If it looks that ugly in a video, it's only going to look worse in person. That's a 50-footer right there.

Speed is relative. Barely being able to keep up with a mid 600hp 4000lb car is slow to me.

I guess your right. That v is pretty quick to Hes run a 11.2 at 123 he makes 630hp and 700tq. On the video the first 2 runs the v was heat soaking bad. On That last run the rx7 I guess pulled by 2 cars and let off

Can't please everyone. Speed is relative, but there's no need to be a cocky dick.

Your definition of fast is NOT the norm sir. We don't all have (******* sexy) tin cans with 1000+whp that run 140+ at only 1/2 throttle. You're on a whole differant level.

No, it is the norm. I don't get people saying 11 second cars are fast, unless all they have driven are 13 and 14 second cars.

Bad fitting replica parts. I will eat my hat if any part of his body kit is authentic. Fitment looks bad even faraway in the video. Don't know why the guy went LS1 either. Well built 13b's have gone much faster...

Damn, just watched the vid. How the hell does it look great in person when on video it's obvious not a single damn body panel fits properly?

The greatest thing that ever happened to that car was an LS based engine.

Boring? Yeah because going fast for cheap and not having to worry about your engine overheating is no fun.. The 13B is a loud unreliable weed eater engine.

I always laugh at people that make the "Oh look, Just another LS swap" Comment. They either Don't know what they are talking about or are pretentious ****** that think their **** doesn't stink. How you could possibly own an LS motor car and then fault a man for wanting to get rid of POS motor like a 13B is beyond me.
