OK, you posted at 6:42 and it's 8:11 now, that means you should be changing your pants shortly and we should have a detailed update on how it drives by no later than 9:30.......unless that thing launches into orbit.

That is just awesome! Those huge pulleys look like they're shooting at you! :D Your body work is great and hides the true power pretty well, you may get a few unsuspecting people wanting to race you. :D

Awesome Steve, nothing else to say about the car. Be careful when you test it, that thing has "killer" written all over it. You built this unbelievable beast, now you've got to learn to ride it. Congrats man, well done.

Steve, I suggest you get some Kevlar seat covers, otherwise you are going to be biting chunks out of the seat covers with your behind! :D
Damn that car looks great, I know you want to sell her, but you have to keep it long enough to really check it out and tell us how it performs.
Have you been contacted by any of the 'vette magazines to do an article on your car?
