Specifications:
Built in 2002 from ground up by Melbourne Performance Centre. They continue to run this car. No expense spared in the build and you will find it is state of the art in every area.
Debuted in Targa 2003. Since then it has competed in 5 Targa Tasmania's (including 3 podium finishes), Targa Wrest point (1st Classic), Targa West twice (1st Classic and 2nd Classic), 3 x Classic Adelaide, Rally Tasmania, Mt Buller Sprint, Bathurst Sprint twice and many other track events. It has finished top 5 in almost every event entered. The car is incredibly sorted and reliable and very fast. (Bathurst 2min.23, Phillip Island 1min.45, Sandown 1min18, Winton 1min32)
In this car you can enter tarmac rallies or track events and choose to be either extremely competitive or go for the crowd favourite. Or both. This will definitely be the fastest HQ in any tarmac or circuit event.
It is a big horsepower car that dyno's 443kw at the wheels, and I have just had it completely refurbished mechanically including brand new Chapman Heads, rebuilt bottom end and a brand new Hollinger 6 speed.
