Car is not perfect but it is very very clean especially underneath and the engine compartment.
Makes approximately 650hp to the rear tires with 12 pounds of boost.
Have not had the opportunity to run on slicks but on street radials at our local trac with no prep and no trans brake went 10.90 at 130mph running rich 10.0afr with a bad 2.1 60f, bad tire spin. First and only time it has been ran, with a few changes or slicks will run much better.
Can be driven on the street and turns heads everywhere we go. Serious looking machine and sound mean. Pictures just don't do it justice.
Happy to answer questions.
