Title: so you think you have a serious race car, not compared to this.

Here is a link to some pictures of the most serious pinto race car you will ever see.  I know that this car has a ton of titaium and carbon fiber and is VERY light.  :lol: It will have a turboed 2580cc motor to push it.  this is one serious ride.  just take a look and you will agree.  i am thinking a 7 sec machine....

It is beautiful or what.  The workmanship is excellent. It is not mine though i do wish it was.  As usual with a car of this caliber small things like waiting for parts is holding up the completetion of the car.  But it will get done and when it runs i will report back.....

Truthfully  don't know what shell he started with.  This car is what is called a panel car.  The main chassis is build and the body panels attached to it.  I call it a work of art. The craftmanship is excellent.....
