I'm thinking that too  It looks like it's had the middle cut out and then had some box section put in.

1800 16v is a better engine than a turbo engine anyway. its not about the numbers, its about the delivery.
should be seeing low 13's on the strip next year indeed. top work.

Lol thats a big block though totally different kettle of fish to a x18xe1.
Its the smallblock 1800 that has the power delivery to rival a let.

the slam panel doesn't matter non structural part of the car.. only there to hold bonnet down and lights in place.

what keeps the wings together then? without the slam panel the wings would be free to weaken on the chassie legs surely?
