+1. That car needs way more grip to be effective on the track. It is more of a crazy toy, but that's OK too!

I gots ta get me one of THOSE.

Interesting though ... and maybe its a problem with the 'sound track' ... but it seems like he's never getting above 5-ish k rpm. I have to wonder if that's because there so much power up top that no tires in the world will stick or if he has to keep it below 5k to keep from filling up the heads with oil and starving the mains?

But, nevermind, 'cause the power developed below whatever 'red line' he's limiting himself to is more than plenty enough. He can probably use the fuel gauge as a tire wear indicator. Replace them with every tank full.

That car is too light. They need to add some weight over the rear axles.

No timing belt covers. Can't really tell were the breather lines are going. They may be going straight to the knock sensor holes in the block or at least one of them is.

The car is for sale. About USD 66K. It was for sale two years ago for about twice the price. No street registration though.

This is a race car, no street registration. It was for sale for more than twice the price a year or two ago. Hard to sell?
