Thumbs up

Just wanted to say that this is one of the most insane projects I have seen to date all these years I've been browsing on this forum. Mad props to the amount of time, skills, and money spent.

Any new update on the body or engine build? Cant wait to hear how that motor sounds with that huge peripheral port.

Haha, I couldnt help but start laughing histerically while I was watching this video.

In the beginning, the car that is ahead of the BMW is smoking out the entire track... hes good at drifting but it just makes me laugh when I see how much smoke he is producing, hilarious.

its easy, you have to be willing to pay 10.70$ a gallon for fuel.
pay 36-40% tax, and more tax,and tax on that again, then some environmetal tax on the tax, then some administration tax,
oh, did i mension tax?
allso you would have to get used to 2 lane freeways with max 60mph limit (50 on 90% of them) and if you should speed alittle, your paycheck will be assraped for a looong time, and you will be thrown in jail
no, better stay in the US

I am more interested in the economics of the country than the driving regulations. The US has turned into a huge clusterfuck and if you havent noticed --- for the next 10 - 15 years, my generation will be fucked in the *** due to all of the recent bailouts, massive financial collapses, and corruption (maddoff?) -- the SEC is twisted, the financial markets have 0 transparency... its going to be an ugly place.
