That's not a turbo! It's a small jet engine.

the erm commentator got a bit murray walker..
Gotta love the noise a boosted s38 makes, but that's bonkers which makes me ask how come it's a 3.4? I'm guessing it's been 'altered' at some stage?
this sounds lurvely:

it's a SA car built by Budler Motorsport, the base car was once a 333i
not sure why is shows the S38 as a 3.4.. SA didn't get the 3.8 E34 M5 IIRC ?

That S38 does indeed sound awesome. as for teh 3.4, maybe its been destroked to assist revving/spool for the turbo?

Sorry, but RX7's sound utter sh*te.
If its rally cars your after then it has to be one of these.
or an E30 M3 with a carbon airbox
However, everthing sounds flat in comparison to Top Fuel!!
