1000 HP 635CSI Drag Racer

This came to me via BaT. Something a little different.

Yes, I just saw this too and was going to post it :smile: Check out the intake system. It appears to be a modified Motronic manifold where the intake has been cut and reversed.

I wonder how long the engine lasts at 1000HP?

Didn´t Alpina do something similar on the manifold of the B7 Turbo?

Alpina made their own manifold which had dual "resonance chambers" and was a different from the later M30 manifolds. They also used the stock log manifold bases to attach it to the head.

This car has been for sale for a while. Hard to say if anyone would take the plunge on it. Certainly is a conversation piece.
