they also said they wouldn't sell it, from the Modified Mag article it was featured in. Wonder what changed their mind? Also, they are probably kicking themselves in the *** and head since also according to the article, they turned down $120,000 since they were keeping it as their center piece. Oops, gotta hate that.

Thats gotta be one of the fastest 20B conversions on record. It's already been in magazines and the like, which usually take like 2 months from the time they decide to do the story until it hits print. The 8's have only been out since what, May? So that was maybe 6 months it took them to do that? Very impressive.

He does not use a guru tranny. He was planning on running an rx-8 6-speed guru converted tranny. The Guru has not been fully develped yet and would most likely not be able to handle that much power as stated by the Guru.

Anything's possible when u have enough money as that dude would of had. He would have just paid some one to do it all then paid them a bit more to do it qiucker.

But he is so up himself about it being " THE ONLY CAR IN THE WORLD OF IT’S KIND. !!!!" if he's so stoaked about it why the hell doesn't he keep it for himself!!!
