Obviously a little less weight would make it a tad faster and give it a little less body-roll...but this looks damn good!!!

Actually, that is one of the test mules, which IIRC they said the suspension was only like 60% final. The final product would be even better

Take the "camo" paint off of it, and that should be the commercial. And yes, that chick is pretty hot.

Thats not auto-X, it is just hauling around in a large open area. For the speed being carried the car does great, even better than I expected in the body roll.

If that is only 60% finished that sounds even better

I know that is not auto-x...that is why I placed an "ish" on it

Maybe they toned down the final version though who knows. Hopefully not. Anyone have finished production revs?

I think that was Dale Jr driving, and it was the mule with the LS2.

Badass, none the less.
