Anybody seen this car on the net yet? I'll bet a lot of you have and have wondered "Who built this magnificent Wonder Beast"? Well I finally tracked him down and got in touch with him. His name is Gene Young of Indiana. Here is what he wrote back:
I still have the car, I have not to long ago just gotten it on the track.
I took the car to the last track day at Nashville Super Speedway back in October.
The car ran good for it's first time out, the rear springs I have on the car are too stiff so the car was really loose, I spun it twice that day.
The motor is a stock 2.3 out of the XR, with the bigger intercooler and upper intake it made 287 HP to the wheels on the the stock boost level.
I still need to get a rear wing on the car, and install bigger injectors.
And then more time on the track.
