Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it? I thought so too, but I got a kick out of these...

Man! I think that counts as building a car from scratch, and demolishing one all at the same time. That was like 60mins of video. I can't wait until they rebuild/swap the engine. I'll definately watch that one.

More like 60 hours of video! Most of it is played at double speed or more, and obviously they did a heck of a job in the editing. It was captivating to watch, I wish they had shows like that on speed/spike, instead of the off-the-shelf clean hands infomercials they always run.

I'm anxious to find out some details on the rest of the project. I'm curious if its going to be a stock motor, or even semi-stock like a later turbo mill. Or if they're just going to say screw it and toss a twin-turbo LS2 in there, like the car deserves! (Remember those "Darius240z" vids from years back with the supercharged SBC doing donuts and 50-100mph burnouts?)

Apparently there are some threads about it on english-speaking message boards, I'll post up the links once I find them.

He's also sponsored by POR-15. Never a more deserving car!

Also going to be wearing a lot of CF: hood, doors, cowl plate, front fenders, doors, dash, center console, rear hatch, tail light panels.
