Milledge motor?

Yes and
YES!
Too bad that engine isn't in a real track car, not a blinged-out sound-wagon like that.
Everytime I see an engine like that in a car with a friggin radio I get confused.
Take care!

After spending a few hundred grand, what's another few hours of time to sell the stereo to Lart?

LOL at the idea of somebody contending they spent over $200,000 on a 951. First, a "master motec technician" as is claimed does not have that kind of money. Further, anybody that has that kind of money can easily pay a couple thousand dollars to have the car completed.

It's unlikely the seller is a competent Motec tuner, otherwise this part of his text would scare most from this car.

I sent a question to the seller about the transmission. My question based on his list of mods, specifically this, REGEARED GEARBOX WITH LSD / 968 6SPD.
If I get an answer I'll share. Many of us have researched either a larger R&P gear or longer gears. VERY EXPENSIVE, and the Vette six speed made to fit has similar cost to making the 968 box with either a larger R&P gear or longer gears seem too expensive. Note: We still have the issue with a trans box designed for a 300-400 hp car vs making the six speed ZF rear mounted trans designed for 500+ hp Corvette's.

But hey, whatever floats yer boat I guess!

Also - without the people who do spend that kind of funds and time on these cars, a lot of parts out there would never have been produced and designed, and therefore not available. Yes, really. At the end of the day, these are the people that keep the industry alive and kicking.
I could be wrong here, but since it seems to be a street/track car, yes you would need a MoTeC technician, I don't think its really a matter of 'completing' it. You'd want to change the fuel map between street and track.
Take care!

It was stupidly cheap at $31k for what was in there. Maybe not as much by US standards but by the rest of us that is....

I know this car. Just saw this thread. The whole story behind this car is like a bad soap opera. I witnessed it and still shake my head.

Oh and just to tie a couple of things together......this is the car that had "someone's" shiny aftermarket intake on the original engine that was dyno'd and then tossed.
I also got stopped in this thing by a detective for speeding......that was back when it had the Vitesse stuff on it prior to the 16v engine. Oh the memories. lol

Also, on an unrelated note, I think I recall seeing the same skull and crossbones sticker in the 944 GTR picture thread a couple of years back. Is this a coincidence, or does Michael Mount have some connection to the builder of those cars?
