this car is insane, floorpan beam frontend pretty sure its only 2275cc with only street eliminator heads aswell i saw this car run 8.8 in 45 degree heat last year cant wait to see it at the bugorama in may
to see it hit top gear and lay down rubber is amazing- the 8.3 was with a lift in top !!!

Hi

that's pretty impressive, it doesn't look like there was many people there to witness it. Does anyone know the engine specs and other stuff.

Yes has pan but all it's doing is holding up the body and keeping his feet dry .
