It was a one off car with 4wd. It also had a very strange transmission that was automatic with two torque converters, one for front weels and one for back weels. It was also fuel injected, but not supercharged. I think that is produced about 600 hp. When I get my garage cleaned out (maybe around 1988) I will try to find the article. PS: the claim was 0-60 in 2.7 sec. which is exactly 1G acceleration. At the time this was the mark that racers were shooting for. -- --------------------- Alan Fargusson. { ihnp4, sftig, amdahl, ucscc, ucbvax!unisoft }!drivax!alan
