{revisited}Remember the Car&Driver magazine article May 89-What ever happened to#005?

[*89x2*]

I take it this #005 was built differently than the others??

other than "prototype" Aerobody panels, Nope...

That's the car that caused everyone to fall in love w/ the Aero

Ahh, and what a sweet love it is.

So, I assume that Z.R. was able to TWEAK all that extra power and torque w/o any additional parts!

Very impressive! One day maybe I'll start playing around like that. I'm afraid of breaking things, though.

He had a few tweaks

(look back to the first page of this thread for the specifics )

Dear lord! I can't believe those internals have held up to that kind of torque. That is absolutely stellar!! Gotta love the turbos and their nice steady rise in power with no sudden shock. Damnit I need to buy one of these things after I get a house.
