" I heard the Huntley zerba has 700 hp. at least that's what I heard.

The huntley 951 race car has a turbo charged 968 engine. That's why the hp is so high. I was getting hopeful for a second there. "


Well until you see a dyno chart, I wouldn't count on it. Subtract about 25% and you'll get the power-output of a similarly-modified 2.5L engine.

"Oh ye 4 bangers with little faith,

Must I remind y'all that there are 500+ hp normially aspirated 928's terrorizing unsuspecting ZO6 and Viper owners. "


Yeah, I saw Wayne in his 951 go up against THREE Vipers at Willow Springs a couple of months ago (<a href="http://www.nsxfiles.com/tcc_01_2_willow.htm" target="_blank">NSX Files Chapter 77 - TCRA at Willow</a>). One of them dropped out with overheating problems, and Wayne passed the remaing two! He would've won the race except that his shifter broke.

Hey guys, I just recently saw a race on the street between a brand new M3 and a brand new aston martin db7. Let me tell you, The M3 got burned so badly, I was laughing. I was surprised, I would have thought the M3 could have at least put up a challenge. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

if there was somebody that would know and was "able" to tell us, it's John.

If you noticed, all the races they list are like 3 or 4 years old.

The car very well may exist, and it is probably called "the zebra" (well, ... I hope so. ) But that doesn't mean that it is the "HUNTLEY" Zebra........

I understand, Maybe it's just a race car 951 with some of their mods on it. Thanks Luke.

maybe it isn't even their car who knows? I never heard too much about the thing.

All I see on the call that says Huntley is that common sticker (on the hood)
