    They steer and hang on though! I'm a big fan of Hoosiers.

    Its a 302, forget the name of the builder but I know it dynoed at 500hp and it feels every inch of it. Has that gluggy lazy V8 feel up to 4000 then turns into a monster with a lovely Nascar hammering exhaust note.

    Sorry, I was too busy enjoying myself. :) Did I mention that someone had brought along a Penthouse Pet to be photgraphed with the exotic cars? Spectacular silicone work, if you like that sort of thing.

    you can buy Gurney-Weslakes new again,but their is far better heads out their.
    hewland would have to be a DGB300 or a 6oo only gearbox's made buy hewland that would take the torque.

    These NZ cars are/were fantastic.
    Can't remember the builder, we had one shipped to Broadmeadows for a photo session with jackie stewart back in 95 (?)...superb.

    NZ has a worldwide reputation for classic body construction skills and they deserve it. Kerry M had his 375plus rebodied there in the 80's, an absolutely stunning job.

    I love living in Australia, but I must say that NZ seems to have a lot more events on for old cars. You can almost find something on somewhere every weekend. And by this I mean racing, not social drives, and it doesn't cost an arm and leg to enter.
