ROFL. That's a good one! When I first acquired the Spitfire, I quickly realized that driving a highway speed limit meant 4000 rpm or more in top gear. Still 2k below redline but not exactly that quie

Last year I did a story on Vic Edelbrock and some of his vintage cars. Among them, the Smokey Yunick "cheater" Camaro for Trans-Am. Park it alongside a legal (i.e. Penske) Camaro of late '60s vintage

A lighter flywheel does not take as much time to spool up to speed. I'm not engineer enough (not at all!) to discuss how much can be gained, but it is significant. Can you lighten too much? You can l

There already was a Triumph TR10 -- quite possibly the ugliest car ever produced under the Triumph Badge (although the Herald would give it a run for its money). Think Mini without any of the Mini's

Kind of like we refer to the first of the Spitfire line as the Mk. 1, but that is really not its name. It is just the "Spitfire 4." --Rocky (bowing in humble obeisance to Andy and all those who worsh

FWIW -- when I finally "used up" my old No-Spin in the Spitfire, and no other limited slip readily available at the time, we welded one up. I'm fine with it. I race it GP, autocross it DP. It's been

sending this question to the list. Spitfire for racing purposes (Particularly autocross)? 6 inches. That's the rulebook max for both Racing and Solo. You can use any width tire you can cram onto it.
