  1. Interesting experiment in 80-20 Weight Distribution.
    Left of the picture (right of the vehicle), is that a Train horn? Or a velocity trumpet of some kind?

    1. One has to wonder what effect the bugs, gravel and other detritus that the unfiltered turbo intake scoops up from being right out front and so close to the ground has on the internal components of the engine? I imagine the cylinder walls look like a grizzled WWII veteran's face after a few spirited runs.

      1. Not a good one, that's for sure. The turbo should chop up the bigger chunks, but only till it's out of balance and launches bits and pieces of the compressor wheel into low earth orbit.

  2. "It slices…! It dices…! It chops…! It can make Julienne fries…!"
    With the proper attachments, it leaves a trail of Bratwurst ejected out of the tailpipe…

  3. It is a 2.7 converted to a single turbo by KTR Performance. It was exclusively a drag car. If I recall correctly it never managed better than low 10's to high 9's because it snaped axels all the time. They claimed + 650 hp. KTR provides vintage racing support for all sorts of old Ferraris including a right hand drive 250 GTO.
