That is correct.

People often get confused between the two, because the actual name for the Walkinshaw is SS Group A. Jeremy's VL is a HDT VL SS Group A.

is that for overall winner or the dyno comp.

I'm tipping the rotary for the dyno comp, the ferrari could be a surprise though

The two big turbo cars for sure 13b's in street trim don't have high power levels..

I can't believe the crap power figures for these cars, from what I saw of the Ferrari's engine bay I thought it would have put out a decent figure.

He said it was a new motor and he would have to sell 1 of his houses to rebuild it
Why does the rotary get to have water on his cooler im sure all of the cars could have benefited from having cooler air temps?

for some one who clams to be on the cutting edge of tech the rotor did not have a co2 set-up on the inter cooler the ricer fraternity have been using them for years now.
luffy is a nong if he screamed at me like that i would have pulled up and kicked him out of the car simple ruled get in shut up and hang on.

the show really needs to be an hour with more car footage .its a good concecpt but they have just done it poorly, maybe with a bit of fine tuning it could be better.

i thort it was rude of the rotary bloke to give the dyno opperator a hard time he was just doing his job properly

I dont know about others but i would have expected a little more from the 'worked' Ferrari... Probably because its a big dollar car and not just built for power and straight line...
