I cannot look it up right now, but I remember reading about the car
that you guys are talking about in moter trend around 1966. 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.
