From what I can work out, it looks like they have made a carbon body to suit one of there say GTO pro stock chassis, because when you look at the roof line and stuff, its heavily modified.

funny how the v8sc's are considered too nascar'ish by many, but this is lauded as a fg?
as awesome as it obviously is, it has about as much fg in it as your average excel...

I like it a lot.

It is a refreshing change tosee a current (shape) Falcon sedan in the class.

900 cubes is ludicrous, and I love it. Is there such a thing as a hipo 1000+ cuber????

yeah mate, Sonny Leaonard do a 1005ci 2150hp bohemoth of an engine.

you won't find many of these cars looking like the Factory car. when you are going 200+mph in 6-seconds, that is the last thing on your mind

this car below is supposed to look like a Mustang, but, when you want to get every bit of aerodynamics and run 260mph+ and 5-sec 1/4's it goes out the window.
