Yeah, that is the car we put together at Wheel to Wheel when I was there. A lot of crazy stuff on that car.

- Twin Rotrex Superchargers
- Twin fuel system (Octane on Demand)
- Hours and hours of special fabrication work

Kurt pretty much got to drive it when it got driven. Was not his car though. Company owned.

Pretty sure it was a LS2 block with 4" crank (402cid), with either Dart or All Pro heads and Jesel rockers. Prolly around 8.5:1 cr. Custom headers made by the fabricators. Aluminum GM intake with 16 total injectors.

That car pulled up 3or 4 car lengths behind me during the Woodward cruise. The ground was shaking real good and I kept looking at cars with prostock scoops and wild paint trying to figure out who was shaking the ground so good. I looked right at it several times before I knew what was going on.

They followed that whole build didn't they? I read quite a few articles about it. I remember them building the cage in it tucked up in all the body pillars
so its not visible from the outside.. You can barely see it in that interior pic anywhere above the window line, but it was painted the interior color and runs
into the dash. Probably the best sleeper i've seen.

If I remember correctly it had an electronic shifter hooked up to the horn button. Just honk the horn & it's in high gear.
