Chris Wilson Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I want to see someone put one in something so light you can lift two wheels off the floor with one hand. A kit car type thing. Basically, I want mental speed. I'd probably go for a V8 though if I were serious about it. Once you stick a cast iron block 3 litre straight six twin turbo in something light it becomes something heavy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dying to have a go in the Atom V8. Always fancied a go in the Chevy smallblock Caterfield things people build from time-to-time too. I'll be honest though, since I've started testing with my single-seater I don't think road cars are ever going to seem the same ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I absolutely LOVE it. More than I ever imagined I would. Had a bit of an incident at Silverstone with a Formula Renault on my first outing, coming together in Brooklands (he said afterwards he didn't think it was my fault - he was behind another Renault that I let past and dove for a gap that wasn't there), but I learnt a hell of a lot that day and managed to get the car fixed for the afternoon session. Enjoyed every second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 That's one hell of a lead you've go there Have you raced it yet? There'll be no going back now, faster and faster cars will be the only fixes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Not raced it yet, no. Just testing at the mo. I'm going slow to go fast! Hoping to slot some in this year and with luck a full season next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
