Very cool car. I like cars that dont look like much but they pack a powerful engine and modded suspension.

escrat1

no it is not, I believe their are two others besides mine, both of the other cars at a tube chassis race cars, mine is way diff in design and I'm keeping it a sleeper look

escrat1

the drivetrain will be a 5.0 ford and a t5 transmission

whats the insurance like with that many mods? from what i've seen people in us are lucky and can do most stuff unless its in a state like california with the smog rules
