Oh.my.God.
One of the greatest pieces ever assembled. This shits on Foose and all that stupid street rod shit, this is a masterpiece, like da Vinci or something.

I wish I could have seen this in person.

I also would like to see it in person, I bet the engine sounds wicked!!

3000hp, does that answer your question?

no, a nice power to weight ratio would though

x2. It prolly runs like 7's or 8's compared to its hp in the range of 5's-6's. It takes so much effort to get all that moving, and the suspension has never been drag-tuned.

I doubt they start the engine because that would need repair here and there, and the parts are so rare they don't want to bother with it.

its hardly a bel air....and hardly much to care about. its like nascar with a 50's body. what would be impressive is to shove a airplane motor or helicopter motor in the front, under a stock hood. streetable still and can be driven daily. once again.....front motor rear wheel would be worth talking about build wise. the paint and all the details are incredible, and im speechles when i see some of them. bad *** car, with a wrong direction/.

Aircraft engines are a PITA of another level //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif That's why the FAA demands overhauls every couple of hundred operating hours...even on piston engines.
