Keep the videos coming!

What booth will the car be in for sema?

Eaton..but im not sure whats going on with the sema deal.

Tons of companies have been down sizing or just straight pulling out of SEMA this year. Booth space is getting tough this year.

I would be cool to see the car again this year at SEMA, I saw it in Columbus.

WOW

Rodger

Car looks AWESOME! I saw it this weekend at the Route 66 Festival in Springfield, IL. Are those wheels just a one off deal with that car? Or do you know if the rest of us can get a set?!

Thanks. The wheels are one off from Billet and I think they are possibly going to sell them. If they get enough demand for them then they will make em for sure.

does your dad officially own this car yet? or does he get the keys once RR has done all its publicity with it...ive just never seen anyone other then Troy or Jared behind the wheel..do they at least let your dad play with it everyone once in awhile lol?

p.s what did this beast pull on the dyno?

Well he owns it but hasn't driven it yet. Basically we get it once they are done showing the car. With us going into winter its no big deal. Plus it gives them time to iron out any bugs with the car. I myself haven't even been out on the open road with the car yet, actually none of us have (except Jared and Troy).

Summer 09 is the year!

No dyno numbers as of yet.

Wow, I guess this is normal for most high profile builds but that sucks your Dad lays out 200-300K I don't know maybe more and he will have to wait another year to drive :willy:

Whats the colour code on that car? if you dont mind me asking?

Summer of 09 is going to be a good year

for all of us. LOL

Mercedes Maybach Grey.

Yeah but thats cool. Keep it fresh ya know.

I saw somewhere the actual name is Terrafutte (sp?) Charcoal

Derek, After you told me the color name I looked into it and couldnt find this color. So I emailed Troy and they told me its called M7788 Tierra Del fuego (met Grey) off of a Mayback. So I looked again and Maybach has made this color for many for many years!!!!

Muscle Machine of the Year
 

Hot off the press from today!

Taken from Goodguys site: http://www.good-guys.com/news/newsSt...px?newsid=1166

1970 Nova “Notorious” has been selected as the 2008 Goodguys Muscle Machine of the Year presented by Detroit Speed & Engineering. The sinister charcoal and black Nova, built at the Rad Rides by Troy factory has pushed the G machine envelope to the brink. It’s a sinister machine which expertly combines extreme performance with impeccable build quality.

The exterior has been enhanced with one-piece door glass, custom slimmed down bumpers, rocker extensions, a belly pan, custom valences with Camaro driving lights up front, a one off hood, deck lid with integrated spoiler, Camaro taillights and more. All chrome trim has been painted black.

A massive 572-inch big block from GM Performance was mated to an F2 Pro Charger, an MSD “Big Stuff” ignition, custom headers and lots of trick plumbing rumble angrily under the hood. A Bowler Transmission and modified Detroit Speed suspension insure maximum performance. The one-off 18” Billet Specialties wheels are backed by Baer six-piston and fit snugly behind the rear fenders thanks to DSE mini tubs.

The interior is framed by a full roll cage with custom dash, Recaro seats, a Race Pack Instrument panel, one-off billet steering wheel and upholstery by the Recovery Room.

Came across this on youtube. Listen at 28 seconds in. Right when you see hansons camaro. That noise!

I was fortunate enough to see and hear Notorious at Good Guys this past weekend. That car is amazing and I can honestly say that sound is down right scary! Great Job! :thumbsup:

Was the Nova at SEMA?

Have you driven it ? How do you like it now you have had it some time ?

Nope. I looked for it but then was told it nor Troy made it out this year.

The nova didnt make it out :( Troy and his dad where there though. We went out to dinner with them the monday of sema week over at Cafe Martorano in the rio. I would have loved to see the car at the BASF booth with Ring and Fooses cars. That would have been :thumbsup:

Notice how the nova gets no love in that youtube video! Haha...camera goes right past it..!

Congrats, well deservred.
