    MoveLater2 Mini Muscle Cars

    The engineering behind these is amazing. The XB coupe (and a HQ coupe soon) are about 80% scale of the real thing. Full space frame, custom transaxle, full fibreglass shell and the beating heart of a 4.0lts Rover motor.

    I would have gone for a bigger capacity & higher horsepower engine. Four litres no longer cuts the mustard. My choice would be one of the aluminium Nascar or sprint car small V8's. Whether Chev, Ford, Chrysler. I saw a Mopar Performance aluminium LA engine for a sprint car on the dyno at Stu. Van Dyne's shop in Huntington Beach. Quite impressive. Tres. Van Dyne told me they can be set up for 800 to 900 horsepower subject to owner/crew chief's courage.

    A bit over the top IMHO (HP & $$) considering they are probably targeting a reasonable budget in a controlled class.

    The Ford of course, him being a discerning and intelligent gent.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    No hand made race car is going to be cheap. Give it some horsepower. Those US engines are available off the shelf at very reasonable prices. By the way, you do realise "controlled class' means creative cheating.
