:eek: :eek: OK YOU WIN!!

Do they have a write up for that car? I've seen it several times, but I never saw specs for it.

Here is a better pic of the engine bay...

www.JIC-Magic.com has a little more info, as well as www.zielmotorsports.com

All they had were pics as always.

Where did you see the specs for this?

This thread's last post... The dude claimed he saw it in action and the techs driving it gave him some info on it...

This is another one with a post about a "claimed" 550hp, but that is why I said "supposedly"...It has not been verirified, or not that I could find...

either way It is a pretty well endowed 3rd gen from what I can see...I haven't figured out what they did to the gearbox though...No G-series will handle half of that power stock, so either it is a heavily reinforced g-series, or completely custom built gearbox...I will send some emails tomorrow to Ziel Motorsports and try to get as much on it as I can...
