    Does a 'hot rod' a Singer make?


    T-bars . . . no coil-overs --- or 964 chassis . . .

    No 3.6 . . . or 3.8 . . . . or 4.0, now . . . . . . . and definitely no Cosworth

    Any CF?




    If anything? ---- the orange car is why Mr Dickinson went on to make Singers . . .


    Same builder, granted . . .

    . . . but the same car?

    Singer engines aren't Cosworth, all are made exclusively by Ed Pink racing engines
    And Singer price is $525k (ask me how I know...)

    '. . . It started with the Porsche 964-based 3.6-liter, which eventually evolved into its Cosworth-developed 3.8. But for its latest build, Singer tapped Ed Pink Racing in North Hollywood to blow it out to an even 4 liters, with peak power delivered at 7,200 rpm and 315 lb-ft of twist at 6,000 revs. The pistons are custom Mahle bits, the crankshaft is from Pankl, with Carillo rods, reworked cylinder heads and a modified GT3 intake plenum by Jenvey . . .'

    wannabe implies that it's trying unsuccessfully to be a Singer, but it's not trying to do that. Rob's kept it the way it was before Singers existed since he doesn't need to build it into one.
