Will be brought to race car spec and raced in Malaysia in 2004." Who bought it? Raced in Malaysia? Someone has read my mind about using these cheap tax-break cars here, damn! Malaysia punishes cars with big displacements with higher tax rates, so owning a 6-liter engined Enzo or a 427 cubic inch muscle car here makes no sense. But since it's a left-handed car it won't be allowed to be driven on the road. Makes sense then.

Another option would be to throw in a 308 or 328 crankshaft. A 50-60% increase in displacement will equal a 50-60% increase in hp, then make any boost adjustments. I'm told 24 psi in a 308 equalls 600 hp....I'll let you know in a few weeks allan fiedler (Allanlambo) Member Username: Allanlambo Post Number: 774 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, July 18, 2003 - 1:07 am:    Some work, 400hp, 3200pds, and youve got a quick little car. dave handa (Davehanda) Intermediate Member Username: Davehanda Post Number: 1305 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, July 18, 2003 - 1:07 am:    I especially like the 328 varient for some reason. They are neat, and just a little different....

Damn that would be cool, kinda like a baby GTO? Wonder what they are worth?? Is his for sale? allan fiedler (Allanlambo) Member Username: Allanlambo Post Number: 771 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 8:45 pm:    Went through some of my pictures and found these of my buddies 208 Turbo. He has done numerous mods to it, and is pushing about 350hp. Very cool little car. He also has a supercharged 308GT4, a 512 Boxer, and a Countach with custom intake and electronic fuel injection. He also owns one of the only real Bob Wallace twin turbo Countach motors which he will be installing in the Countach.
