  1. Anyone know the power plant on that?? Those were originally Ford powered right??

     

    The massive 7.0-liter V-8 engine is assembled in a squeaky-clean room that's appropriately dubbed the Speedlab. The motor is loosely based on Ford's NASCAR racing engine. It retains the Ford mill's deck height and bore centers, but the block has been redesigned and cast in aluminum rather than steel, a move that Saleen vice-president of engineering Bill Tally says saves about 150 pounds.

     

    It's a pushrod engine with two valves per cylinder. That may sound a bit low-tech for a $400,000 car, but we're convinced of the packaging and low-end-power benefits that such engine architecture allows. Tally says the pushrod 16-valve layout is compact and permits mounting the engine low in the chassis. That also lowered the car's center of gravity and made room for a low-end torque-boosting tower of nine-inch-long intake runners.

  2. Also this is our LAW on street racing

     

    4511.251 Street racing.

     

     

    (A) As used in this section and section 4510.036 of the Revised Code, "street racing" means the operation of two or more vehicles from a point side by side at accelerating speeds in a competitive attempt to out-distance each other or the operation of one or more vehicles over a common selected course, from the same point to the same point, wherein timing is made of the participating vehicles involving competitive accelerations or speeds. Persons rendering assistance in any manner to such competitive use of vehicles shall be equally charged as the participants. The operation of two or more vehicles side by side either at speeds in excess of prima-facie lawful speeds established by divisions (B)(1)(a) to (B)(8) of section 4511.21 of the Revised Code or rapidly accelerating from a common starting point to a speed in excess of such prima-facie lawful speeds shall be prima-facie evidence of street racing.

    (B) No person shall participate in street racing upon any public road, street, or highway in this state.

    © Whoever violates this section is guilty of street racing, a misdemeanor of the first degree. In addition to any other sanctions, the court shall suspend the offender's driver's license, commercial driver's license, temporary instruction permit, probationary license, or nonresident operating privilege for not less than thirty days or more than three years. No judge shall suspend the first thirty days of any suspension of an offender's license, permit, or privilege imposed under this division.

    Effective Date: 01-01-2004; 06-01-2004; 06-15-2006

     

     

    The part i bolded says "Persons rendering assistance in any manner to such competitive use of vehicles shall be equally charged as the participants." but i dont know is spectating is considered assistance to the street race.

     

    In that definition, "rendering assistance" would be one of the guys blocking off roads, slowing traffic, etc etc.

     

    If you are strictly an observer (standing and watching) they can't charge you with 4511.251.
