Default Gato Performance NEW project finally ready!!!

Many of you know of Gato and have probably worked with him in the past. He finally made a project of his own. The car was just turned on today for the first time and will hit the dyno here @ Delirium Motorsports very soon to be tuned by Kilo Racing. We wish Gato the best of luck with the car. It will make its debut at the Oct 4 NSCRA event so keep an eye out for it.

I hope this car lights the fire for more PFWD cars to come out and race again. I love this car but the overhang is way out there.

didnt look any different from other pfwd cars. especially when you consider the motor is much shorter than most 4 cylinder motors.

Congratulations to the GATO camp. I must admit seeing this Mazda 6 rotary up and running is going to inspire our camp to build a couple of motors and get running again. Maybe we can make the trek out there to Florida and do some match races. Mazda 6 piston motor vs. Mazda 6 rotory. That would be really fun.

That thing sounds great! Can't wait to hear it scream down the track


As a fan, I would love to see a grudge race between GATO and Bergenholtz.

My money is on the Cali boys
