That was a great read and one hell of a car, and honestly the first time I had seen the car as a whole.

That front end is incredibly sleek and modernizing, a very tasteful change for sure, love the less is more approach of the exterior.

Also from someone who has a 620hp engine and is kinda scared to let it loose, I CANT IMAGINE HAVING MORE POWER! Must be a blast from light to light.

Great build

Thanks man! It's a fun ride for sure.....and in the interest of continuous improvement, things will change. Getting back in touch with my engine builder after a few years and assuming I still have this thing thru next winter, we might make a few adjustments

On a similar note all things "attention *****", I thought SC kept the feature as an online version, but was surprised to see a nice 3-4 page spread in the July issue.

Thats awesome that you know have a physical copy!

that motor is not what you expect to be under the hood, of course im guessing if you hear the car you might have some assumptions.

Haha there is no deception with mine and its hefty cam ...... It rattles glass really well at idle

At the time the only intake options were stock which I have or sheet metal ( l92 heads). I think if I had a different intake I could get more out of it. I've hard a rumor of one I'm interested in but it hasn't popped up yet.

Thanks man....still on the fence with the filled in grille, but may have something different for next time it rolls.

Version 2.0 is on paper and will be a shame to tear it apart again, but now that I know where my interpretation of the "bugs" lie with this set up, it's time to make some adjustments.....power, suspension, chassis, etc. Should be fairly ridiculous when the dust settles.....

Looking sexy as always. I'm sure you touch everything up before a shoot but do you use anything to keep those Kooks tips clean? After a couple drives mine are pretty dirty..

Well, since the motor has to get pulled, I'll cover the shipping charges and you can send it to me.
