I like it this time around.....yeah, the fitment on the rims could be better but thats so minor and nit-pickish. Its sumthing that can be 'fixed' in 10 minutes with spacers, so its not really an issue to me. I know what its like to have a sponsor ship rims that dont fit...u just go with it because its your job to market the product at every chance.
They'll get it sorted out, im pretty sure of it.
This new build took sum original ideas and not the cookie cutter approch that NOS went with before. There seems to be a 'formula' that everyone tends to go with, like they're seeking approval for their builds these days or sumthin.
The engine is INSANE! I would LOOOVE to track tha car!!
Kinda makes me wanna keep my SC and rebuild it on sum next level privateer ish

Not to be too critical, but the motor setup isn't too clean. The pipe fitment is ok, the welding looks reasonable but maybe not by a very experienced welder. There should really be some pretty colorful stainless manifolds on a setup like that.
That said, I know what its like to build an HIN car, and its usually such a rush that I can completely understand if things aren't done to the standards that shop can produce. The time crunch of those type of projects is usually totally killer. Took years off my life lol.

blah blah blah
This car looks like its from the fast and the furious =0
but on the other hand it is a sponsered car and I'm guessing if you had the same oppurtunity you would take the it unless you want to stay slow or unless you are really rich.
and for my last 2 cents
give this guy a break his car has probaly been in more shows than anybody else on here...

i spoke to this guy in boston and he told me coke( NOS energy) gave him a huge check to build this so as for the wheels i think he ordered the fitment that way. i like the car overall but i agree with the people sayng he missed some stuff. awsome engine but if i go that far i would do something with the manifolds. to each his own i guess.
