Do you really want a PP\'d road car?

It would be amazingly cool, and very fun.

If you want a project then go for it. But if you want something that goes fast and makes nice noises just get a decent engine builder to build you an epic spec engine + turbo setup. It\'ll be cheaper and quicker so why not

Bike ITB\'s may be a bit on the small side - unless you go with the semipp idea.

What do you mean semipp?

That\'s what I suggested 6 bike carbs, it\'d take up space, but still be cheap. Be like running twin carbs, just run them in pairs. I\'d have thought that with custom jetting they should be able to supply enough air and fuel. And jets are eassssy to replace.

Semi PP - Semi Peripheral port or hybrid engine.  Basically the engine retains the normal side ports and uses these at the lower end of the rev range, then smaller peripheral ports (smaller than if just using PP alone) are opened up to provide additional air induction at higher RPM/Power levels.It would most certainly need a lot of custom engine work and an aftermarket ECU to control it all - but it\'s been done more than once.
