Thanks for posting, looks to be worth a watch. Wasn't the last car in the taster the Zappa's Tuscan V6, with the Ric Wood GA?

[Slow M]

They've fitted a V8.

[GAjon]

Why was that ? They sleeved the bores to meet regs, are they running in a different class now?

[Slow M]

No idea as to their reasoning.

Best,

John in talking with Mark Zappa he decided to switch to V8 Power as the V6 was very costly over there to maintain at peak performance levels competitively.
His Ric Wood engine i believe has come back to the UK and they fitted the V8 as maintaining a race spec V8 in the US is far easier and less expensive over there as parts etc are so much easier to obtain and plenty of V8 race specialists there as well

Yeah, I can see that being a sensible way got go, I would think they got good money for the GA and can get more bang per Buck going V8 in the states!

Thanks for the info! ( I wonder where that GA is?)
