Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...

the minx would prolly be able to keep up with the bugaty untill a certain speed where things start to lift
the minx is about as aerodynamic as a brick at speed not as wedgeshaped as a veyron

While I think the Minx is going to be a fun ride I can't see it being even close to competition against a veyron.... 1000+ horse, 4 wheel drive, traction control, etc.

I guess the gauntlet has been thrown FF. Fire up the Minx and whip out the vid cam!
