Default Slomaro is back

Feast your eyes and ears on HPE's new all motor LS1/6 car. Non C5R.

This was taken last night at 1 AM after Steven (slomaro) and I got it running... Still have lots of little stuff to do before N vs. S (including tuning), but we should be able to get it all done in time

I like the part where the girl puts her hand over her heart after he revs it a few times....either she's having a heart attack, or she's pledging allegiance!

hey coach, those are the weld aluma star 1-piece front wheels, man they look great, too bad they list for over $350 a piece.

By the way congrats slomaro and HPE, i wish we could make it to north vs south, would love to see it run.

Should be a pretty good running car. We shall see... Too bad it's raining here in Houston the whole week. Not sure if we're going to be able to make any hits before the race

Later,
Chuck

I dig those wheels. Know anyone that wants to buy my prostars?

It does suck that it is raining so bad here this week. Maybe ya'll can get out to HRP tomorrow for some test hits.

Good luck to you guys at the N VS S shootout.
