DeTomaso Mailing List: October 98, Message #64

Mike Miller's car has the reputation as being one of the fastest DTDC cars
on the track (or is that just Mike's driving!), to me he was pretty
dismissive of 'high buck' engine re-builds (lightweight pistons, quad
webbers (fairly common among DTDC performance boys) etc.) so I think his car
maybe have a stroker....anyway from what I remember it is a stock looking
clean white GT5...
