Most guys build a tough engine, sure they’ll give it the odd squirt down the track, but for the most part they will never really see the real potential of engine or car. Then there are guys like Chris Attard who has built himself what is essentially a ‘race car with numberplates’. Every last drop of power is funneled through the driveline and put to the ground with the idea of utilising it ALL. Small tweaks here and there being made to keep on propelling the little LC to lower ET’s. Chris has owned his LC for close to 8 years and it was no slouch back then having already run a 10.7 with a small block 377. Since Chris has made a mountain of mods, infact the original owner didn’t believe it was the same car when he saw Chris at the track.

Top Gear Australia has now been confirmed to air in late September! The hosts of our Aussie version are Charlie Cox, Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati (pictured below), who describe themselves as the “ugliest men to go on television” will grace our screens, along with the Aussie Stig.

I’d absolutely love to see their audition tapes and even more interested in who the Aussie Stig is going to be. Have to be one of our current V8 drivers maybe maybe??

We’ve been piling on the tough Victorian cars lately, so we thought for a change we’d bring you a a tough NSW car. A 355 powered HQ Statesman built with drag racing and street cruising as its only duties. James’ Stato(KNG355) is no slouch even though it tips the scales at 1590kgs, it has run a best of an 11.32 to date.

We have alot to update on mercules this update - from engine to panels!The paint and panel has been finished (our side of it anyways) and we have had a chance to have a play with the motor finally! The block was stripped bare and everything dropped off at the local machine shop. One of the heads ended up being cracked, so brand new cast heads with all the problems of the original castings gone were ordered. The new heads have larger valves, intake and exhaust ports are visibly larger, redesigned combustion chamber, posilock studs and guide plates - have a look at the comparison of the old and new below.
