| I remember watching some guy from the UK some years ago, must 10 or so...who also built a car with a Merlin engine. This car was yellow or gold and wasn't as crazy as this one...more road worthy if you like and it didn't have the blower...but what a car!! Good stuff nonetheless!

 | I also posted some pics of this car in another thread ages ago. But anyways, this is a very cool car! It holds the record for being the most powerful street legal car at 3000hp! I saw this car at a car show a couple years back and the display that comes with the car is almost as good as the car itself!

| Hey, NASA will be retiring all the space shuttles soon so there will be an abundance of engines laying around. Now, where did I park that 68 camaro!
