Speaking of which, it's spelled "anal".

BTW, check his HP vs. Torque write up. Very nice. I would prefer if he added something to his final analysis about being able to downshift, but everything there is absolutely rock-solid!!

Hard to believe all that can fit into a 914

Personally....I would call it "someone who enjoys his toy"......

I love that car! I'd like to meet that guy some day.

I consider him a border-line genius.....very well thought out and executed...form, fit and function is all there......

Mike Z hit the nail on the head..."someone who enjoys his toy".
Call the owner a borderline genius is an understatment.
I'm surprised that the project only took him 17 years considering that he did all the work himself out of his garage.
I wonder if Dave Klum has his number?

Yeah IIRC this guy/car came up a ways back on the Pelican Board and the guy showed up and posted some additional info and answered a few questions.

He's an extremely nice guy. Ya gotta hand it to him. The craftsmanship is amazing.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb here.... but I bet the car is adequately powered and probably fairly quick
