Okay, let me suggest an Audi TT convertible.
Chicks LOVE that car! - with an automatic transmission
of course.

I had one for a weekend
evaluation. The interior is quite tidy, but I can't get past
the "girlie" shape, and with a curb weight of 3400
pounds the 1800cc turbocharged four cylinder is a
joke.

It needs a workout with "Hans and Franz" and VW's
very good VR6 engine.

I once let a girlfriend
drive my Split Window Coupe to placate her constant
bugging me to drive it. After two blocks of the quick
ratio manual steering, the fast ratio clutch setting,
the Duntov cam, and the 80 MPH first gear, she pulled
over to the curb, switched places with me and never
said another word about it.

Don't recall a GF
ever wanting to drive my CV (they always wanted to
travel in the Mercedes), but I think the same would
apply.

Yes I do.

Al, I don't know what the fastest speed recorded
by a CV would be, but I somehow remember someone
using a CV engine in a streamliner at
Bonneville.

As far as the most power ever recorded, the limiting
factor for the CV is the structural integrity of the
Vega block. At high horsepower and high rpms, the
block's dynamic resonance causes a structural failure
(they will break in half). This hp limit is somewhere
in the 280 -350 HP area depending on which block is
used. I am going to once again explore those limits in
the near future with another turbo engine. I posted
some specifics (several times) about this engine (non
cosworth head) some time ago, so looking for the postings
will let you know more about that engine. I am going
to try building a turbo 2300 cosworth and see just
how much a seriously modified cylinder block can
handle.

Kevin.

Normally aspirated Cosworths max out about 285.
The EAA motors were listed at that and other racers
like Quindazzi and I beleive Pual Csabon were or are
running Cosworth Vega motors at 285 hp. I would bet money
that Mark Schwartz's turbo intercooled Cosworth has
the highest HP rating so far out of a 2 liter
Cosworth. Unfortunately, he has not had it on a dyno yet.
If anyone else has info to the contrary I would love
to hear about it. I know of a couple of guys who
tried supercharging but I don't know of anyone that
ever got one dialed in right. Later Chris.

Dick Myers indicated that his midget motor was developing over 300 HP on methanol. Dick Baumhuaer may be able to give some more insight.

As far as I know, Dick Myers midget motors were never dynoed. The highest figures I have seen were from Bob Higman's dyno, 288HP@8800RPMs, 2.0L on methanol.
