A good friend of mine just got a Toyota MR2. That thing is so nice. Real close to the ground, mid-engine. All he needs is a turbo for that thing and it'll be... ahhhh perfect.

which yenko? There are 3 of em. lol, only one sits in original yenko decorum though. That first red one I posted is a bigass E-Flow Turbo with a progressive 2 barrel weber and a 6 tube direct intake system, with waterinjection. The 6 tube intake kinda melted, as it was made out of Aluminum Warren aint the brightest old man ever, but he builds a killer turbo setup. This one in particular is capable of in excess of 30 psi boost, and has been dyno tested to create 300hp at only 15 psi boost. Gotta love those adjustable wastegates. 1/4 mile in 12.9 seconds, and its no drag car, its a road racer. Its not a true stinger engine, but the body is from a 65 Stinger. This one is YS-015, a 1965.
The red one with black accents on the side, and the "corsa x" liscense plate, I actually have a pic of the engine.

Its approximately 180 hp from 4 single barrel rochesters, not nearly as hot as the turbo, but still a damn fine engine. I saw one of these up close this weekend, damn thing roars like a V-8! Herb Berkman owns this one, YS-317. Its not an original Stinger, but after performing all the conversion himself, he was able to procure official Yenko status from Yenko Chevrolet in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania.
The last one, and only one in Yenko paint, I dont actually have any stats on, but as it has a bumper, a true windshield, and wipers as well as headlights, I'm certain that it isn't in any greater than StageII tune at 180hp, and more likely in StageI tune at 160hp, as Don only offerred StageIII and StageIIII in full race trim. I can tell you this much its YS-114 owned by Robert Landers, and its a 67 model.
Once into Stage 3 the engines start to get real slick with a pair of 3 barrel webers, one on each bank of cylinders. Stage5, Yenko offered Ram Fuel injection, which was illegal for SCCA racing, and thus none sold.
Wanna see something rare? Tim Allen Owns the much sought after Yenko Convertable. Very few of these made.

btw, corvair's dont have hoods, they have engine deck lids. They also dont have trunks. They have luggage compartments.

I could go several ways. A 1968 Mustang with to 289 HO, BDS 8-71 Fuelie, 4 on the floor.
Or
1969 Dodge Charger 440 hilborn style Fuel injected once again 4 on the Floor. Painted Blaze Orange with a confederate flag across the roof.
Or a 96 Impala SS
Or
A 2003 Aston Martin DB7 Vanguish V12 with a little tweaking.
But deciding bewteen these three would be like choosing your favorite child( or so I'm told it would be that hard)...
This happens to be the most condenced list I make. This really should have a good 40 or 50 or more listed.
But Read my Lips NOT A SINGLE JAPANIZE OR CHINESE OR TiWANIZE WILL EVER MAKE MY LIST! Boy and Girls I Leave you with This One piece of pure unadulterated wisdom <B>"THERE IS NO AND I MEAN NO, SUBSTITUTION FOR CUBIC INCHES!"
Thank you

i loved that car from "gone in 60 seconds", the one nick cage has to steal last. I'm not a big fan of those riceboy "honda" cars (despite being asian).
