That is a pretty good engine and a light car(?kg?).
What sort of times and speeds are you expecting Ben?
Should be a solid ten second car in theory!

Marty is a Turbosmart reseller in the US, so it's quite possible he's here as a guest of there's... I'm sure the dubs will get a little visit from him.... Especially the turbo guys. 😁

I think Mr Staggs is more than a reseller. I would guess as the Turbosmarts rep in the US of A it was a company funded trip to visit what is potentially a big event for turbosmart products in Oz.
