A bugeye sprite with a turbo ecotec would be pretty cool, or how about a Aston Martin like the one in the James Bond movies with a flathead Ford, or better yet, an LSx?

What is considered a "Tuner" car?
I thought most of the cars at import shows were called tuners...
Doesnt that include Euro cars?

The caption says the rear spoiler is actually a fuel cell. I am guessing it would be quite heavy when full if you needed into the trunk. May also be helpful weight up high like that with all the torque the car has.
What is the total fuel capacity Charlie? Did you get it home yet?Bill

Yes I have that 55 here now. There are 3 gas tanks. The wing is one ans there is one in each 1/4 panel. Hold about 70 gallons. I also got all that display stuff. Takes up a bunch of space. There is a hydraulic cylinder that lifts the trunk.

70 gals? That should be good for about a 10 mile cruise right? However, a very fast cruise.LOL
Thanks for the pictures, that car has to be amazing in person, so much detail. I look forward to seeing it. I was thinking the other day, THAT car would be cool going across the stage at BJ. They just think they have had show stoppers, that thing would blow their minds (and eardrums).......Bill

So theoretically speaking... How fast should this car be in the 1/4?

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

So Charley, do you have a commercial pilot's license to drive that thing.
Does it have an altimeter ?
Do you use ILS approaches to get into your garage ?
Wow, that's insane...
