thats just nuts! are those engines not the same ore very similar to the old f1 v8's? am sure clarkson said it when it was tested on top gear!

HOLY S**T

But i can't stop thinking what a poor choice of car/chassis!

That is just about the most insane/incredible/awesome/nutter project I have ever seen - FCS 170 BHP at idle

Speechless.

The Granada choice is perfect. With all the modifications, its not a granada anymore, so its not poor at all. ITs custom, and will look so understated when finished, but 1750bhp??? Not sure how the half shafts or the tyres would deal with that! I suspect custom wheels would beneeded too?

Loads of money spent though. They must have some serious business to have that kind of disposable for a project like this!

Fair play. Cant wait to see it finished. Wouldnt mind the engine either! Would love to knowwhere to get one from!
