Standard was 260bhp they only built one supercharged car for a record attempt  :nerd:

If you're going to use a 'nerd' emoticon when you're touting 'facts' maybe check they're facts to start with.

'they' would be Roush who built the engine, not MG and it was hardly a production model.

There were quite a lot of supercharger conversions about, on the basis that supercharging a Mustang motor is pretty common.

If you're considering the speed record car an MG model the supercharged uprated ones are probably rather more production than it was.

The 260ZT-T idea has legs.

The VR6 Syncro idea also has legs, although I suspect the drivetrain would find its way under a more Golf2 shaped body before very long.

Possibly better than both of the above is to pick up a Locost and go racing with the 750MC.... or just drive the sh*t out of it.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Oh hang on:

 :grin:

thats not going to happen

260ZT-T  is an intresting idea  and rover had nothing to do with makeing the engine so thats all good :)
E46 M3 bmw  not going to happen,  they have a bit of a reputation for going BANG frequently and are expensive to rebuild

something JAP and turboed is seeming like it may happen  possobly  a rwd datsun.
a locost chould be good fun ummm  much to think about
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

If wayne is talking about the ZT, there are quite a few supercharged ones knocking around, I saw 3 parked next to each other for sale at a motor show I went to at brooklands.

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

i love a good RWD. 

mazda rotarys are not going to happen they are fun and sideways when they work but the engines are very short ived and the cars all be it cheep to buy are nigh on unsellable and replacement engines are expensive and it probaly will need a replacement engine  :sad:
