That thread was locked on December 27th [I] 2008[I] I am curious why the OP here brought it back out from the dead zone? I just lost several valuable minutes reading the last couple pages. I will never be able to recover that time.
Thanks Jody for the link - that was some funny stuff.
I remember the last race in Indy with Roberto Guerrero. He was running the Kenny Bernstein Quaker State car and had the pole posn. It was a very cold day. Roberto suddenly spins out on the pace lap and run her into the fence.... destroying the suspension. He was attempting to hold the brakes while spinning the tires to get them to temp - when the turbo dropped in....
Id build that car for $325 000 with a written garantee on a deadline. these numbers are unreal. 10,000 hours? you should find something else to do for a living. In 10 000 hours many people could learn the skills needed to build there own car like this. whats his labor rate $1000 per hour??. sounds like a rubber measuring tape to me. nice car though..... ugly hood.
There's 2000 Labor hours in a YEAR - so it either took one guy full time FIVE years to build this - or 5 guys full time for one year... either way - it didn't happen.
And you're right - the hood is just plain BFU...
I remember seeing this at SEMA in '07 and thinking "they just didn't know when to stop...."
did here too.. there was a sema interview with the shop owner where he said somthing stupid like "we stopped counting hours when we passed 10.000" how do you bill them then??? is there a rebate on uncounted hours??

Wow, I guess the car rolled in one day and the forgot to turn the clock off and it sat in the back for a few years...
No way in hell that would take 10,000 hours. That's over two years.
