Description[]
Sweet 16 II is the descendant of Sweet 16. Although it maintains the theme of a 16-cylinder, front-mid-engine hot rod, Sweet 16 II has been redesigned into a streamlined open-wheeler with a closed cabin. The exhaust system was greatly truncated; rather than twin manifolds which combine the pipes on either side, all 16 cylinders of the updated model's supercharged, 4.0 liter engine get their own exhaust pipe.
Sweet 16 II starred as car #26 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Charlie Raffa from the Dune Ratz team.
