I had seen a vid on this a while back, but not this one, so I though I'd post it up. Especially since I have none of my own....

Not sure which it is but I'm pretty certain it's powered by an LS series engine. I think it's the 6.0 but I could be mistaken

If only i struck it rich. I would have a list of 7-8 cars on order, that being one of them.

Been following the development of that car for a couple of years now. Glad to see they weren't another company the promised big things and couldn't deliver.

I see an LSx AFR head and Fast intake peeking out!!!!!

I would take this over the Veyron any day. This car is badass. I think the Veyron is hideous. Not to mention this gets better performance for 60% of the price with a good ole American V8 powering it. Cant beat that.

The kicker is "emissions compliant". Not many of us can say that.

Yeah but you just stated the drawback in your post. Slicks and big Stalls. This is street tires and a manual
