Well, he drove 11.009 / 194 km/h last year with stroked 393 Windsor + tremec TKO and this year the time was a little worse due slipping clutch. Engine makes more power now with Victor JR intake and now he has 6 -speed in. At the track he really couldn't use all the power he has and as you can hear we spun the rears almost half the main straight . And remember, it's all steel with all carpeting and stuff inside the car.

An old story and lots of different combos tried after that .

Last year he drove with open pipes and voices were a bit different

I think Finnish HP is different than US HP, What is the exchange rate?

I think he needs better wheels. It doesn't seem like anything too devastating happened before it broke.



Is the car naturally aspirated? It doesn't have the lope I'd expect for 570hp.

That video definitely shows the hard way (although looks to be a lot of fun) to dismount a tire from the rim.  Thanks for sharing.

Jep, the left front wheel was cracked also for about 15 centimeters. Heavy nose, lots of speed on corners and a couple of offs with driving on the sand and driving over curbs. That's it. But it sure was fun and dangerous . Ville has opted not to buy real racing seats and belts for his car as he drives it on the streets a lot too. Not to mention about adding a roll gage that I have suggested for him several times....

Dang!  That looks like it could be dangerous.  I think I'd find a new type of wheel.

Off topic from Y blocks, but this is a video about Burn Out Contest winner. Nice handling of the car at that slot
