Triumph Dolomite, with 692 BHP, and 500 ft/lbs of torque!! I've just creamed my jeans!

The chap said...
Low compression (7.2 or 7.3, i cant remember), big turbo, Cossie YB engine, 2bar boost (thats not quite full boost BTW), on Optimax, no Nitrous (tho it has 200bhp's worth ready to go on).
RWD in a Dolomite.

Nice useful powerband, especially for a 90lb roadster from the 60s.

I can't imagine how it handles in the rain. Like a bar of soap on a prison floor, probably.

I thought you were going to post the new Lancia Stratos. Prodrive chassis, ridiculous, over the top, immensely cool styling, just like the original.
