To link in with the original question set - I would probably go for a 4.6-litre Rover V8 engine (i.e. derived from the original 3.5-litre unit and as used in the P38A generation Range Rover until late 2001) which I would commission Calloway to work on to improve its power output and breathing, before mating it up to ZF-derived automatic gearbox. It does not sound very exciting in terms of power output, but it is a car I would still look forward to driving on high days and holidays.

I like the idea of a ZT coupe with that 2valve supercharged v8 we read about earlier then rubbing clarksons nose in it because then he'd have to say what the people missed out on. 700bhp ZT coupe. What competition would there be?

That would be the last place I'd take them too, as their work is absolutely dreadful! For me, I'd find a nice low mileage V8, pop it in a Jumbo and get it over to Chip Foose, to build me a convertible with a bored and stroked Modular V8 with a Kenne Bell on top! |
