Re: Twin 16v Motor pics and site

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

The site did say that each motor was running at 275hp (2.0 or 2.1L 16v on a
serious shot of nitrous).  That would make it 550hp total.  Sounds like it
could be done!?  I'd love to take a ride in it!!!  I wonder what top speed
would be?  I am sure it would only be restricted by gearing!
