that is Bill Newlin's old race car....former GGR TT car. Back then it had a highly stressed 4 banger in it. He used to rebuild the motor at least once per year...

car is very light and was lightening fast even as a four banger.

car did a 1:40 in 1998 as a four cylinder car, at Laguna Seca.

I have been on the track with this car when it was still a 4 cylinder.

I can imagine what it would do with the 3.6L

Someone told me it weighed in at 1349 lbs. "with" the wing!

Eric,
It probably did with the 4 cylinder motor...

this car was quick as a 4. not many 4 bangers that can spin those big slicks and he use to do it regularly back in the day.

I have been drooling over that one. It would make one sweet race car.

The story of that car was written up several years ago in Excellence.
