So that twin VR Rallye put out more power at the rear than the front? Interesting to drive I would have thought!

the twin engined one was the dubsport one, was a wicked car that, max power had that exclusive before it went in any other mag..


i thought max power was great for ages, i have every one from start upto about 2000, they were very bad in the later years, not read it since...

still got them all tho, and all the fast car ones too, and some Revs ones haha

[kells]

had a subscription to that from about issue 3 to when it became complete and utter sh!te

twin engine sounds very dubsport, the twin engine mk3 in pale blue was at inters this year.

yes the dubsport one, any more info on its current state, owner etc and any changes??
