The Rover SD was never meant to have a Rolls Royce tank engine and do 200 mph, but apparently they do.

Fensport produce some mental cars... truley awesome build quality too.
Their Gen 7 Celica ran 11's down the quarter mile on its first or second outing, after being mapped, which cant really be sniffed at.
I predict that car will do big things 
Oh, and Jr, just because the YB is a 20 year old ford engine, does that make it any more superior to a 20 year old 3S-GTE toyota lump??? I think not...
and any way, how much cosworth or yamaha is actually left in the cars we are talking about anyway... not much i would guess!

this argument again.
the 3S-GTE engine has won alot more than a C20LET engine.
And I think it might take a while to work out if the YB engine has won as much as a 3S-GTE engine.

it came into the argument along time ago. There has been quite a few threads about it.
There is alot of people on here who the the C20LET is a far better engine than the 3S-GTE engine or even the YB engine.
These people can be clearly identified by their rose tinted specs

Don't actually know what a 3S-GTE engine is, but I know the YBD has been kicking arse in Touring car, Rallycross, and International rallying events (not to mention all the Clubman level stuff) for two decades now.

3S-GTE is the Toyota pride and joy turbo engine from the past 20 years.

and i dont remember the Celica GT-Four being outlawed from WRC because it was too good
