Live, learn, and appreciate life! Sometimes we get lucky. Cant believe its been 10 years.

The little seen full video. 10 years later, I don't think there is anything to hide anymore. Have your fun, just do it within reason. Near 200mph with no aero work is not advisable.

Yes, car turned into a wing, and the rear lifted off of the ground. Hit the wall a few times.

Yes, on my purpose built Busa (far from stock) and a UGR TTG. The first "2R" build they had. 100000x more stable than the colt at speed LOL

Wicked little car, glad you came away from that, a tin foil car like that would have folded completely without the cage.

Did you keep any trinkets off of it?

I had every intention of keeping the hood, but it was lost when we moved shops. I think I still have the helmet....

No, parted it out and about made my money back. The motor is still running to this day without rebuild. The turbo kit....never saw it again Supposedly on some grudge car down south. That set up was good for 1000whp....but I was lacking the fuel for it-1000cc injectors were maxed at 700whp
