Yes, this is the backbone of our company and hence the campany name. Formula 43 is a German "Spin-Form" process developed over several decades by our company President Ralf Guennewig aka "Spin Master" Ralf!

Very cool pic from last year with good friend of the company Gordon with his Pontiac Formula 900hp Firebird with RAD14 wheels. He spent nearly 10yrs building this car and if you know Gordon everything is perfect!

Thanks for the insight and pictures. I've always been curious about the process.

Where can we find more info out about the Formula?

Thanks

I don't belive Gordon did a build thread on the car. He is on Lat-G occansionally, but I know he's been busy helping Stielow assemble Mayhem currently

The car was featured in GM HIgh Tech Performance magazine about a year ago and Hot Rod did a photo shoot on it this last spring, but I haven't seen the write up yet. It does have a SM 400 single turbo, built by Thomson Engines in Wixom, MI.

Here's a quick you tube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4xEsA6ybvU

Thanks! I'll dig around for the magazine articles. I thought I recognize the car from a magazine. I just don't remember the details unfortunately.
