sorry dr kewl... only experienced drivers allowed to handle it. i'll give you a ride tho. this car is way too much for even intermediate/fast intermediate experienced track people to handle.

1500 lbs springs with a 350 lbs helper spring... custome valving, monoball everything, custom endlinks... this is the next evolution of the suspension system that holds the lap record at homestead driven by hugh plumb in 2003.

just so you know, stock spring rate is about 145 lbs... and people said that porsche's ride stiff.. LOL.. pansies... i can break the tires loose by blipping in 3rd.... street tires don't have enough grip...

shakedown run on thursday... this aint no sunday special by a non pro non racing tuner shop.. this is the real deal that runs at daytona 24, alms, rolex, etc...

dang.. i need more upload capability... max filesize and max number... oh well...

Kewl mods!! Actually, I want the "Master" to take me for a ride on the track!!

Love the custom RACE parts on the P-car!!

We should rename your car "SuperKetchup" or "SuperSalsa!"

Damn Adam! That's insane! You went from good to crazy. So much for wanting to streetable weekend track toy. This thing is no street car. BTW, are those CCW wheels?

I think you should rename it Dijon Ketchep. (No, that's not a typo. It's Ketchep because Ketchup was taken.)
