Today's 160 mph 2.4 Liter Targa is...

A 287 RWHP 2.7. I'm currently in a discussion on another forum with its owner. It's twin plugged, 10:1 compression, running PMO throttle bodies and some form of EFI. That's all he can tell me - he just "writes the checks", and besides, the guy who built it has "spent a lifetime honing his skills" and would prefer his "secrets" not be shared on the internet. This is a street motor, on pump gas.

I'm trying to convince him it's really 187, not 287, which is still respectable for a 2.7. He's having none of it. The engine builder told him it's so, so that's just the way it is. Besides, he's spent a lot of money on this...
