Beautiful car. Fortunatley I will not have to race this car as it is a full tube car built for the pro class and mine is a 25.1E chassis built for the modified class. Great to see another rotary out competing. Ecspecially one of this caliper!!

As for the 850rwhp on a 2rotor that is a piece of cake

when i pulled up that engine shot, i just shook my head and mumbled "bastard"
i'm on the other side of the country, so you'll have to post some vids for us, or i can try to catch it on the speed channel. (when there is no nascar of course)
and for hell's sakes, dont forget crispy in that list ever again! hehe

Im sure when it does hit the track there will be plenty of cameras running. So you'll see it one way or another.

Leo is the builder and owner of the Car - period.
Carlos Lopez is the engine builder..

Cris will be tuning it, although it is not his design.
The setup is different, and has great potential,
even though it is largely untested.

Unibody

As a unibody car my car trapped as high as 154mph. That video is a good example of a burnout but a terrible examble of a run Based on the new weight/chassis modifications of the car and the power out put this year we expect to trap around 173mph.

After watching several of those passes Ive noticed that 3d gear is very short why is that?

edit I think the car is just very fast but is the boost increasing a lot when it hits third or is the gear ratio changed because its not much longer at all than 2nd

The gears arn't shorter, he's just goes through them faster. This will happen when you run 35lbs of boost making 760rwhp!
