If it sounds like the P-51 Mustang...it is the coolest sounding car on the planet!! This is one I am really looking forward to seeing!!

I can't stop going over those pics, each time I look i see something else so insane... call security I'm crashing your SEMA dinner!
Does it ever hit the street? Looks surgically clean.

That thing is super-insano in the best possible way

Yes it sounds pretty cool. The hp record info was properly submitted to Guiness but I don't think we have ever heard back. Guess I will have to check the next book. The current record holder was a car with a Allison engine that Leno owns. To see this car in person is when you really get a feel for all the work that went into it. Those rivets painted on the outside were done one at a time with each one being masked and shot at least three times to get the shadowing. There are about 6000 of those rivets. To start the car you have to set the fuel mixture to full rich. That would be a great way to empty out the party . Maybe if there is a lighted area outside we could move it out and fire it up.

We fired up Gil's 6 second pro-mod car last time (or was that 2 years ago?), I think it would be awesome. I'd love to hear that thing run.

Don't forget to get video of that and post for the less fortunate out here.

The longer you look at the car the cooler it gets. Can't wait to see it.
