Coop- Not really sure... Timothy- they may have outsourced much of the work. He did mention that only the stock conrods were retained. No ideas for an F40? Wow, the F40 is probally the most 'tune-able' in terms of remaining potential for power alone, of any F-car I can think of! Easy to get 650-700hp out of an F40. I was unsure what series the car ran in as well, I can't imagine it was legal for much. Oddly enough, though it sounded kind of like a top fuel dragster tyring to 'idle' (only lopier!) the F1-tranny equiped (also modified heavily from Challenge spec they said) car was quite easially/expertly manuvered in the very tight concorso parking configuration. This may be more testiment to the driver than the car, yet a remarkable feat by any measure. | ||

They did a great job repairing my F40 when I fish tailed it coming down out of the Palisades, as far as engine work, they are average, if they got 250 out of a 360, I suggest they had extra help. Not many suggestions for the F40. | ||

Nice shots. Is that a MoTeC ADL in the center of the dash? | ||

I saw their converted challenge car at Concorso, impressive. The thing barely idled (that is GOOD! Means cam can really wail!) He said it could touch 250, and was faster than a 360GT. Best! Ben. | ||

How 'bout that - I dropped off something at 2140 Cotner tonight, as I do 2-3 times weeknightly. Is it completely sealed off at night from window-droolers? | ||

Has anybody ever hurt of these guys? They work mostly on Ferraris as well as other exotics... They are all Italians and really cool to talk to. Invited me to come back to chit-chat. As one can see, the shop is meticulous.             |
