Killer car and very deserving of magazine ink!"A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Great to hear Jerry. Your car deserves to be in PHR.
And for everyone who does not know Jerry personally, he is a stand up guy and deserves a TON of credit for building such an incredible car.

Thanks Jeff, just like you, I believe any car that has been built with any kind of performance stuff needs to be used in such manner. Although there's nothing wrong with having a nice looking car to go with the beating we put then through. Originally Posted by GBodyGMachine
