I was flicking through our "Local" Perth Street Car Magazine and stumbled on an interesting article relating to Hi Performance "Tatum Spyder" Dune Buggies.
The one in the current mag uses a twin turbo LS1 with 900hp and coupled to a Mendeola transaxle.
Have any of you guys stateside heard of / know much about these. From what I can see these may be a good alternative to our current gear box selection limitations although they look like a heavily modified Porsche unit.
According to the info on the attached website they can be built to take up to 1500hp. They appear to have a selection of gear and diff ratios as well. In addition they can do a sequential shift option.
