Thats great........................

From an engineering perspective its great, but I do wonder why people bother to do this sort of thing? I could understand it if you were putting the engine into a Supercar body like a replica group C car, but to stick it in an old shed, I really dont get it

Hardly an old shed with that level of rebuild & fabrication in my view.

That is seriously tasty. Bettered only if it was the BMW V10...

sounds familiar Leigh spotted a similar version out in Spain covered in viper decals and has a few pics of it, he reckoned it sounded awesome accelerating off the beach

Ilmor did show at Autosports about 6 years ago with a viper engine on display, think i still have that catologue

I met the chap who built that a few weeks back and he's very keen to join us on some of our larger events, he's based not far from ViperDave and Mike.
