I recently had a running thread going with former NHRA Champion Eddie "the Four-Father" Hill, regarding the sale of his C5, and he is the exact same way:
ask him a question, and get a detailed yet courteous answer.

Sorry, but that's not your car. It belongs to Joey Steckler, Edmonton Alberta. He runs a 7.50 index. Most of your pics are directly stolen from his website.

It cannot be a "similar" car. Some of the pics can be recognized as identical.... except that you removed the "Joey's Place" logo from the side of one pic. Who and what are you... really?

Each body comes plain primer at approx $12000.00 US ea. the paint work is extra. As always, happy to answer your questions.
I know the cat is out of the bag...but his picture inside the car showed an aluminum V-firewall with burst tubes too small and outlawed by NHRA in 2004. The comment above regarding his kevlar firewall is bogus because #1 the pic show aluminum and #2 NHRA rules prohibit kevlar or magnesium firewalls.
