That was John Carmack, the creator of the Doom video game. He sounds like a pretty cool guy as he has/had an upgraded F40, Norwood F50 twin turbo, and some other cool stuff.

I remember reading about the Norwood 1100hp twin-turbo Testarossa - daaammmmnnn....

FYI, Bob Norwood sold his shop a while back - and we've heard some pretty gruesome tales of poor worksmanship and worse customer service from the new owner.

Thanks for the pics!

Testa - I've seen your photoshop work. Come on, admit it, that's really a Ford probe that you chopped to look like a twin turbo 'Rossa

It's actually a vespa. Took a little more work but I think it came out fine

And this one from last year at Motorsport.
