[PERUCH]

Clois,
In my country we have about 15/289 and 12/427 all genuine car anda lot of replicas but not your high level replica cars.
V8 noise is typical,French and European like because is very unusual ,these cars are loved for look and noise but not for MPG,you pay twice or more to fill the tank.
About race we have not dragstip except in England but are not popular.General philosophy about V8 engine is agricultural concept,but with your Windsor engine from 63 to now,start from 50/HP to 110/HP per liter incredible increase in performance due to several aftermarket parts and genious engine builder.Few years ago i have a race vs Violati's 330 Ferrari GTO ( 4 liters engine),easy win with my pusrod engine!!!,
Regards,
Bernie(
