QUOTE (phipster @ 21 Apr 2004, 20:47)Leaving the usual magnet debate to one side for a moment here.......
Surely they will have a different type of engine in the car? My knowledge of that era's car speeds is very sketchy, but I can't imagine that they would be as fast as todays F1s, or even some of the Le mans cars that are around? Will Scaley produce them with a "weaker" engine to provide realism, or will they match someof the newer cars speeds?
a little background info: the 1950 Alfetta 158 Formula 1 car already had a top speed of 180 mph (or 290 km/h), engine was 1.5 liter supercharged pumping out 350 BHP...
that is 54 years ago folks...... not much changed in the speed department
