What most people dont understand or choose not to understand is that making SHOW Cars is still a form of loving a car and working on the car!!! Sure it's not made for racing or even driving for that matter, but they are in the business of building SHOW cars...not race cars.... and they did a damn good job on this one!!

A car was built to be put into motion. A show car defeats that purpose.

At least the Engine - guy knew his stuff.

But looks like he could not have the last word about the hood mechanism.

"Yes you have to dismount the half IC piping to open that hood! " Said the NEED FOR SPEED freak design chief . haha
