[Wheel]

I love F1, and top fuel, but I enjoy seeing an oldie still turn a wheel in anger:
1905 Darracq V8

Or a 1911 Fiat S76 - 28.5 Liter 4 Cyl.

Porsche 917-30. I wish I could figure out how to post pictures etc. Ed

My 555th post. Coincidence?

I've always admired Jim Hand's 11-second Pontiac wagon. Two tons and running through mufflers.
Sorry about the video quality.

This achieved preferable valve orientation in relation to the block and rotating assembly but did not breach the rules around the intake valve angle in the head. It was deemed to be within the rules and they ended up with c. 65 more HP than the rest of the cars on the grid.

The pedant in me has to point out that the car in the picture is not a GTR. The extra bodywork behind the rear wheel make it an LT Longtail

The stubby back end ornament the car in the link below is a GTR

The long-tailed version of a GTR is still a GTR.

Consult p.265 of Driving Ambition.

I bought a '88 T-Bird Turbo Coupe instead of a Mustang GT in large part due to the NASCAR track performance of the body.

Same color as car in pic.

I totally understand, one of the best body styles Ford has ever made in my opinion.

That havoline Thunderbird was a slick looking car. Those 83-88 t birds in general were slick, but that havoline scheme was perfect for that car. Ernie irvan would run a throwback scheme in 96(?) using those colors, and it was just as good looking on a 96 tbird.

The Havoline scheme was great on Champ Cars too.
