History
This has always been a race-car (Solid/no rust). This powertrain, was successfully campaigned in VSCDA and SVRA events by the previous owner: . . . "this “948” FULL RACE engine is very strong: . . . really comes on between 6500 and 8500 rpm.(pulling over 8500 rpm before the Brake point on a long front straight). Even at 8500 rpm, that little motor wants to keep on going! Speed: Running a 4:87 rear diff ratio, this computes to over 100mph before the Brake point. Even at 8500 rpm, that little motor wants to keep on going!” (confirmed at both Blackhawk Farms and Gratton.) I experienced the 948's performance for a couple dozen practice laps using a 7400 rpm limit. YEP! It is quick and, YEP! the little engine definitely has room to go.
