I could never fit in that car, but it would sure make someone a nice ride.

I wonder what the reserve is?  A friend of mine does not have computer access (he is old school) he seemed a bit interested when I told him about this.

A busa engine would be great or go the other way and run a flat head V8 or go nuts with a turbine engine from a helicopter that thing looks like fun.

     3737 ran Sept '05 and first meet of '06 at Maxton, '06 Speedweek, and '07 WF. 

     Believe motor used [not in car now] wasn't nearly as developed as those others listed.  On a MPH per $ comparison , motor probably did quite well.
