A perfectly modified car for me is a standard shell with a bit of rust, plenty of trolly dings and a ridiculously modified engine

Sounds like my Corrado.

And to add the briefest of specs - lightened to circa 950kg, modified 2.0 Twin Spark from an Alfa 75 pushing around 200hp = 210hp/ton.

I know it's not an original thing to say but.. don't like those silly size wheels.
Good old minilites'll fix it.

I think the issue is minilites are 13 possibly 14inch and with a cosworth turbo lump you want some BIG brakes which clearly require at least 15s to clear.

Id have that car as it is any day of the week it is perfect.

..you can get good quality minilite (replicas) up to 17"s (although they only look any good to 15"!).

or one could do something really unique and try and get more Watanbe style 'minilites'...

i just think there are alot of people who put a tall intake manifold on and a big scoop to replicate dragsters without looking at the engine internals to gain more power so thats why i dont like the look of that car, fair enough if he is making about 500bhp then ill forgive him for looking abiit silly but you cant argue the wheels look st and a set of cragars would look better

If you look you will see its more than just a tall intake manifold, there are a pair of carbs, guessing Hollys, probably about 650 CFM's. and also part of a charger of the super flavour, as for the internals, how do you know they have not been totaly rebuild just by looking a picture ?

Somebody sort the quotes out please, I dont mind people berating a car I posted as it might not be to their liking, but atleast do it right!
