It's a sick car no doubt, but I'm getting bored of the NRE videos. Burnout mobiles that's all they turn out, 8 sec power trains in street vehicles. You can't even tell what the car's capable off. The best one was the old man and the RX-7. This was just plain boring.

I agree, but at the same time they're building what people order.

I think it'd be more fun (for us) to see these cars go up against some **** on the street or see them at the track and putting down some numbers, instead of silly (but insane) burnouts all the time.

Considering most of the cars looks stock but have ungodly power it'd be tons of fun to go race a bunch of liter bikes, etc. and see their reaction.
Given they could hook and keep it straight.

If someone wants to buy me one I'll make all the interesting videos...deal? deal.

Id have to agree but I do love seeing the craftsmanship.

I would think alot of his cars would do well in the mile shootout! That's about it though...
I've seen a few of his cars on the street and in person and I will say his craftmanship is top notch.

How do you figure an 1800 hp chevelle with a 4 link setup and qa1 coilovers would not do well in the the 1/4? All the owner has to do is swap out the wheel/tire combo for a set of slicks/skinnies, you do realize that just about every video they have the cars are sitting on street tires right? I don't care who the hell you are, you are not hooking up 1000+ hp on 18+ inch street tires...

Sure you could. Set the rev limiter to 3k and you'll be fine..
