It is a 25-2 car we have been working on for a very long time now. It is a 94mm front mount as you can see, with a Warhawk 427. The Chassis was built by Vanishing Point, Corrols Rod and Racecraft handled a lot of the body fabrication etc, and we have done all the engine-turbo-manifolds-wiring-tuning- etc etc etc.

It has been a long road to put this car together, and we are looking forward to a fun filled season with it next year!


btw guys, THIS IS A RACE CAR!!

Just put the a/c back on it and we'll call it a street car.

Looks wicked! Can't wait to see it go.
