I don't know anything about that car but I could have sworn I saw it rolling down 290 once. The color and wheels stood out. Nice looking car.

I remember that car at MTI when it was getting the motor built. I also remember being right behind it on I-10 and the guy racing a bike back in 04? I talked to the guy who originaly owned it once or twice years ago, white guy, maybe in his mid 30s if that. Nine ball or Leo probably know him better

your best bet is to get ahold of david aka "poolfanatic" to see if he knows anything about the car.

i already got hold of poolfanatic and jayson cohen. they dont have paper work on the car anymore. they couldn't even tell me what oil they'd recomend. so i'll probably just go with castrol syn. or RP or M1. i'm tryin to find the owner cause i know he'll KNOW stuff about the car and might even have paper work and specific #'s. i have some basic paper work on the car i just wana know the details, stuff the original owner who had the car built would know
