I have seen this car in person and it is the second most impressive car I have ever seen. It could be a daily driver, runs 11.50s at 115 mph and wieghs in at over 4,000 beans. And BTW, it is a quiet car with full exhaust too. Show me a car that weighs as much, with a 3.23 gear, full exhaust, hydralic cam with a good idle, Q-jet, D-port heads on pump gas and I will listen. As far as expensive, it's really not. His combo has been tuned through the years by trial and error; but, it's not like he bought a set of ported eldebrock heads or anything.
