Thats one of the BADDEST drag cars Ive seen in a long time, one of my newer favorites. Killer looking T3 Ghia with an awesome name. Id like to know more about the car, if anyone knows anything. Engine, track performance, future motor plans, etc. More pics?

Damn. It only takes that car 9 seconds to go 1/2 mile. That's gotta be some type of record.  |

Erik, I don't know if Lance or Marty get on here much, but the car looks even better in person. The front end is a custom one off piece from England. From what Lance told me the shipping was outrageous!!

This is a beautiful car. I ran against him in Terre Haute IN. If i remember correctly they live in the Chicago area. This car does cover a LOT of detail and excellent sheetmetal work. They are still tuning/dialing this car in. Pretty sure it has a 2387 in it. It sounds good to man~ I expect some good numbers out of this machine next year.  |

Marty and Lance have to be two of the nicest people in VW drag racing bar none.  We are certainly lucky to have those two in the Midwest. Car is awesome to see in person. The word awesome gets tossed around a lot but it's true in this case. |

Yeah, I dig the induction above the windshield that flows back and dumps directly into the cool box. Nice work.

The front end is from a mold i had made prior to stretching my car, i now have molds for that front end and an 18" stretched version as i run on mine. |

What a piece of art man! What a beauty!
Did I read correct that the car will follow the F1 circuit and thus will be shown on European soil too?
