Anyone here guess what this, well quite frankly cr%p chassis comes from?

It's no wonder looking at the brainless effort that they fair so badly in crashes... Rescued attachment chassis1.jpg

gt-40?


Doug68 - 18/4/08 at 05:21 AM

MkI McWhippy?

Mid engined but not a GT40, the roof is wrong, not a Lambo (too curved).

No more ideas than that.

I think i would say R8 aswell

ferrari?


nib1980 - 18/4/08 at 06:33 AM

Lotus Europa

Dino??


Mr Whippy - 18/4/08 at 08:23 AM

oh only one of you was even close

give you a clue, it has the engine joined to the gearbox by a big chain but it's not a BEC

I knew two people who owned them and all they're cars did was sit in garages waiting on parts.

well done mookaloid

The chain drive probably gave it away

A good engine housed in a terrible car, anyone who's looked over a classic Ferrari will know just badly built they were. Now that I work for an Italian company I can see why

I can find no mention of the Testarossa being chain drive...where did that info. come from?

Just curious


blakep82 - 18/4/08 at 04:59 PM

i can only find that the water pump was chain driven from the crank, but thats it...
