An all-inclusive vacation to Tahiti, French Polynesia. We sprung for the overwater bungalow too. It was glorious.

David Mancuso, RA Principal Architect, Principal Probably not what you were expecting as someone’s splurge item! It’s physically big, but small displacement. It’s only 281 cubic inches (Ford). Some of the people I’ll be racing against have 900+ cubic inches. I’ve always wanted a four cam motor because it’s easy to get them to make a lot of power. With my single 80mm turbo it will make around 1,200- 1,400 horse power to the wheels. It runs on alcohol instead of gasoline which helps to make more power. It’s going in a 2003 Mustang. We have a lot of tracks (drag strips)down here but mostly eighth mile. My tuner expects the car to run about 4.7 seconds at 150 mph. In the quarter mile it should run high 6 seconds at about 200 mph, give or take a few mph.
