Lubley jubbley .

With a bit more precise driving I reackon he would've had the Lambo and whatever those other two were that ran away .

Particularly if it had been a dry day , it would've been much better !

Awesome effort :D :beer

I THINK its a starion 2LT block with an EVO 8 head, but it may be a full evo 8 motor. have a squiz at the dyno vid on there aswell..

From memory it's full evo8 engine top and bottom. There's a thread on starionturbo.co.uk about it. Totally nuts and totally awesome. Especially the wastegate screaming on full boost!

definately not a stock block, its a evo block for sure. the oil ports are all different from a evo8 compared to even a vr4 block.
