This is a competitive fast street car that you can race in super street (down to 11.0 ET) or you can jump into super sedan (SS/A - 10.99 or faster). If youre up for getting into something old school, matchfit and ready to party, this is it. It has 2step for rolling burnouts and is interfaced into the transbrake for launch control, its a riot. It has a brutal chop at idle, but the magic happens to your eardrums at 7000rpm!
I bought the car around april 2023 shortly after finding out I have stage 4 bowel cancer. This thing was absolutley flogged when I got it, aside from the car itself all I kept was the diff housing, door cards, engine mounts, drop tank, headers and rear shocks. Everything else ive replaced.
I got to tick off a bucketlist item, to build a 10sec road legal dragcar in my own shed and race it hard. I want to do some other things now before the cancer claims my life so Im looking hard at serious offers of 90k.
