Ok, impressive.
But what do we have, 2500 pounds optimistically, more likely 3000 or more.
My Spyder weighs 1476, so if I had about 250-260 hp and a huge set of brass balls, the same power/weight ratio. Easily done with an EFI turbo on a type1.
But, I'll never have that flat6 sound though.

I really doubt the car these will go into will even hit 2500 lbs, Dan.

... and as for the 250-260 hp turbo Type 1, that engine would last about a season hammering on it in the real world. A dead-nuts reliable 170-190 is way, way better.
