The car is on its way to the Good Guys show in Ohio and will be on display at the Moroso stand.

No matter how you look at it, this is a sick vehicle. There are incredible amounts of engineering to make the car streetable.

Hopefully I'm going to do some additional photographic/graphic work with the owner.

cheers

Check out this video: http://ywnv.vidiac.com/video/a9e2c44...c9001f5d43.htm

He hits a 7.092 at 194. Rod says he has some more tweeking to do. It looks like a 6 second run is very doable.

Hopefully Rod is going to bring out the 63 to one of our Sunday morning church of the holy donut meets in the spring time.
