Dave:
That car belonged to my buddy, Tim Roy. I rode in it and drove it many
times, and it was blazing fast! 2.2 turbo from a Dodge Daytona mated to a
Mazda 5-speed. He figured it was making about 150 hp -- just a little beast.
In fact, almost too much power for the car.
I wish I had introduced you to him at the show a few weeks back! Although he
has since sold the Turbo Bugeye and rebuilt a 62 Corvette, I think he still
has lots of 2.2 T spares and such.
