Yup I think I have some shop on the back of mine too.. Icon Autosports?? I'm not sure if they have ever built fast cars I guess people will have to line up and see.
Our waitress was about to 'AX' us a question.

Wheelie bars are removable

As long as I can have my motor plate and things of that nature I plan on keeping 1x 15# bottle in her. Just have a gas tank in the front, nothing illegal about that one

Turbo's are TOO expensive.. Now if I had more financial backing I would have built an Outlaw car with a 18* SBC Turbo Parents have helped me as far as they could, so just like last time.. I gotta pay for it all So there goes more $$ LOL

Now if LS1Tech wanted to ya know sponsor me.. I'm sure we could build one FAST nitrous car.. Got the chassis and everything else.. Just need some good heads and perty intake and I think I could compete with the Turbo Guys.. well if the weights were fair.

15:1 Compression C5-R (410-420cfm) Headed 408" motor with a 400-500shot @ 3000lbs with a driver.. Think it should run pretty good..

Fawk got to thinking.. Damn I need to find a good paying job LOL!! If I had C5-R Heads, a sheetmetal intake, my fogger, Big Stuff 3, and some wheelie bars.. I think I could possibly hang with the turbo guys. I'd need 2800lbs.. But 7s would be possible! WTF is nobody playing with nitrous.. Is it just for broke asses like me

Your telling me!! Doing this stuff on a college student budget is a bitch!! Alot of stuff gets done in the garage, but for what we've done, with the help of ICON (Well alot of their help).. I dont think anyone can come close. We may not be the fastest.. but I think we've shown the world we are hear to come play.
