I'm calling BS on that 6 rotor. I've never seen any other pic of it besides the one on the site. Does anyone know the story behind it?

I'm sure they actually made it, but i doubt anyone has bought it.

that would be bad for a funny car imo but for practical use in a street or even a track car its just not. but would be cool to see in action.
