Hi John

Yup, here is their website and another dedicated to them. They are a group test drivers for some or other concern and if I recall correctly(I may be wrong), they have built up this 142S racer to keep their wits about them and not to fall into the duldrums of test driving. Beauty isn't she! I just thought they could have stuck to the original engine. But hey, thats the purist/love for B18 and B20 engines coming out in me!

No problem John

I agree, very interesting car! This is the sort of thing we want to achieve with our 142 racer but a little more conservative on the body work side, ie. no fibreglass bumper, rear wing etc. Really love the paint scheme too.

Did you see the link that was provided in the 142 Track Day Car Thread by Whitehorse? Shows you how many untapped resources are out there!

Speaking of interesting cars, can anyone tell me any thing about the attatched car?
