That walkinshaw owner is a real top guy. I spoke to him for a while at the summer nats, and he was more than willing to let me go crazy with my camera taking photos, despite rushing to get the car ready for the show/shine on thursday. Apparently he pulled 850 rwhp with the clutch letting go up top. He is confident he will break 900hp at the wheels and all the best to his achivements. Its an original walkinshaw and its really to the 'tee'. His waiting to break his gearbox (Tremec TKO ?) then his going for a high performance auto as he has had enough of manuals probably due to reliability issues. Stoney, it was nice meeting you at the summer nats, if your in melbourne anytime, give me a buzz :P
