Went to see the the 25th anniversary race of Historic Race Finland.

Picture galleries from the race:

This car is perfect and has an awesome engine note. I believe the engine is based on a S54 and revs to the moon without a hint of hesitation.

Hell yes. Racing Opel GTs are best Opel GTs, especially because:



Also, what happens when a BMW 540 and a Nissan Skyline GT-R have a drunken three-way with a Volvo Amazon?

This. :stonk:



I think the only thing I'd change would be a more vintage-looking wheel setup, but come on. 750hp AWD Amazon. And it can be yours for about $41k.

We could have all sorts of fun. Turn 2 1.0 ecoboost engines into a 400hp 2 liter i6. Our 4 of em into a 800hp 4 liter quad turbo v12

2 Mercedes m133s into a 750hp 4 liter straight 8, stick it into one of those old school tandem rear axle staff cars, invade Poland.

If I had money to burn, I'd get a mad engineer to mate two m133s and stick it in an old viper chassis. Hell, get two of engines Ford is using in the RS.

This is very close to my dream of a Ducati-powered Caterham/Atom. It would probably spend more time under the wrench than on the open road, but the sound would make up for it.

With guys making 1500hp with a 6.7 liter these days, you have to wonder how much power you could squeeze out of a 1-71 or 2-71.

A 200hp 2 stroke 2 cylinder engine would make a hilarious noise.

just a little motor with a blower the size of the motor, and a turbo the size of the blower.
