    Crikey! :eek:

    Stick a few turbos on it and run it on high octane petrol (far more energy per unit volume than alcohol), and that thing will leave a Bugatti Veyron in the dust! :D

    I wonder what type of gearbox he's using for that monster. I reckon a tank 'box would be a bit 'slow' for a race car, although he'd have his work cut out for him trying to make anything else fit it.

    I'd reckon a manual 'box from a Corvette (big block), Mustang, or so on would suffice, or even from a Ford F350 (that would probably be the best to handle the torque).
