I drove in Boston once back in 86. A taxi to my right and I were waiting at the light. When it turned green, the cab driver turned left in front of me. What he didn’t recognize, was the van was a one ton with with a heavily reinforced step bumper on the front. The center where the license plate is normally mounted had been replaced with a piece of 6” channel. A piece of 1/4” plate had been added all the way across on the bottom. The truck with its low rear end ratio and diesel engine to which I had added a turbo would beat most cars off the line when the red light changed.
He lived.
Turbo add-on? No need to change compression ratio of pistons, I presume?
