The John Greenwood-style Corvette wins this one, IMHO.

Can we count things like the Daur 962 or EB110? Actually I don't care, I do count them.

For anyone interested these guys have the original Corvette GTP molds and will build your mid engine dream machine for you. I've toured the shop, the owner is super cool and very enthusiastic about his cars.

Well Jimmy, there comes a time in every young man's life when he starts to feel certain ways about certain things, don't be alarmed it is perfectly natural what you're going through. Box flares trigger a primal urge in the male brain. Nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of.

Looks like one of the turbo Koenig creations of the late 80s and early 90s. Their twin turbo testarossa is still in my top dream cars ever. (Impressionable kid at the time)

Is that a widebody 4 eyed Fox race car with a Cosworth engine? Pretty sure that's what I'm looking at here.

I'm not familiar with it. What was infamous about it?

It was a fairly "liberal" interpretation of the rules... At the time it was described as more Can-Am car than IMSA racer.

Funny you should say that! Just yesterday I had to (politely) ask someone's turdlets to vacate the premises. I'm only 31... I feel old.

Indeed. I'm surprised at the power numbers they are claiming though.

Read it carefully, there's a little Obfuscation going on in that line. It says 'this race car is capable of cranking out 320-350 horsepower' It doesn't say it is cranking out that power. No 1,600cc BDA made that power originally, probably the max 'back in the day' from a 1.6L was around the low 200's. I think the max 2.0L NA versions were making pushing 300hp. All very impressive for the 70's and early 80's. I've no doubt that with 30+ years experience there's someone making 350hp on a NA 2.0 or 2.1L BDA, but I doubt it for a 1.6L

Apparently, someone in the UK has a road legal Group 5-style Capri with turbo F20C power.
