Default Pics of the new turbo car

Here are a few pics for those of you who wanted them. I know a couple of guys were wanting to see the front mount and E-Boost.

Silver Formulas look kick ***, and yours definitely looks sweet!

I've seen most of Rob's cars/trucks in person, he builds them nice and clean.

I am very **** about my cars. It was clean when I got it, but I spent over 12 hours detailing the car! The Mothers Clay Bar and wax works awesome!

Looks nice. Did you add that T/A wing? That's a sweet looking bird, for sure.

beautiful car.. shoulda left the spoiler

btw i dont notice the regular seatbelts..weight removal?? if the car has a lot of street duty you may want to reinstall.. i left mine in because i read that a harness is not DOT and you can actually get a ticket for wearing it and not your seatbelt.. could be wrong.. thats what i read.

can't wait to see how it performs at the track.

The car went 10.11 @ 140 leaving off idle basically. I have a Harlan 2-step now and when the 12 bolt is in I think it will go mid 9's leaving with some boost. That will be with the pump gas setting not the race fuel setting.

Oh, the shifter is a Pro 5.0 with a Hurst leather shift ****. The car has a D&D tranny and shifts like a dream.
