding one in Germany is damn hard. If i would guestimate, i would put her in the region of 300, probably a bit less. At the fly.

Came with the car so i\'m not sure where it is from, i\'ll see if i can find out.

Rich - As for what has been done i\'m not too sure until i get it checked over, very fast though!
