Aah Firenzas! I must scan a pic of one my friend owned years ago. Rover V8, mounted solid in the body. Slammed suspension, caged and very uncomfortable to ride in, but loads of fun.

Have seen that at Avon Park, its rapid as! It's all tubbed out inside, full of filler and the wheels are filthy but I love it!! Have some pictures of it... Don`t stand too close when its running!! That's SidewaysGTM's car in the foreground... Has anybody seen the M3 in the background before, it think it has a V8 in it .

That Firenza as hard as nails! That's one of the cars that has inspired me to go for that look with the Benz. We were drooling over it at RCS, and gunning for it on the strip! Suuuuuperb!

Built by a certain Winston Sewell I think. Anyone seen it recently? This was about 14 years ago!

I kind of felt sorry for the Paxo driver (for a second). Then I just felt sorry for him for having to drive such a bag of curse word! ;D There's a time and a place for Saxos, and RCS is not it!
The look of that Firenza is something else! People I speak to when I say I want the Benz to look all ratty and in primer think I'm mad - they can't understand it. I tell them that when they have their own retro car they can to with it as they wish!
I don't know much about the car - what motor is it? And what kind of 1/4 ET does it do?

ive seen it on men and motors on the street car 0-60 challenge
i think its a XE with turbo(obvious) and nitrous...i heard he just builds them for power but not necesarily durability as he has access to plenty of cheap engine parts
i don't know if there is any truth in that
think its run sub 4 second 0-60 and sub 12 second quaters
ive decided anyway i have to have a ratty primer looking mental mobile.. must obtain

yeh street car challenge i think the show was called:)
he blew a nitrous hose then aswell so maybe the rumours of crazy boost and nitrous are true and he sacrifices durability and stuff
