Looks way tuff with the archs an all, rear wheel drive mega power mini is allways gonna be a win.
Top build, only thing why not chuck another motor in the front for 500 bhp ;D

Was thinking about supercharging it, but for the cost it doesnt make enough difference to 1/4 mile times, and also makes it less drivable, which it is atm.

What do you use it for - track work or dragging? I found that the short chassis combined with such a heavy engine in the back made for "interesting" handling, which is why i went for a redtop in the front

That is as cool as a penguins gonad.
What I really like is how 'stock' it looks, even to the lump sticking out below the front valance so it still looks like its a 'normal' A series'd beastie.
