Thats a pretty cool bus ,I noticed they were arguing about the way the guy was shifting or something about the clutch? Hope they make it. I guess the fact that they have already sent a porsche and a pantera packing says something for them. :D

They showed a view of the engine ( a few nanno sec. )and it looked like that it was a very long way from being a stock engine. Pretty van though.

It was a built type 4 they said the size but I didnt pay attention ,like you said it was just a quick look. They'll hang in till they have to do one of those crazy challenges. :roll:

did a lil research,still didn't see the size posted. The team claims it to be 600 bhp twin turbo Porsche motor. It's definetly a type 4 motor Looks to have a Cb performance fuel injection kit on it as well. (had trouble with the fuel return line)
I say the transmission will go Kaboom at some point if its pushing 600bhp. I guess thats why his buddy was harping on his shifting so hard.

the owner says..."its got a freeway flier trans. 2270cc type 4 with dual 44's. She holds her own for sure."
That trans wont hold that beast for long. :oops:
