Yes, very nice, like the fact it is in an older car too. A well built race car is a well built race car, so what's not to like!
I think this appeared on another board a while back, as a 'musclecars are obsolete' type thread. That got shot down pretty quickly, it's a different way to do the same thing, it doesn't prove anything about V8's or musclecars, only if you turbo the snot out of a small engine you can make lots of power, presumably that isn't news to anyone? The rest of it -getting the power down, the chassis working, etc has to be done regardless.
Running those kind of times in anything takes a lot of skill, expertise and hard work, it doesn't just happen - so again huge respect to those guys, very quick car and looks good too
