Message	And it even had a T72 turbo on it. It was a single. Did over 700RWHP at the wheels. It was made by tuner in Florida called Thomas Knight from Knight Turbos. The car was in accident and only the engine survived the headers were lost. The motor sat for 2 years until it final came across to me (first to another member called None) and we I took the engine apart found that one of the cylinders was completely trashed. And the motor looked stock as well with almost nothing done to the motor at all. So I decided to just built my own car with a pair of 2835s. I probably know more about this engine and car than everyone else except Thomas Knight.
