Right. Iron. I forgot that's why He bought it. My friend was bragging about how damn cheap they were. But he also wanted it because he put around 1600hp through it. He said the Aluminum one couldn't hat that power. Steven Fereday put it together and claimed it was his. It wasn't. My friend bought it and got all the parts together. He's a decent guy mostly, but a douche for that.

Tony,

I am no longer going to sell the car it is just too much fun! I just built a new engine, upgraded the brakes and removed some weight so I can't wait for the first track event of the year. DBW= Drive by wire.

I was talking to a guy last year who was on his shakedown run at the track and he said that the aluminum block LS engines actually weighed less than the Porsche engine...

My guy wanted to buy your car at $25k, but he said he couldn't get a hold of you.

Anyway, I don't blame you. I feel the exact same way about my car. I mean... what could you possibly build for <$35k that would hold a candle to a LS1 951/968 with the suspension/brakes properly setup? (answer: nothing).

That's why I still have mine

It wasn't really serious!

I knew what happened.

I guess I should have asked yo uhow long you've been talking to yourself or something.

Light sarcasm with a dash of humor doesn't come across well on the internet.
