hi guys!
the 'newer' diasios, like bob bouchers (and george busch's) are called 962R models; they are powered by RX8 rotary renesis motors (250+ hp). a turbo is an available option (400+ hp). the earlier models were motorcycle powered; most by 1000 cc yamaha motors (150 hp). barry's is a custom built unit; powered by a hyabusa 1300 cc turbo motor.
the one in my races was an early model, with the yamaha motor. i think the guy was driving it kinda 'carefully'; his best laptimes were high 1:25s; i am fairly certain that i could have circulated the track in the 1:20.xx range if i had 20 mins or so in that car!
