You guy's need to check this out. This has to be the nastiest tight track Auto-cross car I've seen. Awesome driver too. You need to watch the whole thing and check out the gran fanally at the end.

I figure the rear end is so light and the engine is powerful enough that he could just hold the brake, hit the gas and flip the thing over.

That was insane. That ending came out of nowhere! That guy could sure drive though....

That's awesome. Is that whining noise a straight-cut gearbox?

I heard that too!

I was thinking maybe it was one of those compact S/C kits that some people stuck on minis?!

I mean a real tiny S/C!!!

Thats hardcore. The engine bay looks refreshingly simple....wonder how much power that makes.

In those old Mini's that made ~60hp, adding a little S/C like that with no intercooler, would probably net a gain of about 30hp at 6 psi of boost (engine was like a 1.6L inline 4???).

Wow, that thing must be fun as hell.
