    Cool Hairy-chested muscle

    dunno if anyone has seen this before, but its worth a trip down memory lane to when making a serious toy was creating a monster.
    this thing was created in aussie for $160000 back in 88'
    it was 1723cc, twin turbo, nitrous injected, ran a air shifter/ hollinger gearbox (coz it blew two honda boxes to shit within 100kms) and was good for over 250mph.
    485hp with 10psi boost on the turbos & 1000hp when the giggle juice was tapped in.
    saw it for sale 3yrs ago for $20000 so its still around somewhere, used for special occassions only i suspect.
    must sound amazing on song ( heard one with a 6-1 fatting it in the open, that was soul stirring )

    Not quite as full house as that but there used to be a guy in Chch with a turboed CBX1000 in the early eighties, I saw it one day in Kaikoura on the way back from the last Hawkesbury race

    Never let your enemy see your emotions, for it is the one weapon they will value most.
