I thought that is what you said when we were talking about it at the Shootout, you better put your big boy pants on when you get there .

Seriously..that will be a wild ride, so hang on tight....might need a hand with a starter again some day

For some people it's about the build and owning the car. It's not about being the best driver, it's about being the best owner.

Some are born to build, some are born to drive, rarely is there a man who can do both.

I agree, I can drive pretty well, but something like that.... It takes a certain zen in your character to get to drive that bad boy hard and get to the finish line in one piece.

So it doesn't wreck. You want an experienced driver in that caliber car and setting. Not any avg Joe with deep pockets can handle a car like that.

Great looking build!! I would have done a third gen though. The first 4th gen's that gale banks ran at bonneville flipped, compared to his 277/283 he ran with an 89 gta 454 twin turbo stock body. Hopefully mine can be in the same realm as this some day...

They are worth a ton of power. I expect to go from 220 air temps to around 100 degree air temps.

just look at the videos of that dummy in the orange Lambo.

Proof that just because you can afford to have a car built.....doesnt mean you should be allowed anywhere near the drivers seat.
