The August 1985 issue of Kit Car Illistrated featured a car I built and owned. It was a replica of a Prosche Speedster. What made the car special was that I built a reverse rotation Crazy flat six Corvair engine for it. It looked stock on the outside but when you take 9 inches out of a VW pan, add a plastic body and hang 300hp on the back you end up with a real terror. It was hard keeping the front wheels on the ground and the back wheels behind the front wheels. I sold it becuase I was sure I was going to die in it. I actually sold it to the uncle that helped on my current project. He sold it to a Dentist that wanted to give it to his son that had just turned 16. I was pretty upset that he would allow the car to go to an inexperienced driver. The car was as close to lethal as you can get.
