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.

Byron -

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...."

Enough of this already----I just purchased it to ring in the new year. I'm going to put a set of Foose wheels on it and flip it for 1.5.

Maybe I will trade with "ChrisMoe" for his Vette-----LOL--
