yeah the car is at Summits Point for testing, the goal when that was originally designed was to go 200mph, he wanted to use a ford motor, i kept telling him go LS1, surprised they changed their minds. I dont think i had any influence on that decision but its funny cause they are such a big Ford fan.

I spoke with Nate he's the operations manager, he told me magnacharger gave them a supercharger for the car. I told him to go talk to Don about tuning and everything else they need done. I hope he did stop by. Be good exposure for Dez Racing to have their name mentioned for tuning the car. Its gonna be huge once it goes into production.

$20,000 for the kit, probably cost $35,000 complete maybe less. 2200 lbs, throw a H/C package and you got the greatest supercar ever built for under $35000, who needs a new C6 for $60000

wish i was rich

A few nice cars this year.All and all the show was week this year. The only cars that looked nice were the supercharged aerodescent blue corvette,the paint job on the saleen cobra was was nice too. I like shades of blue specially when it changes colors. I thought that the bikes were a better attraction this year. I hope the turnout of cars is better next year,seeing how there weren't that many this year. Oh well.

Thats funny, they probably did that so they wouldn't have to clean the brake rotors, or clean under the car for that matter. WHAT A JOKE

The whole cotton thing still confuses me. I can kinda understand the fake smoke thing, but most of the imports had cotton all over the place, stuffed in the engine compartment, under the car, around all 4 wheels, pouring out of the doors?????

Maybe its supposed to be pot smoke, like they just unrolled a window after 45 min of bong hits.

Vinny, its hiding dirt,scratches,brake dust, stains ect ect. it is easy to throw some cotton on it rather then vacum and clean the wheels. hehe
show is going down hill.
