Just scan the pics at a much higher resolution so they are big enough to read.

I think they made a mistake, the very last page says it runs the quarter in 9 seconds flat. Man that 130hp is flying!

Thats a bit of a shady article! It says the rear end is a 3.91:1 as well!

Edit: the guy also has an ultra slick 1,050 RPM idle!...Is that good? haha

Edit #2: GSL-SE thermal reactor????

0-60 in 7.8 seconds. 1/4 mile in 9 seconds... Haha, too funy if only they actually read it over before publishing it! Very cool though, almost never see first gen articles, its about time!
