I've dug out some pics of the MG from the days when it was a raod going show car to the track Slag that it is now....

The Hotrod look that ran 16 seconds on the 1/4 mile

The Bug Cather days when I ran low 12's.

And todays Blown setup that runs low 10's

I love the way you can see the stresses in the rear tyres. It really emphasises the power being put down.

Hi Perry,

I noticed the tyre distortion in the last pic too. Some serious power going to the road there!!

Does your 4.6 run with the factory standard bottom end if you don't mind me asking?

Yes Ron
The only non stock engine parts are:
Cam shaft.... Blower cam from RS
Pistons.... Omega forged standard size.
ARP head studs.

All the rest is original 4.6 stuff.

Ha Ha!!
Thats the name of the car sometimes!!

Other times it the name we use for who ever is driving ie, Me or my Son.
Cos thats when we become the super hero duo of "Track Slag & Pit Bitch"
