Huh, Bob Norwood is a famous Ferrari tuner. He made an insane twin turbo testarossa around '90 or so. It was like 1200 hp, but he had to tame it down because the drivetrain kept grenading.

Carlos Hathcock, he was the vietnam sniper you speak of. Made the BEST of what he had, and I think he had parkinson's disease at the time... Or at least the early stages by normal shaking.

yeah i remember also watching a program with a sniper competition between the US, the brits and the canuks i believe.

"what car did he put that flat 12 in? it had a train supercharger on it. heh."

i also remember reading about that not too long ago, he fuggin built his own centripetal supercharger before there was such a thing on the market. he took a huge turbo, took it apart and kept only the compressor, fabbed up a gear drive, slapped it on his flat-12 ferrari and ran some crazy ass times and got booted from the track. he was talking about it in a magazine article that came out within the last 6 months.....now if i could only remember which one

fucking sweet, look what i found (http://www.bobnorwood.com/Un-Salted%20Flat%2012-Power.htm)
