The look and fit of every thing on this car is awsum in person,Just put some finish work on the interior and got back home.They started it last night and is just badd a$$ sounding,one of the best cars i have worked on.You have to see the engine in person to see all the little details(one of Troy's Favorites,his words).The wheels work better than anything else that could have gone on it.Should be a good show for you guys,Thanks again Derek

Looks killer as expected. You must be siked! Who is driving on the autocross? We have not driven ours yet. Going to take it for a drive in 1 hour and stick it in the trailer and head north, UGH!

Really needs at least 20's on this car, and 18 fronts to me when sitting next to a few other high end rides the tires will look like truck tires. Should 1/4 mile good and hook up but dosent appear to be a drag car! and the wheels for one off's dont seem to work either ecs the color of them and the 20 thousand chrome bolts on it, I kinda expected more from troy besides this is what you see first the wheels and stance and of course color , and dont get me started on that on this car!

Right on! They had the engine running on ours at low rpm. Meaney called this afternoon to tune. Stick it in the trailer and GO...thats the way to do it.

Well we were at radrides today around noontime. Had lunch with the guys, watched some extreme stunts gone wrong on the tv and got to check out the rest of notorious before it went on the trailer. Car is phenomenal and there is nothing that we feel could be done to make this car more fitting for what we wanted out of it. I know they are probably still finishing up on some things as we speak but they were in excellent shape at noontime.

This has been one excellent ride for sure...with more great times to look forward to. And now a picture!

i was at the radrides booth last month at a show and they said there was talk about this Nova being driven to the show? i cant remember the guys name i think they call him Moose? anyways he said he hoped you guys trailered it.

p.s so is there any agreement between your dad and Troy that this car has to have a certain amount of event coverage at shows around the states? I know every year i see a different car at there booth but the owners are never there just the staff who built it bring it to the show.

p.p.s who is driving it in the auto-x? your dad or troy?

Yeah there was talk of that. Much safer to trailer it though, esp since its about a 6 hr drive. As far as an agreement goes with showing the car, we basically let Troy run with the ball. Whatever shows he wants to show it then he will. Hopefully we'll get it for a few weeks and enjoy it before summers over. I know there are a lot of venders at sema that want it as well. We will be at this show, the Joliet,IL goodguys and SEMA for sure.

We are going to try and see it do the autocross but we may not since we wont roll into the show till 1pm. Probably Troy will drive it.
