oops Rick said a naughty word!
Looked good going around that figure 8 track that's for sure but it's a shame the tyres were so noisy that they distracted me from the sound of that engine

yummy

Herrod built engine , and our normal upgrade kit at tuner shootout it made 480rwkws with caltex fuel (yuck) on our dyno it has made 500 plus rwkws when tuned on shell or BP
Listen hard to what rick says in the interveiw , he said it was by far the best vehicle he had driven for fun and has too much power for what we were doing . he was actually ovewelmed with how good the car was . we knew we had no hope on winning the event so just decided to take the shop ute and have some fun. 500 rwkws , live axle manual wooo hold on . 9.5 litres per 100 kms
