TESTIMONIALS

Here's what the experts have to say...

"Just another note about the performance of the 710s. I now refuse to mention the fuel consumption of these motors to anyone anymore. The looks of disbelief I receive from other boaters when I tell them the amount of (lack of) fuel I'm using, has made me decide that everyone thinks I'm lying. Compared to my previous boat with the Mercs, there is no comparison. I don't have firm comparison numbers, but I can sure - happily - tell the difference in my monthly credit card statement!"
– Doug Walker, World Tower

"The first thing that showed up at our doorstep after we decided on the new powerplant was the Ilmor MV-10 "Viper" engine. Our jaws were dropped from the minute it arrived. Dressed beautifully to impress, the striking red motor was perfectly finished upon arrival. Every aspect of the package was completely thought out and delivered with confidence."

“Ilmor’s 10-cylinder powerplants also boast a proven track record as being exceptionally reliable – used for recreation or on the pro offshore circuit.”
– Bill Jennings, Poker Runs America Magazine, Volume 8, Number 1

“...coaxing the 600-hp Ilmor MV10-625s to 5,700 rpm and hit 122 mph before I had to back off because we were running out of lake.”

“...Ilmor motors performed beyond their expectations. The motors racked up some long days in the sweltering heat and delivered...”

“Predatory Snakes: Ilmor’s impact was not to be denied, and their light, fast, 625-horsepower V-10 was downright dominant at times. Among the standouts under Viper power: DCB’s 120-mph F-32, which ran 80 mph at 4000 rpm; Eliminator’s twin 625 30’ Daytona, a staggering $400,000, 140-mph stud; and Lavey’s hundred-mile-an-hour Sabre Cat, on a single 710 Ilmor. The Eliminator was solo in running better than a hundred at 4000 rpm. This engine is potent, and sounds like an F-1 machine – what's not to like?”

“Lavey’s hardcore 27’ Sabre, a driver's dream, is 100-mile-an-hour rocket behind turnkey Ilmor Power”.
