This video popped up on my Youtube today https://youtu.be/WHO5K62TGLs?si=uDWNsgO994qmmxBO

Watching it got me wondering what was the fastest Twincam powered car that was produced? I thought someone here would be bound to know. Good video btw.

Did some searching.

On water - 11/25/67 Class "L" Parker, AZ Harvey Stuska L-64 Metisse hydroplane Lotus-Ford/Stuska 113.374

I knew Stuska in Denver Colorado. He built dynos and built the Twincam with Lucas Tecalmet injection.

On pavement - likely the Piper GTR 1300cc Twincam. Clocked on the Mulsanne Straight at 164mph.

There is no cure for Lotus, only treatment.

I wonder whether there has ever been a lotus twincam powered car run at bonneville?
