    Shineken posted a clip about a rear defuser but the entire car is insane
    F355 with a Zytek 4.0 500 HP engine. I wonder what tranny he is using, shifts real nice

    just watch this car work the turns. Modern 355

    Think I have a new direction

    The grip is just insane in that badboy. Runs like a F1 car with a body

    I respect that car, but it does not have a 355 engine in it, obviously because the one in it now does the performance much better. However, I feel as though the heart is missing. This one below sounds like it still has a 355 engine.

    Cool, Tim. That was posted a few months back and someone said it's a sequential gear box...

    Upon closer inspection you may be right. Aside from the looks both cars appear to be in Switzerland.

    Just the way that things chassis is set up looks great I would love a closer look at it

    Maybe worth a trip to Switzerland :)

    Be nice to see it on a track vs stock ones just to see how much faster it is.

    Awesome write up. I can only imagine putting a 650 hp small V8 into my Challenge car. Box up the factory unit and put into storage and have at it. Maybe my 914 project car needs a Zytec....hmmmm....probably well outside my pocketbook. LOL

    IF, and I mean "if", you really really really know what you are doing you definitely don't need a Zytec motor swap.
    BTW, Titan Motorsports didn't build or sort this engine...

    Tim, the Zytec motors are really nicely built but do cost some $$$$$
