As always Nelson builds amazing cars. I've always wondered what he builds / drives for himself though?

It's a Chevelle Malibu SS that's why he keeps saying that. That car is something else, it's got tons of power and drives like it's stock.

then your probably going to like the 1967 pontiac GTO that they are turning into a mid engined, all wheel drive, 2000hp monster.

Nelson racing engines is freaking insane, and they are right down the street from where i live

thats way too much power for a street car. Stock seats/belts?, no roll cage, Pretty stupid idea IMO. I doubt the owner will be able to handle that car.
