Kinda reminds me of an old Robb Report article from a few years back. Interesting

yeah i think in terms of power this is by far the most bad ***, and in terms of body this is one crazy car too, considering that both front and rear fenders are totally redone with real metal and hammer. although i am not sure about the front lip myself

Woah thats insane! I dont know much about the SC430s but can that transmission handle 700hp reliably? Yes, at certain angles, the front lip doesnt seem to flow right But thats just me nitpicking.

of course it's not the strong tranny. the stock one can handle maybe 500hp and that's about it. probably this is a totally rebuilt one

Just saw the latest article in L&E Mag. It is a modded tranny. Not only that but the 700 is rwhp. So this baby is making well over 700 hp at the flywheel. The owner uses this car often, it has 32K miles on it. Meaning the power has been made tame enough for daily driving. To me it's kinda stupid but the owner also wants to do more engine mods. COme on, what more do you need? I guess there's never enough power for some people. The car would look a lot better with a wald front lip but I'd hit it as is.

There's a video of it somewhere on this board. That car sounds amazing, you can here the whine of the supercharger and then rubber being burned!

Needs the 06 taillight updates.
Seriously, I read the article the other day in the magazine. Very impressed. Nice buildup. Daily burner waiting to kill just about anything out there in style. Replaced the dashpod gauges with an LCD readout display.
