That thing is a beast!! It looks wayyyy better in person...the pics don't do it justice. It's a damn work of art! Even though Ricky was driving like his bowling game....slooowwwwww, the turbos were clearly heard with the windows up and the stereo on. But I can't wait for that Picasso to be tuned and the BOVs be singing!

I'm kinda late to this build. A madness V8 that can rip the tires off. It can smoke and hang with most super cars out there. Too much tq will require a solid suspension and chassis.

So the car was at the dyno today and we just got a few runs in. The tuner had to leave early due to other commitments. But the car is now totally streetable with very good power. I will not comment on numbers yet as the car isn't finished with the tune. But some of you may like the following video.
Enjoy. I did!

Looks like your steering fluid is a little low. Such an awesome mod!
