Well that's good to hear.. the full polish wheels just don't do it.. the other ones are though...

It looks like Karma might be done this year. There is another one with a ton of performance potential in it. I think once it is dialed in and Anthony has a bit of seat time that it will be a real contender in the performance arena. And the build quality is also outstanding too!

Those might be Canadian dollars. It's actually not anywhere near that in US dollars

$1,000,000.00 CAD = $968,794.69 USD

Karma is in the running for the same competition 50/50 is up for...

Only it's in the lead by a paint job and a motor!

Loved the spread on his paint in the Camaro Performers mag...

Unless the contest is best use of tube in a chassis, you might be correct.

No, only that the performance of some of these cars was compared and I think that Karma will be/could be on par with these cars in that area. AFTER a complete shakedown and some serious tuning of both the car and the driver. My point was that Karma is right up ther in quality and possibly performace with the best of them. (obviously the performance has yet to be seen)

Roger --

No problem -- just take it to Barrett Jackson - and someone will pay twice that much... just to get face time with Amy.... or maybe "the screamer".

The car is definitely cool, not my cup of tea, but you have to admit the fabrication work is outstanding.

The builder is French Canadian. His primary language is French. He writes better English than most of us could write French.

I agree, like it or not he has some top notch fab skills.

I love this car, cause it's a big block!
And it seems to perform pretty well!

Yep - I don't care if he speaks Nigerian or Swahili -- he built some kool stuff.

Agree with some other posters here though - would be way mo' betta if there was some track times to go with the build... Otherwise it's just an exercise in "because I can".
