Does he know what he plans to go with ? I wish he'd keep the same engine, bust a 7 second pass and then do whatever

The article is a good one, high praise to Rick for all the time and work he put into getting the car done. I can't wait to see it go 7's hopefully at Bowling Green it will if not before then. Everytime the car fires up at the shop I get goose bumps.

I luv the fact it looks like a normal car... Sure the hood is a little over the top but they did what they could to make it look normal... I mean it still has side mirrors... sorry i've just been overwhelmed with this car since I learned about it.

Got the new issue yesterday.....cool article and coverage from the LS1Tech race. That is one HUGE turbo on the front of that car. Looks like it could suck a cat in from 50' away.

Anyone have any video of it at the track??? <EDIT> N/M....there's one on HPE's site.

Yeah Joe is the fastest LT1 N/A, Rick is the fastest useing spray. Pretty cool that there are still some LT1's out there whooping some LS1 ***

Joe O was on GM High Tech not too long ago, and now Rick. Pretty awesome that they got both of them in the articles.

Like Jninan2k2 said, it was something else to see this car run. Big Bronco (Grey) gave me a close up look at that beast. I was amazed when I saw it run 8.2@174 that day down at Atlanta Dragway!
