Fairly primitive to today's standards.. But for a 260 ci engine it flew!! Which could be bought off showroom floor... Much like our V8's.. Can buy a Ford V8... They laughed at it and allowed it to race... Banned the next season... I'd say some cheater sneaky Pete N20 was going on too ??.. Interesting reading the comments... Mods posted here as not everyone opens YouTube forum... Graeme..

i remember someone saying once that the actual engine in question is here in Australia, someone bought it a few years back.
up until 7 or so years ago only a handful of turbo cars had run 6-second passes, only 3 or 4 that have run 5's. more and more turbo cars are coming out of the woodwork. |

Aha yes... I can remember when I thought 6 seconds was fast!!
How can they EVER improve on that ??? How much power would a F1 1500cc turbo engine make these days with tech and ECU around now....
