rear wing and engine lid . There is a mild steel chassis that is current until mid year before it needs another inspection . Up front is a 6"
narrowed K&L adjustable beam with willwood disc brakes and 4 piston calipers . Out back ther is a 32" long ladder bar set-up with adjustable spax
coil over shocks , willwood rear hubs , 13" disc rotors and 4 piston calipers . This car is set up for a bus box and has a folts 5" shorter swing
axle conversion . This car has gone 5.86 @ 125 mph and 8.96 @ 161 mph when turbo'd , 6.72 @ 102 mph and 10.67 @ 118 mph with carbs , and , 6.31 @ 111
mph and 9.89 @ 134 mph with 140 shot of Nitrous . Ths car is now scratched on all four corners and will need some cosmetic touch-up's . I have done

engine for $ 13,000 , with the 2789cc Autocraft engine $ 22,000 or complete with enclosed tri-axle trailer for $ 27,000 . The complete package will
also recieve the complete digital MSD system , the 3 on board FXL data loggers with laptop full of data and the Nitrous system . I also have boxes of
spares that will go with the package deal and other engine combinations to suit all budgets . This car weighs 609 kg's without the driver and is
ready to race today , ROD , 02-42729920 .

Dave , that's because white paint is very very heavy . The start line weight is probably the same , ROD.

I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
