OO OO OO I know!!

 

Engine rotated 90 degress clockwise?

 

that is kind of the obvious one...i was more going for why it was turned..

 

it does not have an intercooler?at least i dont see one

 

nice! we got it!

it is a non-intercooled, RWD 4g63 powered beast...when he broke the record, he was running "about 70psi give or take"...when asked about the lack of an intercooler he made a comment about how the air is only going a few feet, so a A2A or W2A intercooler is only dead weight..

 

how about this one?

this is the factory backed, 10 second 1st gen neon

it has an srt-4 valve cover,and its natuarlly aspirated(unless he is running nitrous which dont see) and it has 4-throttle bodies??

 

Yeah I"m not seeing the turbo that the valve cover is boasting...

 

and dont forget the biggest thing wrong with it...


its a neon....
