Mika Salo's personal ride

[Corvette]

Mika Salo is a Formula 1 driver for the Toyota F1 team. He has formerly been a Ferrari F1 Driver.
I thought the board members might be interested in his stable of "personal" cars.

This answer is to one of 100 questions asked him in an interview on the F1 Live board.

"82. What cars do you own now?
Amongst others I have a Lexus IS 300 as well as a Lexus SC 430, a Lexus RX 300 and a Toyota RAV 4. Then, for fun, I have a 550 Maranello Ferrari, a 32 Model Ford and a '69 Camaro, which has a Toyota GT1 engine in it - twin turbo V8. It's mega!"


By the way, a Twin Turbo GT-1 engine produces around 1100 horsepower in sprint tune. Not all "Hot Rods" involve big American V-8 swaps.

Interesting swap, However I feel like a first gen Camaro should have a chevy engine in it, so I think that new Indy motor would be pretty cool sitting in a 67-69.
